Emergency Tips

Never shut off the server by pressing the power switch alone, always follow the reboot/shutdown procedures in order not to risk damage to your program and/or hardware.

If your workstations freeze or are working improperly, they can be turned off by pressing the power button on the unit for 5 seconds. Once the workstation is off, power it back on to see if the problem persists.

* Note that in a 3700 system workstations sometimes run order printers such as a kitchen or bar printer, these printers will not work if the workstation is off or not operational.

If your credit cards are having a problem, check your modem by the server. Be sure it is turned on, if so turn it off then turn it back on and try another authorization. Otherwise call for Merchant Link Customer Service at 301-562-5000 for credit card related problems or Micros Help Desk at 1 800 937 2211 for technical problems.

If a printer is not working correctly there are a few things to look for1. Check for power to the printer2. Be sure the cables to the printer are not loose or unattached3. Be sure the paper and/or ink is loaded properly4. If the printer is run by a workstation, be sure it is operational and

is connected properly at the workstation end5. After these things are checked, turn the printer off and on and

try printing once more

Backup Server ModeBackup server mode (BSM) is the state that occurs when POS Operations cannot communicate with the network server PC, but can connect with a predesignated backup server. The Backup server must be a disk-based PC on the network that runs Windows NT.

Standalone ModeStandalone mode is the state that occurs when POS Operations cannot communicate with the network server PC or a predesignated backup server, but can operate independently on the local UWS.

Entering Offline ModesIf POS Operations is unable to connect to a database server to perform a transaction, it prompts the user:‘No Communications with Database Server. Enter Backup Server Mode?’If the user answers Yes, a screen displays the message ‘Switching Servers... Please Wait.’ If a predesignated backup server cannot be found or is not configured, or if the user answers No, another prompt appears:‘No Communications with Database Server. Enter Standalone Mode?’If the user answers Yes, the UWS enters Standalone Mode. If the user answers No, the UWS attempts to reconnect to the central database server. If the attempt to reconnect is unsuccessful, the prompts loop back around to the first prompt, ‘No Communications with Database Server. Enter Backup Server mode?’ The UWS will continue to prompt the user until it either reconnects to the database server, or enters backup server or standalone mode. The transaction that resulted in the failed communications will not be lost, and may be continued in offline mode. *It may take up to 5 minutes to enter offline modes, depending upon the state of the system.

24

Page 26: Micros 3700 Mgr Manual

Restart Backup Server shortcut If the primary server is down and clients must be started manually (i.e., without the use of MICROS Control Panel), use the shortcut that has been placed on the desktop of all disk-based clients. The shortcut Restart Backup Server starts all relevant processes for that client and pushes each client into offline mode. Do NOT click this under normal operations!!

Control Panel in Standalone ModeWorkstations in Standalone Mode have their own control panel for starting and stopping system operations. When setup is run for a client with standalone operations, two shortcuts, Start POS Operations and Stop POS Operations, are placed in the MICROS 3700 Applications menu. These shortcuts are used to start and stop operations when disconnected to a server.

Exiting Offline ModesReconnection to the database server spurs clients to enter recovery mode. During this process, the local transaction system of all POS Operations clients is frozen. If the user is inside a transaction, recovery will not start until that transaction is closed. The display will show a POS Operations screen stating ‘Switching Servers…Please Wait.’ The following screen will be a POS Operations load screen similar to the one that appears when POS Operations is first loading. After the POS Operations splash screen disappears, the user returns to normal mode of operations. All transactions performed in offline mode will be replayed back into the central database. All sales activity will be current.

Offline LimitationsStandalone mode and backup server mode do not support some features. They will either not work correctly or return an error message ‘Not supported in Offline Mode.’ These features are:

Manager Procedures, Autosequences and Reports, POS Configurator Labor (includes clocking in/out, reprinting timecards, incrementing employee shifts) Edit closed check Decrementing menu item specials (item counts will not update) Increment business days (standalone and backup server mode clients can stay in

offline modes indefinitely, however, when recovery occurs, all transactions are replayed into the last business date known to the system)

Saving UWS colors and contrasts per employee Menu Item Information Batching and settling credit cards

Some POS Operations features are disabled or function differently in Standalone Mode. The disabled functions include:

Clock in and out, Bank declaration at sign in, Manager Procedures, Editing a closed check, Menu item availability, Reports (except SAR reports), Remote printing to diskless clients, PMS posting.

Modified features include credit cards, which must be authorized manually, and guest checks that can only be picked up from the UWS from which they were begun. When the

25

Page 27: Micros 3700 Mgr Manual

connection between the server and the UWS is restored, all outstanding transactions are updated in the central database. If software versions on the server and the workstation are different, the system will remain in standalone mode until a correction is made and the server and workstation have the same version of software.
