INFORMATION SHEET 5.1-1
Types of Terminals

Dumb Terminals

There are various conflicting definitions of "dumb terminal" but as time goes by, more and more
terminals are called dumb. This document mainly covers text terminals which display only text on the
screen. It could have been titled "Dumb-Terminal-HOWTO". But in some magazines articles, any
terminal, no matter how smart, including ones which present a full graphical user interface (GUI), are
called dumb. If all terminals are "dumb" then there is no point of prefixing the word "dumb" to terminal
(except as a sales pitch to sell computers or the like instead of terminals). Due to the ambiguous
meaning of "dumb terminal" it is not classified here as a type of terminal.

Text Terminals

For a text terminal, a 2-way flow of information between the computer and the terminal takes place
over the cable that connects them together. This flow is in bytes (such as ASCII) where each byte is
an integer that usually represents a printable character. Bytes typed at the keyboard go to the host
computer and most bytes from the computer are displayed on the terminal screen. Special control
bytes (or sequences of bytes) from the computer tell the terminal where to move the cursor to, what
to erase, where to begin and end underlining and/or blinking and/or bold, etc. There are often
hundreds of such special coded commands and most real terminals can even change fonts. The
communication uses characters (letters) encoded using a code chart for the character set being used.
Usually, the first 128 bytes out of 256 possible bytes use ASCII codes. Terminals for Unix-like
systems, normally connect to computers via a cable running between the asynchronous serial ports
(RS-232-C = EIA-232-D) of the host computer and the terminal. Prior to about 2004, most new PCs
had serial ports, but today (2009) almost no new PCs come with serial ports. Sometimes the
connection is via modem or terminal server, etc.

Graphic GUI Capabilities of Text Terminals

While emulated text terminals don't display images, many real text terminals can display bit-mapped
images, but not in color. Unfortunately, the popular image formats used on the Internet are not
supported. Thus the display of images is seldom used. The protocols for terminal graphics include:
Tektronix Vector Graphics, ReGIS (DEC), Sixel (DEC), and NAPLPS (North American Presentation
Level Protocol Syntax). Even without bit-mapped images, ordinary text terminals can sort of display
images. One may form arrows <--- and draw boxes with |__|, etc. With special graphic character sets
that have a lot of special characters for line drawing, much more is possible. But even without a
graphic character set, one may produce "ascii graphics" art. The term "graphics terminal" usually
means a terminal that can display bit mapped images. However, this term is sometimes applied also
to text-only terminals since text is a limited form of graphics.

GRAPHICS GUI DISPLAYS

There are two basic types of graphics displays: raster and vector (rarely used). Raster graphics (bit-
mapped) puts dots on the screen by horizontal scan lines drawn by an electron beam (or by activating
pixels or dots on a flat screen). Vector graphic displays were intended to be used for monochrome
screens that don't have any dots. They use smart electronics to draw lines and curves with an
electron beam that can continuously move in any direction (just like a pen or pencil). True vector
graphics draws high quality lines without noticeable zig-zags but is both rare and expensive.

When you set up a terminal in Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail POS, you select a hardware profile
and a visual profile for the terminal. A hardware profile determines the physical configuration of a
terminal and a visual profile determines its screen characteristics.

You can assign the profiles either to a specific terminal or to a group of terminals. You can also
modify the profiles that are assigned to a terminal. Certain configuration changes do not take effect at
stores until the terminals in the store are restarted. In general, if you modify anything that affects the
POS terminal setup or configuration of one or more terminals, you must restart the affected terminal.

Before you set up terminals, complete the following prerequisites:

Create a store.
Create Retail POS functionality profiles and assign them to stores.
Create a hardware profile.
Create a visual profile.
Create a screen layout.

Use the following procedure to set up a terminal and assign profiles to it.

1. Click Retail > Setup > POS > POS registers.


2. In the POS registers list, on the Action Pane, in the New group, click Terminal to create a
new terminal.
3. In the POS registers form, on the General FastTab, in the Register number field, enter a
unique number for the terminal.
4. In the Reference field, select a store for the register.

