IT Power System This product is suitable for connection to an IT power system with a phase-to-phase voltage not exceeding 240 V. Peripheral Usage This product should only be used with peripheral devices that are certified by the appropriate safety agency for the country of installation
(UL, CSA, TUV, VDE) or those which are recommended by NCR Corporation. ii Environmental Consciousness NCR is demonstrating its concern for the environment by designing an intelligent power management system into this terminal that operates efficiently whether the system is in a stand-alone or network environment. Grounding Instructions In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the products plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately. iii iv Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction About This Guide ............................................................1-1 Release 3.1 and

This includes the following components:
CBSs Note: The RealPrice Release 3.4 Communication Base Station (CBS) is a 10/100Base-T Ethernet device and may be used in a 10 Base-T or 100Base-T Ethernet network. CBS power supplies Data and power cables Transmit and receive antennas For information about ordering these parts, refer to Appendix A. Note: After the RealPrice hardware is installed, the RealPrice software must be configured and the site must be RF certified. Refer to the following documents:
"Chapter 4: CBS Configuration" in the RealPrice Software Guide
(B005-0000-1479) RealPrice RF Certification Utility Guide (AIP-000269) or the "Certify RF Infrastructure" section of the RealPrice Implementation Guide
(B005-0000-1250). 2-2 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure Policy for New Installations It is the CBS installer's responsibility to ensure that CBS firmware revision levels are correct at the time of installation. The correct firmware level is one of the following:
1. The latest firmware version available at www.ncr.com -> Support -
> Drivers and Patches -> Retail Support Files -> Retail RealPrice Support Files. 2. A customer-specified firmware version. A small number of customers do not allow installation of any new firmware that has not been integration tested in their lab. The installation project planner (usually NCR Professional Services) informs if this is the case. Due to supply chain logistics, new CBSs may not come pre-installed with the latest firmware. Always verify. To keep up to date, subscribe to the RealPrice software/firmware update mailing list. NCR uses this list to announce new firmware releases. Subscribe by sending an email to majordomo@lists.ncr.com with "subscribe realpriceupdates" in the body of the message. Installation Recommendations The most efficient way to install the RealPrice hardware infrastructure is in one pass through the store. Install the CBSs, antennas, power cables, and data cables all at the same time. Whenever possible the CBSs should installed at 15 feet or lower so that serviceability by the ladder is possible. The primary CBS must be installed so that it is serviceable from the floor. Label all CBSs, antennas, and data cables. Document how components are labeled for future reference. Label all power supplies and 48V cables for serviceability. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-3 Power supply labels should indicate which CBSs they power, and the fact that they are part of the RealPrice ESL system. The 48V cable labels should indicate which CBS they lead to. Neatness makes servicing the system much easier. Do not mount the power supply AC main power strips on the floor or in a place where they might be accidentally switched off. Do not mount power supplies on the floor or in a place where wires might get accidentally pulled out. Provide slack in cables, especially in receive antenna cables. Test the system as it is being installed. Refer to Chapter 3, CBS Network Utilities and Diagnostic Tools in the NCR Utilities Guide
(B005-0000-1487) for information on testing. Provide AC power that meets NCR requirements for the power supplies. Refer to the "Power, Grounding and Distribution Requirements" section of the RealPrice Site Preparation Guide (B005-
0000-1501). Test wiring as it is installed. Some installation problems are extremely difficult to diagnose later. RealPrice Release 3.x requires the RF infrastructure to be connected to the site's RealPrice Software Controller to test the infrastructure. Refer to the following for information on testing the infrastructure and site certification:
RealPrice Implementation Guide (B005-0000-1250) RealPrice RF Certification Utility Guide (AIP-000269) RealPrice III Certification Site Survey Policy (497-0421218) 2-4 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure General Layout Instructions The cable length between any two devices (10/100Base-T compatible Ethernet hub to CBS or CBS to CBS) cannot exceed 100 m (328 ft.). The maximum number of Ethernet levels beyond the primary CBS is three (3). The maximum total cable length is as follows:
Cable Ethernet (primary CBS to last CBS in chain) Power supply to last CBS in the chain Maximum Cable Length 300 m (984 ft.) 162 m (532 ft.) Use only NCR authorized communication cable. Communication cables must be secure and locked into their connectors. The maximum number of CBSs per store is 85. If the communication cable is routed through an exposed area, such as up the side of a wall, across the top of a freezer where merchandised is stacked, or in an elevator shaft, it must be in a conduit and the conduit must be connected to the building ground. The minimum distance between a communication cable and a fluorescent, neon, or incandescent light is 30 cm (12 in.). Minimum distance between a transmit or receive antenna and a neon light is 2.43 m (8 ft.). All communication cable connections must be protected from electrical and mechanical deterioration. The deterioration of communication cable connections due to corrosion or electrolysis, especially in a humid or corrosive atmosphere, may result in electrical noise. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-5 Minimum distance between the transmit antenna and any receive antenna connected to 1 Watt or 500 mW CBS's is 9.2 m (30 ft.). Minimum distance between the transmit antenna and any receive antenna on a 100 mW CBS is 6.2 m (20 ft.). There is no minimum distance between two transmit antennas. The minimum distances between a communication cable and electrical equipment/associated power cables are as follows:
Maximum Rated Circuit Power 1 kVA 2 kVA 5 kVA Over 5 kVA Unshielded Power Cables Shielded Power Cables 30.5 cm (14 in.) 45.7 cm (18 in.) 60.9 cm (24 in.) 152.4 cm (60 in.) 2.54 cm (1 in.) 5.08 cm (2 in.) 15.24 cm (6 in.) 30.48 cm (12 in.) All interconnecting wiring between the Ethernet hub, CBSs, and power supplies is low voltage wiring. This wiring must conform to all local and national electrical codes for the routing of commercial signal wire. Do not route communication cables outside the building. 2-6 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure Tools and Supplies RealPrice infrastructure installers must have access to the tools typically found in an electrician's tool box. Additional tools and supplies an installation team may require are shown in the following table.

Timeslots are assigned in pairs (1, 13; 2, 14; 3, 15; and so forth) to each CBS. To provide the most efficient communication network, adjacent CBSs must have timeslots that differ. The optimal difference is 6, but in larger installations, this may be difficult to accomplish. The timeslots for the CBSs shown in the Sample Store Cabling illustration in the previous section could be set as follows to achieve efficient communications:

CBS Hopping Table Each CBS is assigned a set of hopping frequencies in the 2.4 gHz range that it uses to communicate with the ESLs. There are 565 frequencies available numbered 0-564. CBS models have 83 frequencies in their hopping table associated with a Hopping Table Index (0-82) in a single frequency band. Local regulation may limit the number of frequencies permitted. For example, in France, only 142 frequencies are used. To provide the most efficient communication network, CBSs must not have the same hopping table. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-13 Hopping frequencies are assigned during the manufacturing process, but can be modified using the RealPrice Support Utility. Refer to Chapter 2: The RealPrice Support Utility in the RealPrice Utilities Guide (B005-0000-1487) for details on how to use this utility to view and set the CBS Hopping Table after the RealPrice Base Software for Windows NT/2000/XP is installed.

Alternate CBS Mounting Solution Transmit Transmit A A B B C C D D Receive Receive 21397 Connecting Ethernet Data Cables From the primary CBS, a data cable connects every secondary CBS in the system as shown previously in CBS Ethernet Cable Connections section. Note that the Uplink data connector is used to connect to a higher level CBS and the data connectors 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used to connect to lower level CBSs. Otherwise, use standard CAT5 Ethernet wiring conventions. General Comments Regarding Ethernet Wiring In this section, the assumption is that RJ45 connectors are being crimped directly to the ends of each cable. It is acceptable to use punch-
down jacks and pre-fabricated CAT5 patch cables, or any other generally accepted CAT5 wiring methodology. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-23 Connecting the Ethernet Hub to the Primary CBS Each store configuration has only one primary CBS. All other CBSs are secondary CBSs. The primary CBS is connected directly to the Ethernet Hub. Standard 4 pair, CAT5, 24 AWG solid, unshielded cables are required for all Ethernet communications. Locate the Ethernet hub. 1. Cut a length of data cable that is long enough to reach from the hub to the primary CBS. Refer to "General Layout Instructions" section for maximum cable length information. 2. On each end of the data cable, install the wires into an RJ45 connector as shown in the following illustration and then crimp the connector onto the cable.

