The POS Setup menu displays/defines parameters required for Simplify-POS communications and other POS-related parameters.  The contents of this menu vary depending on communications type. There are three versions, used for:
-	IP communications with Simplify as server (non-Pay@Table systems)
-	IP communications with Simplify as client (Pay@Table systems)
-	RS-232 communications or USB emulating RS-232

The appropriate menu for your system will be displayed, based on the setting of the parameter that controls the Simplify-POS communications type.
