Page 20: Software Components
CPU requirements are substantially less than a traditional desktop operating system. POS Application The Workstation 4 is a hardware platform, capable of supporting one of several MICROS POS Applications and possibly third party applications. Throughout this manual, the term ‘POS Application’ is used somewhat generically, and could in fact apply to any of the following software products.
Page 21: Micros Client Application Loader
MICROS Client Application Loader (CAL) The CAL plays a key role in managing the installation and ongoing maintenance of the Workstation 4 POS application software. The CAL consists of two parts. One part resides on the WS4, (CAL Client) and the second part resides on the system server (CAL Server).
Page 22: Pos Application Update
What is The Workstation 4? Software Components POS Application Update An update to the POS application becomes available. The updated application files are staged on the system server and the configuration file is modified. Each CAL Client periodically checks with the CAL Server to see if updates are available and recognizes the updated configuration file.

Workstation 4 Diagnostics Based on DEMODIAG, the hardware level diagnostics program for the PCWS Eclipse, the Workstation 4 Diagnostics resides on the Disk On Chip in the \Utilities folder. This program is documented in Chapter 4. Workstation 4 Setup Guide...
Page 24: Memory Architecture
The DOC is currently a 32M device factory populated in a 32-pin Dual In Line Package (DIP) socket. Larger sizes may be used in the future. The DOC represents the non-removable half of the Workstation 4 mass storage solution. Windows CE views the DOC as a Windows file system. In Windows Explorer or My Computer, it appears as ‘\DOC’.
Page 25: Compact Flash (Cf) Card
What is The Workstation 4? Memory Architecture The contents of this device are shown in Figure 1-13, below. Figure 1-13: WS4 Disk On Chip Contents • The Windows CE .NET image resides in a hidden partition and includes a copy of the default system registry.
