Ports.INI
A default Ports.INI file is placed on all your salespoints in your local Sales folder (C:\Program Files\Siriusware\Sales) during installation. Its purpose is to give Salesware module the necessary information to pop your cash drawer (it is also used for pole display set up). The settings used in the Ports.INI file are documented in the Salesware .INI Settings Reference. The Ports.INI file needs to be customized based on the cash drawer and pole display setups you have. The default Ports.INI file contains the following text:
