Chapter 1: Introduction<br />
Overview<br />
This <strong>doc</strong>ument summarizes the hardware and software considerations<br />
when migrating from NCR <strong>RealPOS</strong> 7452 and 7453 Terminals to the<br />
new <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Terminal.<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> is designed to replace the <strong>RealPOS</strong> 7453, which is<br />
being discontinued in 2002. Like the 7453, the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> features a<br />
compact modular cabinet which is optimized for space-constrained<br />
environments.<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> does not replace the full-size <strong>RealPOS</strong> 7452, which<br />
supports both modular and integrated configurations. For customers<br />
utilizing a modular configuration, the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> may provide an<br />
alternative to the 7452. However, for customers requiring maximum<br />
expansion capabilities (bays/slots) and an integrated (unified)<br />
configuration, the <strong>RealPOS</strong> 7452 should be considered.<br />
Note: 7452-35xx and 7453-35xx share a common motherboard and are<br />
referred to as the Series 3500. The 7452-40xx and 7453-40xx share a<br />
common motherboard and are referred to as the Series 4000.

Chapter 3: Migration Considerations<br />
Migration Considerations Summary<br />
Outlined below are the key migration issues which need to be<br />
considered when transitioning from the <strong>RealPOS</strong> 7452/3 Series 3500<br />
and 7452/3 Series 4000 to the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> POS Terminal:<br />
• New Processors Supported<br />
• No ISA Support – PCI only<br />
• No CMOS Memory Support – Compact Flash available<br />
• Powered USB / Powered RS-232 – Peripheral Cabling<br />
• Operating System Support<br />
• Video Support<br />
• Dual Display (Multi-Monitor) Support<br />
• Dump Switch Support<br />
• Base Platform Drivers (Video, Ethernet LAN)<br />
• Retail Platform for Windows (OPOS / JavaPOS) Support<br />
• 74XX Retail Platform for DOS (TAPS) Support<br />
• Gold Disk Migration<br />
• BIOS Compatibility<br />
• IRQ Assignments<br />
Each of these migration considerations are addressed in the section<br />
below. In addition, please refer to the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Order &<br />
Configuration Guide for detailed configuration information.
3-2 Chapter 3: Migration Considerations<br />
New Processors<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> is highly scalable and supports a range of Intel<br />
Celeron and Pentium III processors, including:<br />
• 566MHz Intel Celeron (66MHz Front Side Bus)<br />
• 850MHz Intel Celeron (100MHz Front Side Bus)<br />
• 1GHz Intel Pentium III (133MHz Front Side Bus)<br />
Depending on the 7452/3 Model and processor currently utilized,<br />
performance may be higher on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>. While application<br />
modifications are typically not required when upgrading processors,<br />
customers and software partners should fully test their software<br />
solution when migrating to the new platform and processor. An<br />
i<strong>ncr</strong>ease in performance can reveal timing problems in the application<br />
that were not discovered at slower processor speeds.<br />
Powered USB / RS-232 - Peripheral Cabling<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> offers the enhanced connectivity required for retail<br />
with support for legacy RS-232 peripherals as well as the growing list<br />
of USB peripherals. Like the 7452 and 7453, the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> provides<br />
power for both a 24V printer and 12V peripherals such as customer<br />
displays, electronic payment devices and select scanners. However, in<br />
some cases, different peripheral cables are required.<br />
12V RS-232 Peripherals<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> 7452 and 7453 utilize Auxiliary Power Ports to power 12V<br />
RS-232 peripherals. The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> utilizes Powered RS-232 ports,<br />
which provide 12V power on pin 9 of the RS-232 port. As a result,<br />
different cables are utilized for 12V RS-232 peripherals.
