Multiple Prompts

This check box indicates if multiple prompts are allowed.

Prompts Required

This check box indicates if the terminal requires prompts.

Inactivity Time

The inactivity time indicates how many seconds the terminal will allow inactivity before returning to the main form.

Offline Response Time

When the terminal is offline and a transaction is performed, this value is the length of time in seconds that the terminal will display a message to the user indicating the transaction has been submitted ("Data Saved in Offline File").

Valid values are 0.1 up to 10 seconds.

If your terminal beeps when displaying a message, the length of the Offline Response Time will affect the length or number of beeps you hear. For example, if your terminal normally transmits three beeps with an error message and you decrease the offline Response Time to 0.1 (1/10 of a second), you will only hear one beep with an error message.

Note: The duration of the local offline validation error is always 3 seconds; this value is not configurable. The local offline validation error appears when the OFFLINE_PERSON_AUTHENTICATION Setting Type is enabled in the terminal's profile. See Offline Person Validation for more information.

Check Online Time

The check online time value represents in seconds how often the system will attempt to connect to the server. This value is used when the terminal is online. When the terminal is offline, however, the system will attempt to connect to the server ten times faster than when it is online. For example, if the value is 60, and the terminal is offline, the system will check that there is a connection every 6 seconds (60/10).

The Terminal Type’s Check Online Time setting will be overridden by the Terminal Profile settings OFFLINE_CHECK_ONLINE_TIME and ONLINE_CHECK_ONLINE_TIME.

Clock Format

The appearance of the formats depends upon the Locale (see System Settings). These are the formats that you will see for the Locale en_us (U.S. English). The options are Short, Medium, Full, or Long.

For example, Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009, 3 o'clock, 16 minutes and 47 seconds in the afternoon would appear as:
