Tone support for Elo touch screens
IBM provides a utility which turns on or off the audible feedback for external 4820 Elo USB and RS-232
Elo touch screens. You can download the IBM_elotone4sle-1.0.0-0.i586.rpm package from IBM support
web site at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=pos1R4000246.
To install the package on SLED 11 or SLES 11, enter the following command on the command line:
rpm -ivh IBM_elotone4sle-1.0.0-0.i586.rpm
To install the package on SLEPOS 11, refer to the SLEPOS 11 documentation.
To activate the tone on an external 4820 Elo touch screen, enter the following on the command line:
./elotone4sle {--help} -s [DOWN | UP | BOTH | OFF] -d port -f frequency -t time
[DOWN | UP | BOTH | OFF]
Specifies whether the tone sounds when a touch is first recognized (DOWN), when a touch
is released (UP), at both times (BOTH), or not at all (OFF).
port Specifies either USB-attached (usb) or RS-232 serial-attached (/dev/ttySn).
frequency Specifies the frequency value in hertz for the tone.
time Specifies the duration in milliseconds that the tone sounds.
Chapter 1. Common configuration procedures 5
For example, the ./elotone4sle -s DOWN -d /dev/ttyS1 -f 1000 -t 200 command configures an RS-232
serial-attached Elo touch screen to sound a 1000 Hz tone for 200 ms when a touch is first recognized but
not upon its release.
Note: USB Elo touch screen are automatically configured at startup. No additional configuration is
required.
FBdev driver configuration
This chapter provides the procedures for configuring the serial touch screen installed in these IBM Point
of Sale hardware devices:
v IBM 4694-207/247/307/347
v IBM AnyPlace Kiosk 4838-5xx/7xx/9xx
v IBM SurePOS 100 4613-1x8
v IBM SurePOS 500 4840
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-781/741/722/7x3
By default, these terminals use the FBdev when setup, which only supports a single display.
To set the color depth and resolution of the display:
1. Launch the terminal application from Init 3 text console mode.
2. Use a text editor to add vga=nnnnn to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, after showopts, where nnnnn is
determined by the color depth and resolution of the attached monitor, as shown in Table 4:
Table 4. VGA codes for FBdev for monitor color depth and resolution
Color depth Resolution
(values in bits) 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
8 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307
15 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319
16 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A
24 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B
Alternately, you can add vga=nnnnn as a boot parameter.
VIA display driver installation and configuration
To install the VIA display driver:
1. Download the VIA video driver package from http://linux.via.com.tw/download/OEM/driver/
5.74.33.85a-sl11-47651-3-IBM.tgz.
2. Put the package in a temporary directory (for example, /tmp).
3. On the command line, enter the following:
tar -xvf 5.74.33.85a-sl11-47651-3-IBM.tgz
The package expands into the temporary directory, in a /74.33.85a-sl11-47651-3-IBM directory.
4. Follow the instructions in the /74.33.85a-sl11-47651-3-IBM/README.txt file to complete the
installation.
5. (Dual display only) Launch the terminal application from Init 3 text console mode and use a text editor
to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to suit desired dual-video and attached-monitors configurations.
Sample xorg.conf files for the supported dual-video configurations are provided with the driver
package.
6 Linux OS Configuration
MSR, Intermac scanner, and Omni scanner configuration
To configure a magnetic stripe reader (MSR) (0x4b3/4543), or an Intermac (0x4b3/454b) or Omni
(0x4b3/454c) scanner:
1. On the command line, enter the following:
mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb
2. If the scanner is driven correctly by the driver, you will see the ID of the device in
/proc/bus/usb/devices. For example, an Intermac (0x4b3/454b) scanner shows:
T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 2
P: Vendor=04b3 ProdID=454b Rev= 1.01
S: Manufacturer=I.B.M. Corp.
S: Product=I.B.M. Bar Code Scanner
S: SerialNumber=USBSCANNER00000000001
C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 2 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=ti_usb_3410_5052
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 2 Ivl=1ms
3. Check the dmesg.txt file to determine the port to which the device is linked. In this example, the
Intermac scanner is linked to USB port 3-2:
usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04b3, idProduct=454b
usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 3-2: Product: I.B.M. Bar Code Scanner
usb 3-2: Manufacturer: I.B.M. Corp.
usb 3-2: SerialNumber: USBSCANNER00000000001
You will also see ttyUSBUSB_port in /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-2 if it is driven successfully, where
USB_port is the USB port number to which it is linked.
4. On the command line, enter the following:
rm -fr /dev/ttySn
where n is the ttyS number for the RS-232 serial port to which the scanner is attached (which is a
value one less than the physically enumerated port number, because ttyS numbering starts with 0 not
1).
5. On the command line, enter the following:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSBUSB_port /dev/ttySn
to link the USB port from dmesg.txt to the serial port to which the scanner is connected.
6. On the command line, enter the following:
chmod 666 /dev/ttySn
7. On the command line, enter the following:
/bin/stty -F /dev/ttySn 9600 raw -echo
Note: For MSRs and Intermac scanners use 19200 in place of 9600.
If successful, the scanner will light up.
8. On the command line, enter the following:
cat /dev/ttySn
9. Scan a barcode and confirm that there is output on the display. For an MSR, swipe a magnetic card
and confirm that there is output.
Chapter 1. Common configuration procedures 7
Sometimes the scanner might be configured to turn off after each scan. In such cases, use the barcode
provided in the scanner configuration documentation to configure the scanner back to default factory
setting so that it remains on after every scan.