Chapter 3: Migration Considerations 3-3<br />
24V RS-232 Printer<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> utilizes the same RS-232 Printer data cables that are<br />
used on 7452/3 terminals. However, different power cables are<br />
utilized to power the printer. The 7452 and 7453 utilize an Auxiliary<br />
Power Cable (1416-C336-00X0) which plugs into the 24V Aux Power<br />
Port. The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> utilizes a 24V Power Cable (1416-C712-00X0)<br />
which plugs into the 24V Powered USB port. Note: this cable is<br />
designed to pull power from the 24V Powered USB port but does not<br />
use USB as the data interface.<br />
24V USB Printer<br />
When configuring a USB Printer on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>, a 24V Powered<br />
USB Cable (1416-C713-00X0) is utilized which connects to the 24V<br />
Powered USB port and provides data and power in a single cable.<br />
USB Keyboard and Mouse<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> supprots both PS/2 and dual port (PS/2 or USB)<br />
keyboards and mice. A dual port keyboard or mouse can be connected<br />
to either the PS/2 port or to a USB port using an adapter cable.<br />
Note: If using the dual port (PS/2 – USB) type of PC keyboard or<br />
mouse with a USB connector on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> with the<br />
Performance Daughter card (six USB ports with audio), connect the<br />
dual port keyboard or mouse only to USB Ports C, D or E on the<br />
terminal.<br />
No ISA Support – PCI Only<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> 7452 and 7453 provide a combination of PCI and ISA<br />
expansion slots. The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> features two PCI expansion slots<br />
(no ISA slots) so legacy ISA adapter cards are not supported.
3-4 Chapter 3: Migration Considerations<br />
ISA RS-232 Expansion Cards<br />
The following ISA RS-232 Expansion Cards released on the <strong>RealPOS</strong><br />
7452 and 7453 are not supported on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>:<br />
• 7453-F141/ 7452-K141 ISA 2-Port RS-232 Expansion Card<br />
• 7453-F144 / 7452-K144 ISA 8-Port RS-232 Expansion Card<br />
For RS-232 connectivity, the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> includes four external RS-<br />
232 ports and one internal RS-232 port (dedicated to the UPS battery)<br />
as standard features. For customers requiring additional RS-232<br />
connectivity under Windows 2000 or Windows 98, the following PCIbased<br />
RS-232 Expansion Cards are available for the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>:<br />
• 3212-K170 PCI 4-Port RS-232 Expansion Card<br />
• 3212-K171 PCI 2-Port RS-232 Expansion Card<br />
Note: The PCI RS-232 Expansion Cards listed above are not<br />
supported under DOS/TAPS, Windows CE or Linux. For DOS/TAPS<br />
environments that require additional RS-232 connectivity, the 3030-<br />
K169 PCI 4-Port RS-232 Expansion Card should be utilized. Contact<br />
RSD Product Management for information.<br />
For Windows and Linux environments, customers can also take<br />
advantage of the Powered USB connectivity available on the <strong>RealPOS</strong><br />
<strong>7456</strong>.<br />
Third Party ISA Cards<br />
In some cases, the customer may be using a legacy third party ISA card<br />
with the 7452/3. Typically, third party suppliers offer PCI versions of<br />
an adapter card to maintain compatibility with current PC technology.<br />
In those instances where a third party supplier does not offer a PCI<br />
version of the required adapter card, an alternative supplier or solution<br />
needs to be identified. If required, the Third Party Products and SCER<br />
processes are available to assist in identifying and qualifying<br />
alternative solutions.
