Accessing Central Office in R.O. Writer

There are two places in R.O. Writer where you can access Central Office: Configuration and the main window.

Central Office in Configuration

If you are licensed for Central Office, you can always access Central Office in R.O. Writer Configuration by clicking File menu > Central Office Setup.

The Central Office Setup window that opens depends on the R.O. Writer license activated on the current machine:

NOTE: The setup windows in Configuration are intended for initial setup. After the initial setup is complete, you would open the setup windows only to troubleshoot daily transmission problems that could require a change to the configuration.

Central Office on the Main Window

You access Central Office on the main window to transmit data between the stores and the server.

After Central Office is configured, you can access Central Office on the main window one of two ways:

On Central Office Store Machines

Central Office is available on the main window of Central Office stores after the Set as Transmission Store button is clicked on the Central Office Client Setup Window on that machine.

On the Central Office Server Machine

Central Office is available on the main window of the Central Office server after the R.O. Writer license activation designates the current machine as the Central Office server.
