After installation of the latest version of Logic Controls(See Below), launching the program will move to the main screen. Copy this link into your browser > www.logiccontrols.com/KDS/KDS_Manager/Setup_KDS_3.1.0.2.zip
There will be a short wizard to install.
Setting up the system will begin in the upper control bar.
Click on the Sys Setting icon.
To pull the XML from the right place, choose Files from the Order Source and browse for the correct folder. For NSOE it will be Program Files>Custom Business Solutions> NorthStar Order Entry>Kitchen Output.
After setting up the correct Order Source to eat the files from, configure the Stations/Kitchen monitors by setting IP addresses.
Under the settings tab, on the left, there are available LS# stations. These stations will later align directly with the external code. LS#1 will be entered as External Code (1). LS#2 >External Code(2) and so on.
Double click on the LS# station on the left. This will prompt the Setting pop up. From here, all setting configurations are available per station and bump bar.
In the IP and Screen Mode, the IP will need to correspond to the LS unit. The Expediter function on the right will send all items from other stations to this stations and act as an Expo screen. If using this function, there does not need to be a designated station in Order Entry. Can start putting external codes in as (2), (3), (4). Because (1) is designated as an Expediter station in Logic Controls.
In the Main Screen Property tab of the station settings pop up, set up the screen titles and panel display mode.
In the Bump Bar Key Assignment tab on the right, choose the appropriate bump bar set up. In this case it is Option D. These will correspond to the keys on the bar and what functions to assign to it. Clicking on the KEY SET option on the Bump key, will allow choosing what function corresponds to the key.
Once all these are set, make sure to Run the program on the top left of the Software.
To mimic a Logic Controls database, with everything set up in this Document to standardize multiple stores/location, copy(and drop in) these highlighted files in the Logic Controls KDS folder.
On the ECM side, there needs to be a kitchen setup in site settings. This is under the site edit > system settings. Then use the drop down tab to toggle to kitchen.
From here, "LogicControls" need to be set in the value of the Kitchen Management Engine.
There are external codes that need to be associated with the Location/Station in the Area of a Site.
Having a Designated Kitchen Area works well. Then in the Edit screen of the Kitchen Area, add the Kitchen Locations/Stations
Within the Edit screen of each location, the External Code corresponds to the LS# Station built in Logic Controls.
Note: Make sure the Location Type is set to Kitchen
