scPosImageVersion attribute of the POS image associated to your POS
client. For further information how to activate POS images with PosAdmin
refer to Section
Power on the POS client.
Experts: Optionally watch the log messages of the branch server using the
command tail -f /var/log/messages. Check if there are tftpd entries
while your POS client is booting, for example:
.. bs1 tftpd[31434]: Serving /boot/pxelinux.0 to 192.168.2.15:2070
.. bs1 tftpd[31435]: Serving /boot/pxelinux.cfg/C0A8020F to 192.168.2.15:57217

Figure 3.6 : As shown in the log file, the POS client perfoms a PXE boot
receiving the Linux kernel and its first stage boot image, the inird (initrd.gz).
Finally the CR control file is written on the branch server. For further infor-
mation about the CR boot process refer to Section
Watch the entries below the /tftpboot/upload directory. There you
should find the CR control file hwtype.<MAC Address>, for example as
shown in the trace above, hwtype.00:06:29:E3:02:E6. The CR control
file exists only as long as the CR configuration file is created. For further
information refer to Section
Watch if your POS client is able to boot the second stage POS image.
This is the POS image as configured in LDAP
as shown in Figure 3.6, the browser-1.1.1 image. If everything is ok up
to this point, you will watch the POS client booting until you get the
login prompt. To verify this you can do the following:
– POS client booting successful: Watch the entries below the direc-
tory /tftpboot/CR of the branch server. If the CR could be regis-
tered successfully in LDAP, the CR configuration file config.<MAC
