The configuration file allows setting up the following processes:
- connecting to POS -terminal;terminal or third-party software.
- processing the data transfer protocol from the POS-terminal;.
- logging the routing process;.
- forwarding data to the IP-address and port of POS-server;.
- receiving titles from multicast titles broadcast.
...
