Virtual Key Lock

You can use the Virtual Key Lock to emulate the usage of an Authentication device of the type Key Lock.

The Virtual Key Lock device is at the top of the Virtual Station in the middle.

Click here for instructions on how to install, configure the devices, and start the Virtual Station.
To be able to use virtual devices in the POS, you must add them to the Hardware Profile through the Detect Hardware operation.
The same configurations are needed in the POS Authentication Device card as for an actual device.
Note: The Virtual Key Lock device can be used in two different ways:
  • As a login device - similar to an Authentication device and a Dallas Key device where the device sends in an ID that needs to be mapped to a user through the MSR Staff link configurations. To emulate this functionality, set the Key Lock control to be Electronic Key Value, enter the ID, and click the Send button.
  • As a Key lock device that uses the OPOS key lock values: Lock, Normal, and Super. To emulate this functionality, select the value that should be sent to the POS in the selection box, and click the Send button.
