cash_forward setup

Each package received from a POS-terminal describes single registered event and starts from the #CREP protocol identifier. The package can also contain the routing label by which the utility determines the IP-address and port of the POS-server according to the cash_forward.ini configuration file.

Note. Routing identifier corresponds to the identification number of the POS-terminal.

The cash_forward.ini file should be located in the same folder as the cash_forward.exe file for utility’s correct operation.

The table describes sections and parameters of the configuration file.

Section	Parameter	Description	Data type	Default value	Value range
[SERVER]	local_port	Local port to be processed by the utility	Whole positive numbers	-	0 to 65535
	max_in_connects	Maximum number of incoming connections to be processed simultaneously	Whole positive numbers	-	Depends on the number of POS-terminals
	socket_type	Network protocol for POS-terminal data transfer	-	tcp/ip (if the value is not set or is invalid)	tcp/ip – data transfer using TCP/IP, udp – data transfer using UDP
	dos	Text conversion from DOS to Windows codepage	Boolean	-	0 – data is not converted, 1 – data is converted
	tunnel_id	Forwarding all incoming packages to the selected POS-server irrespective of package routing labels	Routing label in the [FORWARD] section corresponding to the selected POS-server	Data is redirected according to the package routing label	Depends on the number of identifiers listed in the [FORWARD] section
	xml_convert	Text conversion from G2 to XML format	Boolean	-	0 – data is not converted, 1 – data is converted
[FORWARD]	Identification string	Sets the correspondence between the routing label and POS-server IP-address/port	Routing label, IP-address, port number	-	-

Note.

The local_port number corresponds to the settings of the network connection of POS-terminals to the Cash Control POS-operations control system.

Attention!

If the routing label of a package has no match in the utility configuration file, and tunnel_id is not set, the package is deleted.