INFORMATION SHEET 5.1-6
Change Fund

Change Fund Procedures

This section prescribes the policies and procedures relating to the establishment, administration, and
discontinuance of change funds.

Change funds are used for the operation of cash registers and drawers throughout campus, providing
change when needed.

The change fund custodian is the employee who has been authorized to increase/decrease the
change fund and who is directly responsible for the administration of the change fund.

Security of Change Funds

Policy
Deans/directors/chairs are responsible for the proper safeguarding of change fund monies entrusted
to their departments. Cash must be kept in a locked container, such as a fireproof file cabinet, safe, or
other suitable device to which unauthorized access is difficult.

The change fund custodian is personally responsible for the cash entrusted to him/her; therefore,
access to the fund must be limited to the custodian.

Establishing a Change Fund

Policy
The custodian is responsible for ensuring the cash on hand and receipts equal the authorized amount
of the fund at all times. To balance the fund, use the Petty Cash/Change Fund Reconciliation
form. Change funds must be kept separate from all other funds, such as petty cash, personal funds,
etc. These funds are subject to periodic audits.

Procedure
The department chair/director submits the following items to the manager of auxiliary funds and
banking operations for approval:

1. A memorandum justifying the need for a change fund and designating the fund custodian. This
should include the identification number and an original signature of the custodian.
2. A check request payable to the designated fund custodian in the amount requested. The check
request should include the department name and must be approved by the department
chair/director.
3. The department custodian will receive a check payable to himself/herself and the current
procedures. The check may be cashed at the Cashiers Office or, for larger amounts, at a local
bank.

Transferring Change Fund Custodianship

Policy
The department chair/director for which a change fund has been authorized is responsible for
ensuring Financial Services and Operations is informed of changes in change fund custodians.

Procedure

1. When a new custodian is to take charge of the change fund, the former custodian must count
and verify the fund is equal to the amount authorized, by filling out the Petty Cash/Change
Fund Reconciliation form. Likewise, the new custodian must also count and verify the fund
before he/she conducts any new transactions from these funds.
2. The department chair/director sends a memo to the manager of auxiliary funds and banking
operations that indicates the following:
o removal of the former custodian from the fund;
o the new fund custodian's name and identification number; and
o signature of the new custodian.

Increasing/Decreasing/Closing Change Funds

chair/director sends a memorandum to the manager of auxiliary funds and banking operations
justifying the increase. A check request in the amount of the requested increase and payable to the
fund custodian must be submitted .

Decreasing a change fundA change fund should be reduced if the amount of the fund exceeds
the actual needs of the department. The amount that is no longer needed should be deposited at the
Cashiers Office, crediting the original index with an account code of A001, along with a memo
indicating the fund is being decreased.

Closing a change fundWhen a change fund is no longer needed, the fund custodian should count
and verify the amount equal is the authorized amount. This amount must be deposited at the
Cashiers Office, crediting the original index with an account code of A001, indicating the fund is
being closed.

Balancing Register/Terminal

HOW TO BALANCE A CASH DRAWER

Balancing a cash register usually takes place at the end of the day or at the end of a cashier's shift. The cash
drawer and its contents should be taken to an office or other secluded area to prepare the report.

If balancing the drawer after closing, be sure the sales floor lights are off and the door is locked. For many
salespeople, they get in a hurry and tend to start closing before the store is actually closed. This is not a safe
practice. However, if you have multiple employees in the store, it's possible to close one of the registers during
open hours.

Any overages and or shortages should be investigated. Human nature should be taken into account for minor
errors and small amounts. By this we mean simple miscounts of change is common when processing a
transaction. However, frequent discrepancies could be sign of employee theft or may indicate further training is
required for a particular cashier. As a rule, you want to make sure that no more then $2 is off at night. While it
depends on the amount of transactions that day (in other words, the more transactions the greater the chance for
counting error) the $2 rule is a helpful one.

The starting cash on-hand is put back into the cash drawer and stored for the evening, while the deposit is
prepared for the bank. All credit card slips, terminal reports and other register receipts can be stapled to the
Daily Cash Drawer Report and filed by date.