Chapter 3: Migration Considerations 3-5<br />
No CMOS Memory Support<br />
Operating System Support<br />
The 7452/3 Series 3500 and Series 4000 include 128KB of CMOS<br />
memory as a standard feature. Non-volatile CMOS memory is<br />
typically used in diskless environments to store totals and other<br />
information, but it can also be used in a configuration including a hard<br />
disk. For Windows environments, NCR offers an OPOS Hard Totals<br />
Driver, providing a standard programming interface for totals stored<br />
in CMOS memory. For DOS environments, a TAPS Hard Totals driver<br />
is also available for the 7452/3.<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> does not support CMOS memory. However, if<br />
required, the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> can be configured with 64MB of nonvolatile<br />
Compact Flash Memory. Compact Flash utilizes an IDE<br />
interface and appears to the system as a fixed storage device (e.g., drive<br />
D).<br />
Compact Flash Memory can be configured with or without a hard disk<br />
and can be used as an alternative to CMOS memory providing nonvolatile<br />
storage of hard totals and other information such as logs and<br />
tallies. In addition, for small footprint operating system environments<br />
that do not require a hard disk (e.g., DOS, Windows CE, and Linux),<br />
Compact Flash can be treated as a boot device and can be used as the<br />
primary local storage device for the POS client.<br />
Platform Software support for Compact Flash Memory<br />
To facilitate the migration of Windows applications that are using<br />
CMOS memory to the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>, the OPOS Hard Totals Driver<br />
supports both Compact Flash Memory and a Hard Disk Drive.<br />
The current DOS (TAPS) Hard Totals Driver does not support Compact<br />
Flash Memory. If required, this can be requested using the SCER<br />
process. Please contact RSD Product Management for information.<br />

Video Support<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> motherboard includes an integrated video controller<br />
which provides on-board support for either an analog CRT/LCD (at<br />
various screen resolutions) utilizing a VGA (RGB) connector or a DVIbased<br />
LCD display utilizing an industry standard DVI-I (Digital Visual<br />
Interface) connector. Both video interfaces cannot be used at the same<br />
time. The –I designation indicates the DVI-I interface supports Digital<br />
and Analog video.<br />
NCR’s next generation LCD displays, such as the 5964 Touch Screen,<br />
include a DVI interface compatible with the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> DVI-I<br />
connector. For legacy NCR LCD Displays which do not include a DVI<br />
interface, the appropriate PCI LCD Video Card must be ordered and<br />
installed in the terminal:<br />
• 5982 5" Mono VGA LCD Display – requires the 5952-K052 PCI<br />
VGA LCD Video Card<br />
• 5953 12.1" Color SVGA DynaKey – requires the 5953-K152 PCI<br />
SVGA LCD Video Card
Chapter 3: Migration Considerations 3-7<br />
NCR’s new 5942-2100 12.1” Color LCD includes an analog interface<br />
compatible with the on-board analog VGA connector on the <strong>RealPOS</strong><br />
<strong>7456</strong>. A PCI Video card is not required when the 5942-2100 is the only<br />
full screen display configured on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>.<br />
Note: A new version of the 5953 12.1” DynaKey is planned for<br />
<strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Release 1.1 (Q3, 2002). This new DynaKey model<br />
includes a USB Keyboard / MSR interface and a DVI Video interface<br />
compatible with the on-board DVI-I connector on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>. A<br />

Dual Display Software Support<br />
The table below summarizes the dual display support available on the<br />
<strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> by operating system.<br />

Linux<br />
No (Requires SCER for NT CID Drivers)<br />
Yes (OS provides multi-monitor support)<br />
Yes (OS provides multi-monitor support)<br />
For the 7452/3 Series 3500 and Series 4000, NCR has developed special<br />
CID drivers to support dual display configurations for a variety of<br />
operating system environments including DOS and Windows.<br />
On the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>, dual display support is provided using the<br />
standard multi-monitor capabilities built into the operating system.<br />
This simplifies the configuration and implementation of dual display<br />
environments. As outlined above, DOS does not support multimonitor<br />
capabilities so dual display configurations are not supported<br />
on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> under DOS. Dual display support under<br />
Windows CE or Windows NT is available by special request using the<br />
SCER process.
