Configuration of Hardware Station

Hardware Station - Certification Process

Hardware Profile for the POS

Type A - the COM port

You must set up the Hardware Station for LS Central for both setup options, Type A and Type C.

Included with LS Central SE fiscalization is a dll file, LsSweFiscalDevice.dll.

In the Hardware Station, a serial device needs to be set up for Type A and C, and the dll file is then linked to the device. This serial device is then connected to the hardware profile that is set up for the POS.

Note: The Hardware Station serial device must be set up for both options, A and C, since it connects with the dll that is part of the Swedish fiscalization.

For more information about Hardware Station for LS Central and how to set up a serial device, see the LS Central Help.

Configuration of Hardware Station

To configure the LS Hardware Station for the Swedish Fiscalization, SweFiscal, the following needs to be done:

  1. Install the Hardware Station.
  2. Copy the LsSweFiscalDevice.dll file to:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\LS Retail\LSHardwareStation\Devices\OPOS

  3. Start or restart the LS Hardware Station Service.
  4. Have the Startup Type as automatic.

Note: It is important that the Hardware Station Service is restarted after the dll is copied into its folder, and before the serial device is created.

Hardware Station - Certification Process

This chapter only applies to Type-C, Infrasec option.

  • You can download this certification file from Infrasec.

What you do:

  1. Copy the general certification file from Infrasec to the machine where the Hardware Station is running.

    Note: This is not the same certification file you upload for the terminal; this is a general one.

  2. Double-click the file to run it.
  3. Select Install Certificate.

  4. You are now in the Certificate Import Wizard.

Hardware Profile for the POS

  • The next step is to connect the new serial device to the POS hardware profile.

    Note: Make sure the ID is the same as the one you created in the Hardware Station.

Type A - the COM port

For Type A, you have the e-Tax Control unit that needs to be plugged into the PC where the Hardware Station is running.

This control unit is connected to a USB port on the machine, but the Hardware Station converts this for a serial device.

Before you start, be sure to check in your computer's Device Manager which serial port you are using for your device.
