Our KDS Setup is designed to keep it simple yet very solid. Our KDS Client is an enterprise-grade device that will work in all tough environments, however, you can also set up our KDS Software on an existing Windows OS.
The power port is where you will connect the Adapter
USB port is where you will connect our KDS Keyboard
Ethernet is where you will connect the LAN
DVI/VGA is where you will connect the LED
Power button to turn KDS on and off. When KDS Client is on its power light is GREEN.
In order to install a KDS Client, make sure you have all the required list of items:
A KDS Client
A KDS Adapter
DVI Cable
LAN Cable
KDS Keyboard
21″+ 1080 LED Screen
Note: Any LED with less than 1080 resolution will not perform properly for KDS and CDS. It’s mandatory to check if LED supports 1080. All modern 21″ LEDs are 1080. Also make sure it supports DVI, otherwise a DVI to HDMI converter will be required
First, connect KDS Client Adapter to its Power socket on the back side
Connect DVI Cable on the backside of the KDS client and 2nd Part of the DVI Cable to your LED screen
Connect the LAN cable to the backside of the KDS client and 2nd part to the Network Switch of the FoodBucket Appliance
Now, turn on the KDS and you will see the following screen:
Each KDS Screen has its Unique Machine ID. As soon as you connect it to the FoodBucket Network, you will see it on the top left of the KDS Screen, and the same Machine ID will also appear in KDS Manager. How to link it to a profile can be read here.
To find your machine in your KDS manager, follow the steps below:
Login to your admin area
Go to KDS from the Left Menu
Click on the Manager tab and there you will see your KDS Client with your Machine ID.
Click on the Edit icon to configure and Assign a profile