3-10 Chapter 3: Migration Considerations<br />
BIOS Setup When One of Two Displays Uses the 5953-K152<br />
(C&T 69000) PCI SVGA Video Adapter<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> BIOS has a setting to force it to designate what is the<br />
"Default Primary Video Adapter." It can be set to either AGP (through<br />
the motherboard's DVI-I or VGA connectors) or PCI (through a PCI<br />
video adapter card). By default, the BIOS setting is set to PCI. With<br />
the setting set to PCI, if the BIOS does not detect a PCI video adapter<br />
card, it changes to look for the primary display on AGP. There is no<br />
need to change this setting to AGP unless you want to force it to use<br />
the AGP as the primary display when there is a PCI video adapter card<br />
present.<br />
There is a restriction requiring the use of this setting when two<br />
displays are used and one of the displays uses the 5953-K152 PCI<br />
SVGA LCD Card (with the C&T 69000 video controller), which is used<br />
to control the 5935-3X00 DynaKey. In a multi-monitor configuration<br />
(two full screen displays) using the current 5953-3X00 DynaKey, the<br />
5952-K152 PCI SVGA LCD Card cannot be defined as the primary<br />
display. The customer information display (CID) connected to the<br />
motherboard needs to be defined as the primary display in the BIOS by<br />
changing the Default Primary Display Adapter setting to AGP (not<br />
PCI).<br />
This restriction only applies to the PCI SVGA LCD Card with C&T<br />
69000 video controller, and only if there are 2 displays used. For other<br />
cards that were tested, either AGP or PCI could be set as the primary<br />
display, so no action is required.<br />
When configuring the current 5953-3X00 DynaKey (with 5952-K152<br />
PCI SVGA LCD Card) as the only full screen display on the <strong>RealPOS</strong><br />
<strong>7456</strong>, the DynaKey and its PCI SVGA LCD Card should be defined as<br />
the default primary display adapter. No action is necessary since PCI<br />
is the default setting.<br />
To view or change this setting, start the Phoenix BIOS Setup Utility by<br />
pressing F2 at startup. Press the right-arrow-key to display the<br />
"Advanced" menu. Press the down-arrow-key to highlight the<br />
"Advanced Chipset Control" sub-menu. Arrow-down to the "Default<br />
Primary Video Adapter."
Chapter 3: Migration Considerations 3-11<br />
Dump Switch Support<br />
Base Platform Drivers<br />
The 7452/3 Series 3500 and Series 4000 include a Dump Switch which<br />
can be used for DOS and NT environments. The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong><br />
includes a Reset / Dump Switch which is located behind the keylockprotected<br />
media access door. A BIOS setting permits the user to enable<br />
either the “reset “ mode or “dump” mode. In <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Release<br />
1.0 only the “reset” function is supported. In <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Release 1.1<br />
(Q3, 2002), a BIOS upgrade will be available to enable the “dump”<br />
functionality for Windows 2000 environments. There is no physical<br />
change needed to support the switch, so the new BIOS could be loaded<br />
in the Release 1.0 <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> terminal to enable this function. Dump<br />
Switch support for other operating system environments is available<br />
by special request using the SCER process.<br />
When migrating to <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>, the base platform drivers such as<br />
LAN and Video must be updated.<br />
Ethernet LAN<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> onboard Ethernet controller is a National<br />
Semiconductor DP83815. The drivers for this new Ethernet controller<br />
are preloaded with all O/S Recovery and Gold Drive images. LAN<br />
drivers are also available by ordering LPIN D370-1111-0100 Base Client<br />
and 3rd Party Drivers (Release 3.06 or higher).<br />
Video Driver Compatibility<br />
The CRT or LCD display configurations running under the DOS<br />
Operating System typically use the standard video modes available<br />
with DOS. Therefore, a new <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Video Driver is not<br />
required for DOS.
