JohnS:
The Message Server App (which is in Turkish) is located in C:\Program Files\SambaPOS2\Samba.MessagingServer.exe

Run it on one computer (aka The Server), and set all instances of SambaPOS to connect to it. If the Message Server is running ok, then you will see a green 'Connected' down the bottom right hand side of the screen.

You can see the Terminal App running here - http://www.youtube.com/embed/GuY3KN2DBdY
And the Message Server updating the screens here - SambaPOS iPad, Yazıcı ve Kiosk Entegrasyonu

It works! Many thanks. I didn't see "connected!" though. I used server name "127.0.0.1". (And changed port number to 8081 at all places just to make sure there is no conflict)

The only problem left is terminal application is not synced. I have changed department settings but I couldn't find the place to "set the terminal number".

JohnS:
When referring to network resources, always use the network name. Like my example, I used D620-PC for both the data connection string and message server name.

You will see connected after you restart SambaPOS.

How is your system setup? Are you using a terminal server, or remoting into the one machine with the PDA?

polymorpher:
Now I see it after restarting SambaPOS. In fact I tried both 127.0.0.1 and network name and found no difference as in theory there shouldn't be any difference.

This is what I am planning to do:

Use one computer to run MessageServer and SambaPOS (so 127.0.0.1 is correct), remote into the same machine with iPod (using terminal version) / iPad (full version). It would nice if terminal could be connected to MessageServer and synced, but it is not a big problem.

There is another problem with remote login - Unlike Windows Server, Windows 7 only supports one desktop session, that means only one instance of the client program (either full version or terminal) can be used at any given time.

I fixed it by following this guide:

Note: When overwriting termsrv.dll in system32 you need to manually change permission settings of that file so you would be allowed to modify/write on it.

(This is the safest way. There are some patches around the Internet but beware of torjan/viruses)

JohnS:
You are so close. This is where is gets fun.

First - Win 7 terminal server patch is what I use. So remember that each user has their own login, in my case POS01 (the PC), POS02 (the iPod) & POS03 (the iPad)

You need to copy the SambaSettings.txt file from C:\ProgramData\Ozgu Tech\SambaPOS2 to C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Ozgu Tech\SambaPOS2 for each user that will login. If you don't, then all users use the same terminal settings which is not want you want. Then delete the original SambaSettings.txt file so it can't be used.

Then login into the PC using each login, run SambaPOS and set the terminal name in Local Settings. Then when you log in using the iPod or iPad it will use that users terminal number. If all else fails, just get the full version of SambaPOS running the way you want, then the terminal app will work.

When I moved the SambaSettings.txt file, it all started working properly. This is the key when using Win7.

Best screen size for iPod - 400x600, iPad - 1280x960 and lock screen rotation.

Terminal does sync if you have the settings right. Remember to add your print jobs to the other terminals too.