SEPARATION OF DUTIES

For more accountability, consider using two people to balance the cash register. One person will count the
drawer and create the daily cash report, while the other person prepares a bank deposit. Both staff members
should sign the report indicating they are responsible for the figures shown. While no system can prevent fraud,
this audit trail will help discourage collusion among employees.

At the beginning of the next shift, each cashier should be assigned their own cash drawer. Have the cashier
recount the cash in the drawer to verify the beginning balance. If you are a small store with only one register,
the cash most likely stays in the drawer overnight. If this is your situation, the procedure is the same.

One last note, since human error is part of the game, make sure you are including discrepancies in your cash as
part of your P&L.

Add a line to your P&L that budgets for and shows loss from miscounting. This is another way you can audit
and manage the loss.

Clearing Register/Terminal

Lets start with a little quiz. I say, Big, bloated, and full of errors. What do you say? Right, Windows
Registry. One more: Messing with it is risky. If you guessed the registry again, you pass. While
fooling around with your Windows registry does involve some risk, cleaning it out can have a positive
impact on your PCs overall performance.

The Windows registry is a repository for a massive collection of details about your computerwhere
programs are stored, which helper programs (known as DLLs) are shared among your various
applications, listings of all your Start menu shortcuts, and pointers to the programs that fire up when
you click on an icon. And thats just the beginning. Practically everything you do in Windows is
recorded in the registry. For instance, the URL for this article probably has an entry now, somewhere.
The paths to the last dozen or so images or documents you opened are there, too, as are the details
of the programs you have installed or uninstalled.

Heres the problem: If you pry open the registry, youll find it about as cluttered as a teenagers
bedroom. Thats because Windows doesnt efficiently clean up after itself as it goes about its daily
business. It constantly creates new entries, but seldomif everremoves old entries after theyre no
longer needed.

Compounding this problem is the fact that applications are usually too inept to uninstall all of the
registry entries they create. Far too often, program updates and installers leave unneeded pointers in
the registry, so the registry becomes bloated with unnecessary entries, slowing down your system.

If you administer Terminal Services or Citrix MetaFrame, you know that locally cached user profiles can cause
a mess on your servers hard drive by chewing up valuable space. You must remove these profiles often in order
to prevent them from filling up your servers hard drive.

The easiest way to delete these files is by using Explorer. However, the easiest way isnt always the best. Using
Explorer for this cleanup job can actually create a host of new problems. In this case, the DELPROF utility is

your best bet for quickly and effectively cleaning up the mess caused by locally cached profiles.

In this Daily Feature, Ill show you what DELPROF is and how it works. But first, lets go over the problems
that can occur when you use Explorer for the cleaning task, instead of DELPROF.

Whats wrong with using Explorer?


When you use Windows Explorer to delete locally cached user profiles on Terminal Services servers, you only
delete the physical directory structure where the profiles are located. But profile information also exists in the
servers registry in several locations. By just deleting the profile directory, you dont delete the associated
entries and Security IDs (SIDs) in the registry. This presents a problem if you plan to use Folder Redirection in
Group Policy.

If youre using Folder Redirection and delete the profiles with Windows Explorer, the next time a user logs on,
Terminal Server will re-create the directory structure stored for the user. However, Terminal Server will then
check the registry and notice that the user has a profile with a SID already associated with it. Terminal Services
will assume the SID is valid, assume the group membership list is current, and wont apply Folder Redirection.
However, for some odd reason, Terminal Services will go ahead and apply the rest of the Group Policy.
Microsoft is considering supplying a possible fix for this oddity with the release of Service Pack 3 for Windows
2000.

Forcing a refresh of the Group Policy by using the Secedit command wont help fix the problem. The only thing
you can do at this point to force a change in Folder Redirection is to change the users group membership,
basically adding or removing the user from a security group in Active Directory Users and Computers. The end
result of using this deletion method is that you will not see the correct icons on the desktop or in the Start menu.
In some cases, My Documents and Application Data folders will also not map correctly.