14 Linux OS Configuration
Chapter 3. SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service 11
procedures
This chapter presents configuration procedures that are specific to the SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of
Service 11 (SLEPOS 11) operating system, for IBM Point of Sale hardware devices.
Hardware requirements
SLEPOS 11 supports the hardware listed in this section. In YES CERTIFIED Bulletins, these systems are
certified as Server and Workstation. All certified hardware is supported by SLEPOS 11. You can check for
YES CERTIFIED Bulletin with Novell as follows:
1. Go to Novell YES CERTIFIED Bulletin site at http://developer.novell.com/yessearch/Search.jsp.
2. Enter the model that you are checking in the Keywords field. For easy searching, you can enter the
first four digits of the model type (for example, 4800).
3. On the drop-down list below the Keywords field, choose Hardware/Software.
4. On the Company list, choose IBM.
5. On the Novell Product list choose SLEPOS 11.
6. Click Search.
SLEPOS Admin, Image, and Branch Servers
For SLEPOS 11, these systems can be used as SLEPOS 11 Admin, Image and Branch Servers (refer to the
Novell SLEPOS 11 documentation at http://www.novell.com/documentation/slepos11/ for further
information for these servers):
v IBM SurePOS 500 4846-545
v IBM SurePOS 500 4846-565
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-741
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-742
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-743
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-781
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-782
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-783
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-C41
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-C42
v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-C43
A system that is categorized as a Network Server is certified for SLES 11, while a system that is
categorized as a Workstation is certified for SLED 11. A system that is certified for SLES 11 is qualified as
a SLEPOS 11 Server or Client, while a system that is certified for SLED 11 is qualified as a POS Client
only.
A POS terminal that is used as a combined POSBranch server should never be a high volume terminal.
Ideally, the combined POSBranch server should be an infrequently used terminal where reduced
performance is not a significant issue. You can expect to see degraded POS performance in a combined
system. To some extent, the degree of performance degradation depends on the other applications that
run on the server side of the system. If this system has heavy usage as an In-Store Processor (ISP) then it
should not be used as a terminal.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2009 15
SLEPOS 11 also supports IBM System x servers that have been certified for SLED 11 and SLES 11. Novell
provides a YES CERTIFIED Bulletin for each supported IBM System x server. Select IBM from the
Company list and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 from the Novell Product list. When selecting a
Branch Server, consult the Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Technical Specifications at
http://www.novell.com/products/server/techspecs.html.
SLEPOS client terminals
For SLEPOS, these systems can only be used as SLEPOS client terminals:
v IBM 4694-207/247/307/347
v IBM AnyPlace Kiosk 4836-x3x, 4838-x3x/3xx/5xx/7xx/9xx

v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-7x1/7x2/7x3
POSBranch Server configuration
SLEPOS 11 POSBranch Server configuration is similar to SLEPOS 11 Branch Server installation with
UPOS 1.12.x additional packages and Remote Management Agent (RMA) system management. For
hardware requirements, refer to the YES CERTIFIED Bulletin Search for the list of SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server 11-certified IBM POS hardware.
To configure a POSBranch Server:
1. Install SLES 11 according to the documentation at http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles11/.
2. Install SLEPOS Add-on package and choose Branch Server package.
3. Complete the form at http://www2.clearlake.ibm.com/store/support/html/driverss.html to
download JavaPOS (UPOS) 1.12, and install it.
Note: This package also provides POSS (C/C++ API) for Linux drivers.
4. Install RMA system management according to the documentation for the latest release at the IBM
Support web site (specifically, how to install in SLES 11).
5. Reboot the system.
To ensure that UPOS is installed and working correctly, use the POSControlCenter for testing. To ensure
that RMA is installed and working correctly, refer to the RMA User's Guide to make a connection to IBM
Director.
POS client image creation
SLEPOS 11 POS client images are created using the YaST2 Image Creator provided with SLEPOS. For
further instructions on how to create and what are the supported POS client images, refer to the Novell
SLEPOS 11 documentation at http://www.novell.com/documentation/slepos11/.
To include packages in image creation process:

4. Click Yes to save the image configuration and start building the image. Refer to the SLEPOS 11 guide
at http://www.novell.com/documentation/slepos11/ for information about image deployment.
Video and serial touch screen configuration
For systems with VIA video chipsets, drivers are packaged separately and must be either installed
manually on a POS system (see “VIA display driver installation and configuration” on page 6) or built
into a SLEPOS image (see “POS client image creation” on page 16). For dual video support, 4846-5x5 and
4840-xx3 are not supported because of X.Org and Intel driver support.
If appropriate for the system that you are configuring, you must also perform the procedures in “Serial
touch screen calibration” on page 3.
Additional package and application installation
Depending upon your environment, you might need to perform one or both of these procedures:
