Installing a new
Server?
You
must employ the services of a qualified Hardware and systems administrator.
We
cannot assist in the setup and installation of Servers remotely, without the
presence & co-operation of a qualified IT person on site.
Hardware
Provisioning
Peach Software does
not sell or support hardware so it is important that you choose a reliable
Hardware supplier who offers on site warrantee and some after-hours support.
Things such as printers, scanners and hardware configurations should all be
referred to your local IT professional.

Network:
It’s recommended that your network
cabling and workstations are less than 5 Years old and windows based
Backups:
You will require 2
x 4 GB Thumb drives which will be rotated each day and some sort of other off
site backup device that you can archive onto each month in an uncompressed
format
Printers:
Peach works best
with Laser Printers for reports, invoices, statements etc.
For Cash Receipt
Dockets you require a receipt printer & Driver with the capability to open
a cash drawer. All printers should be USB type. If you currently have Laser
Printers and Docket Printers then please list them with model numbers etc so that we can check for compatibility.
NOTE: In Multi Branch
scenarios IP printers should be used to ensure speed and stability.
Due to their complexities
and variations we cannot support Multifunction Centers & multi Drawer
printers. If you have one or want to purchase one then it may or may not
function correctly with Peach Software. Your local IT person will be
responsible for this to function with Peach Software.
Label
Printing:
If you require
Shelf, Carton or Product Labels, for this you will need a ZEBRA 2844 or GK420T
thermal label printer. (Check Label type incase a ribbon printer is required)
If you have a label printer currently then advise us the
model & Brand so we can check suitability.
Barcode
Scanners:
Wedge type hand
scanners are required. Your hardware supplier should be able to find these
easily for you. If you have scanners already please locate the instructions in
preparation for the Peach Technician in case they require any programming.
Remote
Assistance and access:
Peach requires on
demand access to the server and will set this up during the installation. Your
server will need a permanent broadband internet connection for this purpose.
Network
& Hardware setup:
Your hardware, Network,
Printers and Internet connection should be set up and tested by a certified
person prior to Peach Software starting the installation. In particular the
Network cables should be CAT 5 or better and checked to comply with Australian
Standards. Should your hardware supplier or installer have any questions then
please feel free to give them our direct number so that we can discuss with
them directly.
Branch
Installations:
A Router to Router
V.P.N. must be set up between all sites so that printers (Must be IP
Printers) can be permanently mapped from each branch back to the
server. This is the only suitable solution for trouble free printing. The
V.P.N. will need to be set up by a qualified IT professional.
