PROOF OF DELIVERY (P.O.D.)
1. This admin bulletin has been released to introduce the P.O.D. solution that is offered by EDP.
2. DESCRIPTION
P.O.D.
is a method by which a delivery note (DN), which has been signed by the recipient, can be
copied
by means of a scanner onto a PC running Windows on DOS, and then called up at any time,
should
the need arise, to prove that goods have been signed for.

5.1. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION/CONFIGURATION
The
NCR3348 PC is a mini-tower PC consisting of a base-board containing the Pentium processor,
6
memory
simms, 3 PCI slots (1 shared), 5 EISA/ISA slots (1 shared). Also contained on the
base-board
is
the SVGA controller with 1MB of RAM, 256k cache, and both a PCI and ISA IDE on-board
controller.
A 250
watt psu supplies all power requirements.
The
drive bay; containing the 4mm DAT, Optical drive, floppy disk drive and 4.3GB hard disk
drive; can
be
removed as one whole unit. Remove the system covers, the front bezel by pressing the
release
tabs,
one locating screw on top of the drive bay and push in the locating tabs on either side
and
withdraw
the unit to the front of the system.
5.2. OPTICAL DRIVE
This
is a 1.5GB optical drive and can be used as a WORM or optical drive depending on the type
of CD
caddy
loaded at that time.
Switches should be set as follows:-
1, 4, 5, 8 off. All others are on.
This gives a SCSI ID 6.
5.3. 4MM DAT DRIVE
The
jumpers to the rear of the unit should all be removed. Switches are then used to set up
the drive
as
follows:-
3, 4 on. All others are off.
This gives a SCSI ID 4.
5.4 CONNER 4GB HARD DISK
This
device should be termintated with 2 x SIL resistor packs and with jumper E8 installed.
Jumpers E1,
E2,
E3 select the SCSI ID and these should be removed. No other jumpers should be installed.
This
gives
a SCSI ID 0.
5.5. FAX/MODEM CARD MT2834zpxi (ISA)
As
this is an ISA device one must configure the required interupt and I/O address before
installing the
PCB.
Jumper 13 IN
__ __ __ __ __ __
F E 3 2
This sets the boards IRQ to 3.
5.6. XIONIC SCANNER INTERFACE
This is an ISA pcb and as such needs jumpers/switches setting before installing into the system.
Switches 1, 4, 5, 6 ON.
This sets the I/O address to 2C0-2C7.
5.7. AHA ADEPTEC SCSI DRIVER
This
is a PCI board and as such requires no switches/jumpers to be set. The IRQ will be
automatically
assigned
to 9 by the system BIOS.
5.8. BIOS F2 SETUPS
Pressing
F2 on power up enables access to the BIOS settings. Take all default settings except that
you
must disable the COM2 port.
5.9. SCSI SELECT UTILITY
Pressing CTRL+A on power up enables access to the SCSI Select Utility. Take all defaults.