Transporting Cash and Non-cash Documents

Purpose This procedure provides a series of cash handling practices for Victoria University of
Wellington (the University) to supplement and support the cash handling material contained within
the Treasury Statute issued by the Finance Policy Group.
The cash handling procedure focuses on preventing the mishandling or loss of cash, and situations
where charges of cash mishandling can be raised against University staff. It is intended that the
procedure will ensure consistency of cash handling practices amongst Schools and Central Service
Units.
2 Organisational Scope This is a University-wide procedure and shall apply to all University staff.
3 Definitions For purposes of this procedure, unless otherwise stated, the following definitions shall
apply:
Bank: The Kelburn Campus branch of the National Bank of New Zealand.
Cash: Encompasses all forms of payment accepted by the University, including; currency, cheques,
money-orders, and credit card and EFTPOS transactions.
Cash Collection Point:
Any area within a School or Central Service Unit which receives and/or handles cash on a regular
basis, and is approved by Finance as a designated cash collection point.
Cash Handling: Includes the receipt, storage, banking, and distribution of cash.
Casual Cash Collection:
Ad-hoc collection of cash by a School or Central Service Unit, outside of a cash collection point.
Includes the receipt of gifts, donations, grants, nonrecurring fees, and sales.
Currency: Notes and coins.
Staff: Any person with an employment agreement with the University, including an independent
contractor (being a person with a contract for services with the University); or an employee of a
separate organisation that is contracted to perform work on University premises.
Cash Handling Procedure Finance Policy
Victoria University of Wellington Page 2
4 Procedure Content and Guidelines
4.1 Cash Collection Points
4.1.1 Cash Collection Point Status
Cash collection point status:
(a) can only be assigned to a School or Central Service Unit by Finance; and
(b) will only be assigned where there is evidence that the applicant receives and/or handles cash on a
regular basis.
4.1.2 Cash Handling Staff Authorisation
(a) Cash may only be handled by a staff member after approval has been granted by another staff
member with the appropriate authority to do so, typically the Head of the School or Central Service
Unit.
(b) Written notice signed by the individual granting authorisation must be sent by Finance. The notice
will include the name of the staff member being granted authorisation to handle cash, their job title,
and the reasons for the handling of cash.
(c) The staff member delegated with the authority to handle cash shall provide a signed written notice
acknowledging their understanding of the Treasury Policy and of this procedure, and their obligation
to comply with it.
4.1.3 Changes in Cash Handling Staff
If a staff member authorised to handle cash no longer requires that authorisation, the onus is on the
School or Central Service Unit to update their own records and send written notice of the change to
Finance. This includes circumstances where the staff member leaves their position in the cash
collection point for another position in the University, or leaves the University.
4.1.4 Equipping a Cash Collection Point

A cash collection point will require equipment for the receipting, secure storage, and subsequent
banking of cash, as well as staff safety. Note that the equipment required will depend on the nature
and volume of transactions that a cash collection point will be processing, and that the cash collection
point is required to agree equipment requirements with Finance. The potential equipment items that a
cash collection point may require are:
(a) Receipting Cash
(i) Cash register or cash drawer with a lock to restrict access to staff authorised to handle cash for the
intra-day secure storage of cash;
(ii) EFTPOS terminal for the processing of EFTPOS and credit card transactions; and
(iii) Computer terminal and relevant software for the timely processing of customer transactions.
(b) Secure Storage of Cash
(i) Safe or similar storage unit for the overnight secure storage of cash.
(c) Banking of Cash
(i) Bank deposit book;
(ii) Bank deposit bags; and
Cash Handling Procedure Finance Policy
Victoria University of Wellington Page 3
(iii) Unmarked bags for the transport of cash to the Payments Team or the Bank.
(d) Safety of Staff
(i) Easily accessible panic button, monitored by Campus Care; and
(ii) Cashier-cage or counter-screen.
4.2 Safekeeping of Cash
4.2.1 Storage of Cash
(a) During business hours all cash should be securely stored in a locked cash register, cash drawer,
or similar, with access restricted to authorised cash handling staff.
(b) For staff security, during business hours the amount of cash securely stored in a locked cash
register, cash drawer, or similar, should be monitored. Where necessary cash should be transferred
into a safe or similar for secure storage.
(c) Outside of business hours, all cash should be securely stored in a safe or similar, away from
where cash is typically handled. Cash should not be stored in an obvious place, such as in a locked
cash tin on the cashier counter.
4.2.2 Safe Combinations
(a) Combinations for all safes used by the University must be recorded by Finance. Finance will also
communicate the safe combination to the Bank. The onus is on the Schools and Central Service