3-12 Chapter 3: Migration Considerations<br />
Windows Operating Systems include standard VGA and SVGA video<br />
drivers that provide support for color depths of monochrome or 16<br />
colors. For resolutions greater than SVGA or color depths greater than<br />
16 colors, a <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Video driver is required. The video drivers<br />
are preloaded with all Windows OS Recovery and Gold Drive images.<br />
Video drivers are also available by ordering LPIN D370-1111-0100 Base<br />
Client and 3rd Party Drivers (Release 3.06 or higher). These video<br />
drivers are required to drive NCR's CRT and LCD displays at their<br />
maximum resolution and color depth.<br />
Retail Platform for Windows (OPOS / JavaPOS) Support<br />
NCR OPOS and JavaPOS are supported on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>. Retail<br />
Platform Software for Windows (LPIN: D370-0548-0100) provides the POS<br />
Client software necessary for a <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Windows 2000 client.<br />
This software product is distributed on CD ROM and includes:<br />
• NCR OPOS Release 2.02.00 (or higher)<br />
• NCR JavaPOS Release 2.00.04 (or higher)<br />
• NCR FitClient Manager LE Release 3.00.00 (or higher)<br />
• NCR FitClient Agent Release 3.00.00 (or higher)<br />
• NCR Log and Tally Agent Release 2.03.01 (or higher)<br />
(previously titled NCR Store Minder Runtime Client)<br />
• NCR Log and Tally Development Kit Release 2.03.01 (or higher)<br />
(previously titled NCR Store Minder Development Kit)<br />
NCR OPOS Support of USB<br />
NCR OPOS supports the USB keyboard and its peripherals through<br />
drivers written to the USB HID (Human Interface Device) standard.<br />
The USB printers and USB scanners, however, must be accessed<br />
through software that makes it look as though the USB data is coming<br />
through a serial RS-232 interface. The NCR OPOS Service Objects can<br />
then communicate through what looks like the serial port.
Chapter 3: Migration Considerations 3-13<br />
This conversion is provided through the use of the Inside Out<br />
Networks Edgeport software. This software is available in the<br />
IONETWORKS directory of the Base Client and 3rd Party Drivers - LPIN<br />
D370-1111-0100. This is not a new requirement for the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>,<br />
but is a restriction that developers should be aware of, considering the<br />
abundance of USB ports that are now available.<br />
74XX Retail Platform for DOS (TAPS) Support<br />
NCR TAPS is supported on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> for DOS environments.<br />
74XX Retail Platform Software for DOS (LPIN: G370-0824-0000) includes<br />
the TAPS Platform Software (Release 5.0.0 or higher) for the <strong>RealPOS</strong><br />
<strong>7456</strong> Terminal. This software is distributed on flex disk.<br />
Gold Disk Migration Requirements<br />
BIOS Compatibility<br />
An operating system image that was installed and configured for the<br />
7452/3 platform does not operate correctly on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>.<br />
When migrating to the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>, there are many gold drive<br />
changes that must be considered. It is recommended that the<br />
organization responsible for system integration permit for extra<br />
integration testing to validate the Gold Disk/Load Image with their<br />
application software. The OS must be upgraded using the <strong>RealPOS</strong><br />
<strong>7456</strong> OS Recovery Image. For DOS, once the OS recovery upgrade has<br />
taken place, it is up to the system integrator to install the base system<br />
and third party drivers found on LPIN D370-1111-0100. The DOS LAN<br />
driver must be installed from the third party drivers LPIN to enable the<br />
network functionality under DOS.<br />
The <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> motherboard includes a new flash BIOS to support<br />
the new hardware platform. The new BIOS is not backward<br />
compatible with the 7452/3 terminals. The flash BIOS is available on<br />
LPIN A370-0022-0100 74XX BIOS and BIOS Update Software.
3-14 Chapter 3: Migration Considerations<br />
BIOS updates can be performed from the bootable CD included in the<br />
LPIN or from the Fit Client Manager Server. On the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong>, this<br />
is done from either the integrated IDE CD-ROM Drive (<strong>7456</strong>-K141) or<br />
the external CD-ROM Drive (2336-K024) with parallel interface.<br />
Please refer to the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> Hardware User’s Guide for a full<br />