Plug the data cable into the Uplink data connector on the primary CBS. Connecting Secondary CBSs Follow these steps to connect the secondary CBSs:
1. Cut a length of data cable that is long enough to reach from one CBS to the next CBS. 2. On each end of the data cable, install the wires into an RJ45 connector as shown in the previous illustration and then crimp the connector onto the cable. 3. Plug the RJ45 connector into data connector 1, 2, 3, or 4 and into the Uplink data connector of the next CBS. 4. Repeat steps 1 3 until all secondary CBSs are linked by a data cable. Connecting Power Supply Cables Refer to the illustrations in the CBS Power Supply Cable Connections section. Power supply cable routing is store dependent. The power connector provides flexibility to connect additional CBSs in series from one CBS to another or in parallel from a CBS to four other CBSs. Connecting CBS Power Supplies to AC Power Place the CBS power supplies with the host computer system, if possible. Plug all power supplies into a common power strip so that they can be powered on and off at the same time for reset purposes. AC main power strips must have an indicator light to prevent confusion about whether the system is currently powered on or off. DO NOT remove power by unplugging the +48 VDC plug from the power supply or the CBS as this may cause damage to the CBS. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-25 Cable length restrictions may prevent installing all power supplies in the same location. In this case, it may be necessary to install a separately switched AC main circuit so that the power supplies can still be controlled at the same time. If local electrical codes or special circumstances require the installation of more than one switched AC main circuit for the power supplies, all the main circuit switches should be in the same easily accessible location. Do not install the CBS power supply in the ceiling. 1. Have an electrician install new AC receptacles if needed. 2. Do not plug the CBS power supply into an AC receptacle until steps 1 6 in the next section are complete and the transmit antenna is connected to the CBS. Connecting CBS Power Supplies to CBSs Each CBS power supply can power up to five CBSs as shown previously in the store configuration illustration. The wiring is the same for each group of up to five CBSs. Follow these steps to connect a CBS power supply to each group of up to three CBSs:
1. Cut a length of power cable that is long enough to reach from the power supply to a CBS. 2. Splice the power cable wires to the pigtail supplied with the power supply (black to black and red to white) and then crimp the provided crimp connectors over the splices. 2-26 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 8 7 3 3 21953 Black White 2 White Black White Black 5 4 6 1 Note: Colors shown are for recommended Belden cables. Your wire colors may be different. 21398 3. Plug the connector into the power supply. 4. On the CBS, unplug the power connector. 5. Install the power cable wires into the connector (white into pin 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 [48 V] and black into pin 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 [Ground]). Use pins in pairs: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10 for each power cable connection at the CBS. 6. Plug the connector back into the CBS. 7. Insert the AC power cable into the power supply's AC receptacle. 8. Connect the AC plug to the AC power source. 9. Turn on AC power by setting switch to ON position. (Green light indicates that power source is working properly). Caution: To prevent damage to the transmitter, the transmit antenna must be connected to the CBS before applying power to the CBS. CBS Antennas Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-27 Two types of antennas are available:
Transmit Receive The transmit and receive antennas look similar, but have the following differences:
The transmit antenna has a small blue dot on the antenna case. The transmit antenna has a 1.83 m (6 ft.) cable attached. The cable has a threaded reverse polarity TNC connector that attaches to the CBS. The receive antenna has a 0.25 m (10 in.) cable attached. The cable has a female BNC connector. A CBS Receive Antenna cable (1424-
C057-0180) is used between the attached cable and the CBS. This cable has two BNC connectors. Note: The new Antenna cable for Freezers is 6 meters (19 feet) long. Note: With 100 mW CBSs, a 15 m (49 ft.) receive antenna cable 1416-C520-0150 must be used instead of the usual 18 m (59 ft.) receive antenna cable. 14086 Consider the following when installing antennas:
When connecting cables to antennas (especially Transmit Install the antennas at the same time that the CBSs are installed. antennas), make sure connections on both ends are properly aligned on the threads and are screwed down completely. Use care when connecting cables so the antenna cable connector is not loosened from the circuit board inside the antenna. 2-28 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure On a suspended ceiling, mount the antennas to the ceiling tile. In an open ceiling, hang the antennas from the roof trusses. When mounting the antenna, face the front of the antenna (the side opposite the cable connector) towards the ESLs, with as few obstructions between it and the ESLs as possible. Caution: The transmit antenna is required to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices. A separation of 20 cm (8 inches) or more must be maintained between the antenna and all persons during device operation to satisfy RF exposure compliance. Installing CBS Antennas The transmit antenna and receive antenna kits include the same mounting hardware. The installation procedures for the transmit and receive antennas are the same. Note: Observe the following precautions to avoid RX antenna ESD failures:
1. Always connect the RX cable to the CBS before connecting the cable to an RX antenna. 2. Keep antennas in their anti-static packing bags until they are ready to be installed. 3. Before handling, installing, or removing an RX antenna, touch a grounded metal surface. 4. Only trust antennas that arrive in silver-gray plastic bags with anti-
