the Workstation object. For more information on this process, see Section 7.7.3, "The
hwtype.MAC File" (page 100).
Before you can boot the Point of Service terminals, use posAdmin.pl to create the
following objects in the LDAP directory (see also Section 10.2, "Using posAdmin to
Manage the LDAP Directory" (page 128)):
• An scCashRegister object and its associated configuration objects for each
type of Point of Service terminal in your system:
• scHarddisk or scRamDisk
• scConfigFileTemplate (optional)
• scConfigFileSyncTemplate (optional)
• An scPosImage object for each client image file that you want the Branch
Server to distribute to Point of Service terminals.
Create the scPosImage objects and set the scPosImageVersion attribute to
Active before you boot the Point of Service terminals. The Point of Service ter-
minals require an scPosImage object with an active scPosImageVersion
attribute before they can download the corresponding physical image from the
Branch Server at boot time. For more information on setting the
scPosImageVersion attribute to Active, see Section 7.4.7, "Activating Im-
ages" (page 86).
With posAdmin.pl, you can add, remove, and modify Point of Service terminal
hardware assets such as Point of Service terminals, hard disks, network interface cards,
and configuration files with the use of reference objects in the LDAP directory. Hardware
reference objects are typically located in the global container in the LDAP directory.
NOTE: LDAP Attributes
Each LDAP object has two types of attributes: must and may attributes. The
must attributes are the minimum requirements for an object; the may attributes
are optional.
