Hardware System Requirements

System Requirements

Compatible computer systems may be used if they meets these requirements:

Workstations (Order Entry and cashier)

Touch panel or touch monitor: Touch display if desired but not required. Minimum resolution of 1024 X 768 is required. Higher resolution touch displays will allow more work area and permit easier navigation. Standard computer monitors are supported with the use of a mouse to navigate the program.

Personal computer running Windows 10 or higher. Recommended minimum 4 GB RAM.

100/1000 MBPS local area network (LAN) connection when using Point of Success in a network environment. Single-user systems are also supported. Wireless networking is not recommended.

Data entry can be accomplished in its entirety using a touch display, but a mouse and keyboard may make customer information entry easier.

Receipt printers: A list of compatible POS printers is available online at www.pointofsuccess.com.

Cash drawer: Printer-interface cash drawer is required. The drawer-kick signal is sent through the print driver which is sent though the "DK" port, or drawer kick port on the printer.

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with AVR (automatic voltage regulation) for every workstation highly recommended. A UPS will virtually eliminate power-related problems with both software and network.

Manager’s Workstation

Standard computer display with at least 1280 x 1024 resolution. Manager's workstation software can be used on an Order Entry workstation if the workstation has a display supporting 1280 x 1024 resolution and an attached keyboard and mouse.

Personal computer running Windows 10 or higher. Recommended minimum 4 GB RAM.

100/1000 MBPS local area network (LAN) connection when using Point of Success in a network environment. Single-user systems are also supported.

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with AVR (automatic voltage regulation). A UPS will virtually eliminate power-related problems with both software and network.

Database Server

Point of Success uses the Arsenal Database Server for managing and protecting data. The database software requires a computer running Windows 10 or higher. The computer running the database server must be on at all times when Point of Success is used. It is best to run the database server software on a separate server computer, but the database can also be loaded on the manager’s workstation or other computer on the network. Database software is not required for single-computer operation. Remember to include a UPS for power protection.