static warning stickers. 5. If using a lift truck, ensure that it has an anti-static ground drag strap. If it does not, then drag a short length of metal chain from the lift truck undercarriage to dissipate any static energy. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-29 Mounting an Antenna to a Suspended Ceiling Suspended Ceiling 20354 Note: Maintain a minimum distance of 9.2 m (30 ft.) between a 1 W or 500 mW CBS's transmit and receive antennas. Minimum distance for a 100 mW CBS's transmit and receive antennas is 6.1 m (20 ft.). To install an antenna on a suspended ceiling:
1. At the desired location, make two (2) 16 mm (5/8 in.) holes in the ceiling tile using the template provided with the antenna kit. Note: Make sure debris from the ceiling tile does not fall into the antenna connector. 2-30 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2. Screw the 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) antenna stud into the 1/4-20 UNC hole in the back of the antenna. 3. Route the antenna cable through one hole in the ceiling tile and the antenna stud through the other hole. 4. Place the 31.75 mm (1.25 in.) fender washer on the antenna stud and screw the 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) wing nut onto antenna stud until it firmly holds the antenna against the ceiling tile. 5. Connect the antenna cable as follows:
Transmit antenna - Attach the 1.83 m (6 ft.) Transmit antenna cable to the CBS. Receive antenna - Connect one end of the Receive antenna cable to the CBS. Attach the Receive antenna pigtail to the other end of the Receive antenna cable. 6. Use cable ties to secure the antenna cable. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-31 Mounting an Antenna in a Freezer Freezer Gasket Freezer Bracket 7730 RealPrice CBS freezer layout guidelines sometimes require mounting receive (RX) antennas inside of freezers. To prevent mechanical and moisture damage to the antenna or freezer, use the following installation guidelines:
Seal all cable entry holes with permagum sealing compound. Do not use expanding foam. 20355 2-32 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure If the customer stacks merchandise on top of the freezers, protect exposed RX antenna cables with metal conduit. Protect the RX antenna BNC cable connector from the freezer environment. Note: Maintain a minimum distance of 9.2 m (30 ft.) between each 1 W or 500 mW CBS's transmit and any receive antennas. Minimum distance for a 100 mW CBS's transmit and receive antennas is 6.1 m (20 ft.). To install an antenna in a freezer:
1. At the desired location, drill one (1) 16 mm (5/8 in.) hole for the antenna cable. 2. Route the antenna cable through the hole in the Freezer Gasket. 3. Place the Freezer Bracket over the Antenna and check the alignment of the assembled parts as follows. Note: The round and elongated mounting holes in the gasket and bracket are matched together. The antenna alignment guides are centered between the edges of the elongated hole in the gasket. The gasket does not extend past the edge of bracket on any side. Note: Proper alignment of gasket, antenna, and bracket is necessary to make a secure seal against the ceiling. 4. Route the antenna cable through the hole in the ceiling. 5. Raise the assembled parts up against the ceiling. 6. Using the Freezer Bracket as a template, drill two (2) 3 mm (0.125 in.) holes in the freezer ceiling for the mounting screws. 7. Use the two (2) self-tapping screws to secure the bracket to the ceiling. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-33 8. Connect the end of the Receive antenna cable to the CBS, then attach the Receive antenna pigtail to a Receive Antenna Cable. Connect the other end of the Receive antenna cable to the CBS. Note: Protect the RX antenna BNC cable connector from the freezer environment. Water condensation inside and dripping water from outside an unprotected BNC connector will trigger electrolytic corrosion that will eventually destroy the connector. Carefully choose freezer RX antenna locations so that the inline BNC cable connectors are in a room temperature environment outside the freezer wall. For conventional stand-alone freezers, use the 7730-K050-V003
"Kit - Rx Antenna w/18m cable" or 7730-K054-V003 "Kit - Rx Antenna w/15m Cable (for 100mW CBS)." These antennas have a 25cm (10inch) antenna lead. For large walk-in and oversized freezers with high ceilings, use the new long-lead 7730-K055-V002 "Kit - Rx antenna (6m lead) and 12m cable." These antennas have an extended 6m (20ft) antenna lead for better freezer routing, but they must be used with the corresponding shortened 12m (39ft) antenna cable for proper operation. In special situations, it is possible to seal the inline BNC connector from the freezer environment. See the detailed instructions below. 9. Use cable ties to secure the antenna cable. 10. Seal all cable entry holes with permagum sealing compound. Unsealed holes will cause icicles around entry holes and frost buildup on nearby product. If the inline BNC connector is not protected, condensation will drip down the antenna cable and trigger electrolytic corrosion inside the connector that will quickly destroy it. 2-34 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure To use permagum, roll a walnut-sized piece into a rope shape and push as much as possible into both ends of the cable entry hole. Permagum-type sealing compound looks like modeling clay and is commonly available from HVAC and electrical supply houses. One example is Virginia KMP brand sealing gum, catalog number PP-22V, from www.virginiakmp.com. If replacing an antenna or cable, re-seal the cable entry hole. New permagum is best, but existing permagum can be re-used, if necessary. DO NOT use any type of expanding foam sealant, for example Dow brand "GREAT STUFF" polyurethane foam or DAP brand DAPtex latex foam. NCR has found that these materials do not cure properly at freezer temperatures or in the presence of water condensation. Note: If the customer stacks merchandise on top of the freezers, protect exposed RX antenna cables with metal conduit. Customers sometimes showcase large items on top of freezer units. These items will damage exposed RX antenna cables. Protect cables with short lengths of metal or plastic electrical conduit. Use appropriate straps to keep the conduit in place. Special Instructions for Sealing Inline BNC Antenna Connectors That Must Be Located Inside Freezers This BNC sealing procedure is only recommended for the following situations:
If servicing a walk-in or oversized freezer that was installed before the previous guidelines were available If installing RealPrice infrastructure at a new site and long-lead RX antenna kit 7730-K055-V002 cannot be obtained in time to meet the installation schedule Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-35 Materials Required:
12in (30.5cm) length of CoaxSeal #105 hand-moldable plastic material (http://www.coax-seal.com). This material is available from Radio Shack and commercial electrical supply houses. 12in (30.5cm) length of black electrical tape, 3M Super 88 Scotch Brand Vinyl Electrical Tape or equivalent Procedure:
1. Connect the RX antenna to the RX cable inside the freezer. 2. Wrap the in-line connectors with electrical tape. The electrical tape allows the Coax-Seal material to come off cleanly in case of future servicing. 3. Wrap the connection with a 12in (30.5cm) length of Coax-Seal material. Wrap beyond the ends of the electrical tape in order to ensure a watertight seal. 4. Shape and form the Coax-Seal material to ensure a good seal. Note: Keep the electrical tape and Coax-Seal material warm inside a jacket as much as possible while working in the freezer. This keeps them flexible for better adhesion. Note: To prevent condensation from becoming trapped inside the cable connection, do not remove antennas or cables from the freezer once they have become cold. If they are removed, then keep them outside the freezer until all signs of condensation have evaporated before bringing them back in. 2-36 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure Hanging an Antenna from a Roof Truss Note: Maintain a minimum distance of 9.2 m (30 ft.) between a 1 W or 500 mW CBS's transmit and receive antennas. Minimum distance for a 100 mW CBS's transmit and receive antennas is 6.1 m (20 ft.). To hang an antenna from a roof truss (or other object) refer to the illustration on the following page and these instructions:
1. Screw the 0.61 m (2 ft.) threaded rod into the 1/4-20 UNC hole in the back of the antenna. Note: A 2 ft. threaded rod is supplied in the antenna kit. If the open ceiling installation requires a longer section of threaded rod, it is expected the requirement be pre-determined and the longer rod be supplied by the installer. 2. Secure the antenna cable to the threaded rod using three equally spaced cable ties. Note: Attach the 0.25 m (10 in.) Receive antenna pigtail to a Receive Antenna Cable before securing the cable to the threaded rod as shown in the illustration. 3. In the desired location, hold the antenna cable against a roof truss and lower the antenna to the desired height. 4. Use a cable tie to hang the antenna cable from the roof truss. Caution: Antenna cables must be secured to a roof truss as shown in the following illustration. Do not hang the antenna from a CBS's connector as the connector cannot withstand the weight of the threaded rod, cable, and antenna. 5. Connect the antenna cable to the CBS. Note: Always connect the RX cable to the CBS before connecting the cable to an RX antenna. 6. Use cable ties to secure the antenna cable.

IP allocation can be configured using Static IP Addressing or using a DHCP Server. Static IP addressing may be required for the following situations. For permanent assignment when you are not able to use the existing DHCP Server/DHCP Manager in your communication network For permanent assignment when you do not have a DHCP Server/DHCP Manager in your communication network and customer does not wish to have one For temporary assignment of IP addresses to test the RF infrastructure The decision is made during site survey interviews between the PS Project Manager and the customer. The IP addresses, subnet mask, and gateway address are provided by the customers IT support group. Refer to the Chapter 4: CBS Configuration in the RealPrice Software Guide (B005-0000-1479) for details about how to configure the IP addresses for the RealPrice CBS units. Verify Communication Links Use the following procedures to verify your communication links. 1. Power-up each CBS. 2. Verify that each CBS link status LED is lit. 3. Use the Ping utility to ping each CBS using its IP Address to verify connectivity. Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure 2-39 Note: If your network is using a Dynamic IP Addressing, use the ARP utility to display a list of the dynamically assigned IP Addresses. Refer to Chapter 4: Common Diagnostic Utilities in the RealPrice Utilities Guide (B005-0000-1487) for details on ARP. Cross reference the CBS MAC address to the CBS number assigned in the store layout to confirm all CBSs respond to the ping test. If reserved IP addresses were used, refer to that list to confirm all CBSs respond to the ping test. Document CBS Network Addressing Note the CBS Numbers, MAC Addresses, and CBS IP Addresses on the store layout for reference purposes. RealPrice Software Installation, Configuration, and Testing Installing RealPrice Software After the CBS hardware network is verified and you have documented the CBS network addressing information, the next steps are to install RealPrice Software, modify the RealPrice CBS Configuration file, and validate RealPrice System functionality. The following sections identify where to find details to accomplish these steps. Refer to Chapter 2: Installing RealPrice for Windows Software or Chapter 3: Installing RealPrice for AIX Software in the RealPrice Software Guide for details.

Chapter 3: Maintenance 3-15 Updating CBS's Firmware Image Firmware Bootloader Firmware Compatibility Firmware 3.4.0 is compatible with all currently existing hardware versions of CBS. However, some CBS hardware/firmware combinations are not supported due to compatibility issues. Following is a summary of these restrictions:
7730 CBS Hardware Release 3.0 3.1 original 3.2 revised 3.2 CBS Identification Serial number less than 31-36497717 Serial number greater than or equal to 31-
36407717 and service part number less than 497-
0435814 Service part number greater than or equal to 497-0435814 Compatible Firmware All versions 3.2.0 and higher 3.4.0 and higher Note: An exact serial number break-in point for the revised CBS hardware release 3.2 will be available at a future date. Firmware Downgradability Once a CBS is installed with firmware 3.2.0 or higher, it cannot be downgraded below firmware 3.2.0 except by returning it to the factory or by contacting NCR Level 4 support for special assistance. This is true regardless of the CBS hardware release. The ftpdl.exe utility reports an error and the CBS remains unaffected if downgrade is attempted. Note that firmware 3.2.0 does not support the TFTP bootloader feature. 3-16 Chapter 3: Maintenance Unlike the firmware 3.2.0, 3.4.0 CBS cannot be downgraded as low as the CBS hardware can allow in the previous chart. For example, the original hardware release 3.2 CBS can be downgraded from firmware 3.4.0 to 3.2.0. However, ftpdl.exe reports an error and the CBS remains unaffected if a revised hardware release 3.2 CBS is downgraded from firmware 3.4.0 to 3.2.0. If TFTP bootload feature is used to downgrade the firmware, the CBS ignores the bootload request and remains unaffected. Updating the Firmware Periodically updates may be required to add enhancements or correct problems in the CBS firmware. Upgrade all CBS firmware to the latest version available. The latest firmware release can be found at www.ncr.comSupport Drivers and PatchesRetail Support FilesRealPrice Support Files. Note: Check to make sure that the customer does not have a special firmware version requirement. Caution: Some customers may not allow firmware to be installed until it has been integration tested. The 7730 Firmware Management System Firmware Bootloader
(released with firmware version 3.3.4) facilitates firmware updates to the 7730 Communications Base Station (CBS). The Firmware Bootloader consists of software components that reside on both the RealPrice System Server and 7730 CBS units. Upgrading firmware from 3.2.x and earlier to 3.3.4 requires upgrading to firmware version 3.3.4 first using the method (ftpdl) described in the previous section Updating CBS's Firmware Image (ftpdl). The Firmware Bootloader supports:
Simultaneous firmware update to multiple CBS units CBS recovery following application block firmware corruption Diagnostic features to support flash update failure troubleshooting Chapter 3: Maintenance 3-17 The Firmware Bootloader provides a simple method for updating 7730 CBS firmware. The following steps outline the method for firmware update:
A CBS evaluates its firmware at boot time and determines if a firmware update is necessary. This determination is made by sending a TFTP request for the RealPrice boot file and comparing the internal firmware version of the CBS with the target firmware version information contained in the boot file. The CBS initiates the firmware update, if necessary, by making a TFTP request for the new firmware image. Upon completion of the file transfer, the CBS replaces its application firmware with the newly acquired firmware image. Finally, the boot firmware transfers control to the application firmware, and the CBS begins normal operation. Steps for completing firmware update 1. Configure the DHCP server, if using DHCP. This is an optional step. DHCP server configuration is discussed at the end of this section. 2. Customize the boot file, if necessary. Two files are required to accomplish a firmware update:
an application image, the binary image that contains the machine instructions for normal CBS operations. Application images are non-editable binary files and are at least 700K bytes in size. a boot file , an XML file that specifies rules and instructions for the firmware update. Note: A default boot file and application image is distributed with each firmware release. 3-18 Chapter 3: Maintenance Boot File Boot files are small, editable XML-formatted files of 1K bytes or less and contain the following information:
Update instructions indexed by CBS current firmware revision Application image filenames Application image revision information Boot files may contain wildcard information to select a group of target CBS units with similar characteristics. Boot files may stipulate a firmware upgrade to a newer revision or a downgrade to an older revision. The user may wish to modify the boot file to specify a different location for the firmware image or specify new rules for the update. The boot file may be modified with any basic text editor. A sample boot file is shown:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="dnbootloadconfig.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE rp7730 SYSTEM "dnbootloadconfig.dtd">
<rp7730>
<ImageFilename>rom334.bin</ImageFilename>
<ImageVersion>3.3.4</ImageVersion>
<TargetVersion>3.*.*</TargetVersion>
</rp7730>
ImageFilename is the file name of the firmware image to be used to upgrade the CBSs firmware level. ImageVersion is the new firmware revision level. Note: ImageFilename and ImageVersion versions must match for successful firmware upgrade as shown in the following example:
<ImageFilename>rom334.bin</ImageFilename>
<ImageVersion>3.3.4</ImageVersion>
... Chapter 3: Maintenance 3-19 The ImageFilename indicates that the firmware image is 3.3.4 and ImageVersion reflects the same version. TargetVersion is the firmware version that is targeted to be upgraded. Wild card characters can be used. 3. Place the boot file and firmware image in the dnet\firmware directory. 4. From a command prompt, type dnloadcbsfirmware. The following screen displays if successful. Note: dnloadcbsfirmware takes care of the stopping and starting RealPrice as well as flashing firmware. The process will take a few minutes. Please be patient while the entire process is carried out. 3-20 Chapter 3: Maintenance 5. If the firmware upgrade was unsuccessful, the following screen displays. The table below shows the possible errors while upgrading the CBS. Error Code Description 0 1 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 Success an unrecognized failure occurred No DHCP server responded to boot request The TFTP server address is unknown the TFTP server did not reply to request the TFTP server could not find the requested boot file critical information is missing from the boot file the TFTP server could not find the requested image file the new image file and boot file information Chapter 3: Maintenance 3-21 11 12 13 do not match the new image file sumcheck is bad the new image is incompatible with the hardware an error occurred while writing to flash memory Note: dnloadcbsfirmware attempts to upgrade the CBSs three times. If CBSs report failure to upgrade after all attempts, power cycle the target CBS units. The user may manually power cycle the CBSs or initiate a soft reboot. Manual Power Cycle To manually power cycle the units, unplug the CBS Power Supplies from the AC source. Reconnect each power supply starting with the power supply connected to the primary CBS. Continue reconnecting each power supply. Soft Reboot To initiate a soft reboot, from a command prompt, type dnCBSreset. It takes a few minutes to reset the CBSs and complete the firmware update. 6. Optionally, examine the target CBS units to confirm that the firmware update was successful. Use the utilities dnCBSFirmware and dnCBSDiags to confirm the success of the firmware update. dnCBSFirmware From a command line prompt, type dnCBSFirwmare to display the ARM version (firmware version level) for each CBS in the RealPrice system. If the firmware update has been successful, the DOS window displays all of the CBSs with the correct firmware level listed. 3-22 Chapter 3: Maintenance If the result of dnCBSFirmware shows different versions among the CBSs or no change to the firmware version, run dnCBSDiags to determine the error. dnCBSDiags From a command line prompt, type dnCBSDiags to view the diagnostics for each CBS. Review the Bootloader Status entry which reports the status of the Bootloader update process. 0 (success) indicates that the process has been successful. 7. Troubleshoot problems with the firmware update. Verify that the TFTP Server is installed and configured properly. See section NCR TFTP Configuration later in this chapter. Verify that the DHCP Server is configured properly. Verify that the boot file is correctly formatted and defines the correct file to use for the upgrade. Note: The process may need to be repeated to successfully update the firmware. Chapter 3: Maintenance 3-23 DHCP Server Configuration DHCP is optional and depends on how the RealPrice system is configured in a store environment. If the TFTP server is running on a different server than the RealPrice server or if a different TFTP server is used, DHCP needs to be configured. To configure the Windows NT 4 Server DHCP server to work with the NCR TFTP server, vendor specific information needs to be configured. 1. Open the DHCP Manager. 2. Select DHCP OptionsScope. 3-24 Chapter 3: Maintenance 3. Select 043 Vendor Specific Info and select Add to make it an active option. 4. Select Edit Array button. 5. Enter the following values in the Numeric Value Array Editor:
Value 99 5 153 Description Required Required First Octet for IP address of TFTP server Chapter 3: Maintenance 3-25 60 39 205 0 Second Octet for IP address of TFTP server Third Octet for IP address of TFTP server Fourth Octet for IP address of TFTP server Required 6. Select OK to save the values. Updating Firmware Before RealPrice Base Software Installed Under normal circumstances a user utilizes server components and diagnostic features released with RealPrice Base software package;
however, a firmware update may be accomplished before the base software is installed. The following limitations and restrictions apply:
A DHCP server must be configured to specify option 43 (Vendor Specific Info) as described in the previous section. A native TFTP server must be present. NCR TFTP Server ships and is installed with the RealPrice Base software package. No diagnostic capabilities are available to assist with troubleshooting. 