Terminal restarting loop

[Links56]

Hey guys, I haven't posted anything on here for a long time. Anyway I am having a problem with a customers pos terminal. He's had 2 that I set up for him a couple years ago and they were working fine until one of the screens back light went out. So he purchased a new terminal and I Copied over Aloha from the old one. If one terminal is on and one off the one that is on will work fine, then if you turn the second terminal on it will just keep restarting over and over and over. But if you shut them both off and turn the second one on first then it is fine and the first one will restart constantly. I know I am over looking something simple.

I'm also having a issue with the printers they are TM-88III and I cannot get them to open the cash drawers anymore. The only thing that has changed has been that new terminal.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Check ibercfg.bat on the terminals. Sounds like they are both setup to use the same Term#. They should be named Term1, Term2 on the network. Match ibercfg.bat settings to the proper Terminal number on the network.

I checked the ibercfg.bat on both the terminals and they are correct. Whenever one terminal is running it says Master and the other one will start determine the master terminal and then determine fileserver will just stay at 0 then it will restart and do it again. I have checked the IP addresses and tryed several things I just dont understand why the problem occurs on both of them. Is there something I need to change or configure on the server? Thanks.

Hey guys I got it working thanks for the help. I didn't have the drive mapped right. I was curious though if terminal 1 is the master terminal and it gets shut off for some reason then terminal 2 becomes the master terminal. When terminal 1 comes back on should it become the master again? when ever terminal 2 is master then terminal 1 just says determining file server ...0 and restarts. the only way they will both run is if terminal 1 is started first and is master then terminal 2.

You don't have the drives shared the same account and or the username/password accounts need to be the same on both terminals and the server.
