Swapping terminals in Aloha

[maliciouz]

Hi, I recently just had a terminal fail on me in my business and would like to take an existing terminal i have in a different part of the restaurant and move it to and replace the spot where my recent terminal failed on my was. What do I have to change inside my aloha manager or in my computer to have it respond?

You can either change any peripherals (printer, msr, display, cash drawer, etc) to reflect the new terminal # in Aloha Manager or you can change the terminal/computer name (Example TERM1 > TERM2) and SET TERM variable in Environment Variables and/or ibercfg.bat batch file (SET TERM=1 > SET TERM=2).

Where do i find the ibercfg.bat? I looked in another thread as to where the location is but i had trouble finding it

It's usually in the Aloha folder or the root of the aloha drive. See if Aloha loads by way of a shortcut to it in the Windows startup folder. If it's not there then it's possibly it's all in the environment variables.

You would only be able to edit it in ibercfg.bat if it exists in the start up folder. If it does not, your system is probably set up to use RAL which loads the terminal configuration through the fileserver. I would look for the RAL Admin Console and from there you can set it to reload to which ever terminal you want it to be and upon reboot, the system will do the rest.
