Configuration of Hardware Station
Hardware Station - Certification Process
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:

Hardware Station - Certification Process
This chapter only applies to Type-C, Infrasec option.

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.
