Prerequisites
- Designate a single Till (Station) as the Reslink Server (usually the same machine as Smart Controller Server)
- Bepoz Server and the RDP Server must communicate via serial port
- Confirm that both servers have a DB9 Serial port and that there is a straight thru serial cable to connect the 2 units
- If using the hosted RDP solution (RDP in the cloud), the customer will need a dedicated RDP client machine that has this serial connection and works as a “client server” to connect to Bepoz via the serial connection
Procedure
System Configuration
1) Assign Static IP Address to the ResLink Server
2) Download DLL’s from Reslink_Files

- Regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx
- Regsvr32 tabctl32.ocx
64Bit System
5) Copy DLL’s to the ResLink Server machine’s SysWOW64 folder: C:\Windows\ SysWOW64
6) From the elevated command prompt, register DLL’s with the following commands
