Happy New Year's to all! I am hopeful someone can help with an ongoing issue: I have an Aloha POS, 3 terminals running in a restaurant/bar environment. The software is version 6.7.25, Term 1 & 3 are Radiant P1515, Term 2 is a P1220. All running Windows embedded. The BOH is a running Windows 7 professional. Term 1 gets the most use and on very busy nights it has the nasty habit of freezing up and then failing to located the fileserver. Term 1 is almost always the Master. I thought it may be a router issue because if I unplugged the router for 45 seconds +/- each morning before business it didn't have a problem. I installed a new router and the problems ceased, for a while. In the past the bartender would unplug the network cable, create fileserver and continue business. Then later that evening plug the network cable back in and fileserver/BOH would be detected and all would be right with the world. Then on New Year's Eve (very busy bar) it came back with a vengence. When the network cable was plugged back in it still could not locate fileserve and somehow corrupted the data. No fileserver and corrupted trans log/file folder for the day of 12/31/12. This issue only seems to occur on very busy nigts where a couple of hundred of transactions will take place. On quite nights with less than 75 transactions, no problems. Term 2 is used in a quiet part of the restaurant and has not had a problem. Term 3 is almost never used so we dont' know if it has a problem.
My service provider is trying to unravel the corrupted date files but they have been no help with fileserver issues. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas
