Introduction The UP-820F/UP-820N inter-register communication (IRC) system consists of one master machine and up to 31 satellite machines which are all interconnected by the local area network (LAN) to provide data transmission among them. This system allows the manager to exercise centralized control over the satellites through the master. LAN Master Satellite Satellite Max. 31 satellites • One of the satellites may be used as a back-up master. The additional RAM board, UP-S04MB2, must be insta

2. Open store operation (OPXZ mode) – master and satellite When the open store operation is performed at the master, the IRC system is opened. POS can send AT command by this job. This function controls a modem, but doesn't have control over registration and T-LOG. The procedure for the open store operation is as follows. Select “OPEN STORE” from the OPXZ mode window and press the key. e • You can also perform the open store operation at each satellite. NOTE • The open store operation cannot be

3. Close store operation (OPXZ mode) – master and satellite When the close store operation is performed at the master, the IRC system is closed. POS can send AT command by this job. This function controls a modem, but doesn’t have control over registration and T-LOG. The procedure for the close store operation is as follows. Select “CLOSE STORE” from the OPXZ mode window and press the key. e • You can also perform the close store operation at each satellite. NOTE • When the close store operation

4. Clerk system In the IRC system, the following two types of clerk file systems are available: a centralized system and an individual system. In the centralized clerk file system, the master manages transaction data on clerks within the IRC system. In the individual clerk file system, each machine manages its clerk transaction data. In choosing the type of clerk system, consult your authorized SHARP dealer. (1) Centralized clerk file system Centralized clerk file system – without the overlapped

1) When the clerk signs on at a machine other than the one used in his or her previous operation: In this case, the overlapped clerk data is sent from the master to the satellite (transfer of overlapped clerk data). 2) When the clerk signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation: In this case, no data transfer occurs between the master and the satellite but the data stored in the save file of the satellite is called back. This permits quicker data look-up than a

5. Sign-on operation (clerk assignment) (REG mode/MGR mode) The sign-on operation is intended to assign a clerk to a machine (satellite/master) and enable him or her to make registrations at the machine. If a clerk successfully signs on at a machine, his or her clerk code appears on the LCD of the machine. Sign-on procedure (This procedure is the same as for clerk assignment at a standalone machine.) Clerk assignment • For the contactless clerk key system: Set a corresponding clerk key to the cl

6. Clerk sign-on report A clerk sign-on report can be generated at the master. This report is used to know which clerks have signed on at which machines. Report generation procedure 1. Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection window. 2. Select “READING” and press the key. e The READING window will appear. 3. Select “INLINE CONFIG” and press the key. e The INLINE READING window will appear. 4. Select “SIGN ON CLERK” and press the key. e The OUTPUT TO window will appear. 5. Select “DISPLAY” or

7. Sign-off operation (cancellation of clerk assignment) (REG mode/MGR mode) The sign-off operation is intended to cancel the assignment of a clerk to a machine and terminate his or her registration operation. The sign-off operation at a machine (master or satellite) can be done only for the clerk who has signed on at the machine and are not in the middle of a registration entry. Sign-off procedure • For the contactless clerk key system: Remove the contactless clerk key. * The contactless clerk

8. Downloading the contents of the programming to satellites – master When you have completed the programming at the master, you can distribute the preset data from the master to all or desired satellites in the IRC system. (1) Initial downloading For initial setup of the IRC system, follow the downloading procedure below. When the preset data in the master is downloaded to each satellite, existing preset data in the satellite, if any, is cleared. 1. Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection w

(2) Maintenance downloading To update the preset data for the IRC system, follow the downloading procedure below. The preset data in the master is downloaded to each satellite without clearing its existing preset data. 1. Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection window. 2. Select “MAINTE. D/L” and press the key. e The MAINTENANCE D/L window will appear. 3. Select a preset data item for maintenance and press the e key. Enter an appropriate code range if needed.
