RetailEdge Point of Sale Software Networks

Setting up RetailEdge on a network is easy. RetailEdge has no limits to the number of workstations that can be installed on a network. If you want to see how RetailEdge runs on a network, you should download a copy of the demo. The demo is set to allow two users to run the program simultaneously on a network.

The four steps to setting up RetailEdge on the network are listed below.

1. Have your Windows network setup and confirm that the two computers are communicating with each other.

2. Install RetailEdge (from the original installation CD) on the secondary machine

3. On the second machine you should choose Options from the Tools menu and press on the Network tab. On the network tab set the:

Data Folder to the data directory on the primary register. You can use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) to specify this directory. For instance, if the data is on a in the Program Files\RetailEdge 7.5\Data directory on a computer called Register, the data directory can be specified as \\Register\C\Program Files\RetailEdge 7.5\Data. You can change this, however, we strongly recommend that you keep your RetailEdge data on the primary register, so that if your network goes down you can still ring in sales. Note: If you are using Windows XP you will have to copy the Data folder on the machine where the data resides to some other folder than the Program Files folder. You will then be able to share the data for your additional workstations.

Network Folder to the same Network folder at the primary machine. You can also use the UNC.

Unique Register ID and Name.

4. Then press OK. Check your inventory and customer files to make sure that you are viewing the data on the main register.
