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 />

The table below summarizes the operating system environments<br />

available on the <strong>RealPOS</strong> <strong>7456</strong> in Release 1.0:

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 />

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 />