3-26 Chapter 3: Maintenance To use DHCP as a means of initiating a firmware update, the CBS requires that a DHCP server specify a TFTP server name using option 43. The DHCP server must allow for specifying option 43 as an ASCII string representing the TFTP servers IP address in standard dotted decimal notation. See DHCP Server Configuration above. Using Static IP Addresses If CBSs are configured to work without a DHCP server (static IP addresses), each CBS uses the address of the RealPrice server as the TFTP server address. To use this alternate method, the CBS must already be aware of the RealPrice server. This can only be accomplished if the CBS first establishes a connection with the RealPrice server during normal operation and stores its address in non-volatile memory. At boot time, the CBS immediately goes to the application image and begins normal operation in the event that it cannot determine the TFTP server address. NCR TFTP Configuration When the RealPrice Base software is installed, the NCR TFTP Server is installed as a service configured to start automatically on reboot. If a different TFTP server is installed and used, the NCR TFTP service needs to be disabled. The 7730 Firmware Management System (Firmware Bootloader) uses NCRTFTPS to flash application image, the binary image that contains the machine instructions for normal CBS operations. The NCR TFTP Server can run as either a Windows NT service or an application. Chapter 3: Maintenance 3-27 Command Line Parameters The NCR TFTP Server does not normally provide an interactive user interface when running as a service. It is stopped and started like other NT services, controlled through the Services dialog box in the Control Panel. It may also be started from the command line. The NCR TFTP Server supports the following command line parameters (preceded by - or /):
? displays command line parameter help help displays additional product information 3-28 Chapter 3: Maintenance install installs the service remove removes the service status displays version information and service status start starts the service stop stops the service parameters displays/changes parameters If NCR Fit Client is installed, RealPrice overwrites the NCR TFTP server and increases the maximum number of sessions for TFTP server from default 20 to 40.

One transmit and up to four receive antennas may be attached to each CBS. Antennas are usually installed on the ceiling. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) A network communication protocol used to provide a cross reference between MAC addresses and IP addresses. Attachments Mounting devices used to attach ESLs to shelf rails. Base Runtime Software A software application for the RealPrice System that runs on the RealPrice Software Controller and is not dependent on the type of POS system used. The Base Runtime Software controls the core RealPrice functionality such as initialization of a ESL, display of price on an ESL, and diagnostics. CBS (Communication Base Station) CBSs receive and transmit data and control functions to the ESLs. Up to 40 CBSs can be installed in a store. One CBS is defined as the primary CBS and the others as secondary CBSs. CBSs are usually installed in the ceiling. A-2 Glossary CBS Power Supply This external AC/DC converter supplies DC power to a maximum of three CBSs. An additional CBS Power Supply is required for each additional group of three CBSs. Country Code Keys CBS parameters that identify the power level, number of frequency bands, and the operating frequencies specific to each CBS model. Coverage Area An area within a store where there is reliable RF communication between CBSs and ESLs. More than one CBS is required in a large store to attain adequate transmission reliability. E I ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) An ESL is the device attached to the store shelf that displays information for the customer. Install Mode A CBS operating mode where all CBS's communicate with ESLs using the odd numbered timeslots (1-23). This mode is used when running installation and test utilities; Initial Load, RF Certification, and dncalib, and is not intended for normal day-to-day operations. IP (Internet Protocol) IP Address An address format (xxx.xxx.xxx.x) used to communicate with devices or components in a network. The format includes network IDs, subnetwork IDs, and host IDs. ISP (In-Store Processor) The computer in the store that contains the price database used by the POS system. The ISP integrates PLU information into the RealPrice System. Glossary A-3 M N R S MAC (Medium Access Control) A communications protocol. The MAC protocol is used to provide the data link layer of an Ethernet LAN system. Normal Mode A CBS operating mode where each CBS communicates with its assigned ESLs using 2 of the 24 available timeslots, such as 1-13, 2-
14, 3-15, and so forth. This mode is used for normal day-to-day store operations to provide the minimum amount of communication air time resulting in the most efficient environment for co-existence with other RF devices in the store. RealPrice Database A MySQL database used to store information relative to all ESL management. RealPrice Software Controller This refers to the In-Store Processor (ISP) or a Dedicated PC (DPC). This is the computer physically connected to the primary CBS that sends price information from the PLU file to the RealPrice System for display on ESLs. RealPrice Standalone System A system that runs the RealPrice Software on a dedicated PC separate from the ISP. In this situation the DPC has a copy of the store data base and communicates with the ISP to receive maintenance (price update) data. RF (Radio Frequency) Store ID A unique number is assigned to each store and used by the RealPrice System to prevent unintentional transmission of signals between stores. A-4 Glossary T U Time Slot A unit of time assigned to each ESL during which a CBS transmits either a downlink message to an ESL, or receives acknowledgements (ACKs) back from an ESL. Each CBS is assigned 2 time slots. Uplink An uplink is an acknowledgment message (ACK) sent from an ESL to a CBS in response to a downlink burst.
