<p class="Help-Heading-2">Get Latest Firewall Updates</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Several major firewall applications are updated regularly
with the latest Point of Sale file and port information and will automatically
allow access to the ports and files needed. Use your firewall applications
instructions to be sure you have the most recent updates available before
installing Point of Sale and each time you install a <a href="helpandsupport19.htm">Point
of Sale update</a>.</p>

<p class="Help-Heading-2">Windows Integrated Firewall</p>
<p class="Help-Text">If you use the Windows integrated firewall, and it
is blocking access, Point of Sale will alert you on startup and offer
to automatically configure the firewall for you. It is strongly recommended
that you allow the automatic configuration.</p>

<p class="Help-Heading-2">Manually Configuring Firewalls</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Each firewall program presents its interface in a
slightly different manner; each provides its own phrase for asking what
you would like to do regarding the action it views as a possible threat.
You will see some form of the question, &quot;What do you want to do about
this?&quot; That question will be followed by a list of options, such
as allow, grant, deny, block, permit, or something similar, from which
you must choose an action.</p>
<p class="Help-Text"><font style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">You
should select the option to allow, grant or permit the action</font>.
There should not be a prompt the next time the same action is performed.
However, permitting one action for one file will not automatically enable
all actions from anywhere in the Point of Sale program. Several different
Point of Sale files perform actions that might be seen by your firewall
as an attempt to connect to the Internet. Permission must be granted separately
for each action.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">If firewall messages continue to appear, it may be
necessary to manually configure the firewall to allow access for the required
program files.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">If you need to manually configure your firewall application,
you should review the appropriate sections of the manual or help file
that was supplied with the firewall program.</p>