(c) The safe combination should be changed whenever someone with knowledge of the safe
combination leaves their position in the cash collection point for another position in the University, or
leaves the University.
4.3 Staff Security
4.3.1 Safety of Staff
Each cash collection point should consider staff safety issues. Threats to staff safety may include
collection of an unusually high amount of cash in a short period, or the presence of a threatening
individual or group. The points that should be considered by each cash collection point for inclusion
into their formal procedures are:
(a) The cash collection point should have a formal procedure for the training of cash handling staff,
with particular attention paid to dealing with aggressive or threatening customers.
(b) The set-up of the cash collection point should be appropriate to the nature and volume of
transactions.
(c) The relationship between the cash collection point and Campus Care should reflect the level of
security that may be required.

(a) must exercise due care to ensure that an EFTPOS transaction has been successful by checking
its accepted status. If the status is declined the transaction has not been successful and the goods
or service in question should not be provided, and no receipt should be issued
(b) must not provide EFTPOS cash-out service, as this indicates that there are excess funds on the
premises and may pose a security risk.
4.4.8 Cheques
Authorised cash handlers must exercise due care to ensure as far as possible that a cheque:

cash balance (referred to as a cash surplus or cash shortage); and
Cash Handling Procedure Finance Policy
Victoria University of Wellington Page 6
(vii) an explanation of any difference between the physical cash balance against the system cash
balance.
4.5.3 Cash Surpluses or Shortages
(a) As a result of the daily record keeping, a cash surplus or shortage may be identified. If so, the
following procedures must be followed by the manager of the cash collection point:
(i) disclose the amount and reason for the cash surplus to Finance and deposit the surplus with the
Payments Team for safekeeping;
(ii) disclose the amount and reason for the cash shortage to Finance; and
(iii) disclose the details of any attempts that have been made to recover the cash to Finance. This is
especially relevant in circumstances where a customer can be identified as having short-paid.
(b) In the event of a difference between the physical cash balance and the system cash balance, the
cash collection point should determine whether it is indicative of any material weakness in their cash
handling procedures. If so, the procedure should be amended to eliminate the weakness.
4.5.4 Misappropriation, Theft, or Loss of Cash
(a) A manager of a cash collection point should disclose details of any misappropriation, theft, or loss
of cash to Finance immediately.
(b) If appropriate Finance should inform Campus Care of the misappropriation, theft, or loss of cash
immediately, and will coordinate an investigation of the incident.
(c) The manager of the cash collection point must follow relevant University disciplinary procedures if
staff are involved in a misappropriation, theft, or loss of cash. This would involve consultation with
Human Resources.
(d) In the event of a misappropriation, theft, or loss of cash, the cash collection point should

procedures of the cash collection point. Cumulative receipts and minimum frequency of deposit
directly to the Bank or via the Payments Team are:
(i) Up to $499 within 5 business days;
(ii) $500 to $2,999 within 3 business days;
(iii) $3,000 to $4,999 within 2 working days;
(iv) $5,000 to $19,999 within 1 working day;
(v) $20,000 to $49,999 during that day; and
(vi) $50,000 or greater immediately.
4.6.5 Transportation of Cash
Care and caution must be exercised when cash deposits are being transported to or from the
Payments Team or the Bank.
(a) Transportation of deposits should not conform to any regular time. Wherever possible such
transportation should be irregular, subject to change without notice, and specific details should only
be known by a select few.
(b) Deposits containing cheques, EFTPOS, and credit card transactions may be sent to the Payments
Team via the University internal mail system.
(c) Deposits containing currency should never be sent to the Payments Team via the University
internal-mail system.

Cash and Non-cash Transactions

Cash Transaction

Settling a trade using the cash transaction method differs from settling a contract on the settlement
date, which in some cases involves agreeing on a price on the trade date but transferring payment on
some date in the future (known as the settlement date). A cash transaction requires all aspects of a
