Installation using the SecuTix Kit
New kit and Device manager
SecuTix's Firefox kit contains a new way to manage communication between your cash registers and peripherals - printers, payment terminals and cash drawers. The Device Manager application installed in conjunction with Firefox now handles the control of the cash register devices, replacing applets that will no longer be used in the future.vagaries
The installation program installs a so-called "portable" version of Firefox ESR and Java. The installed versions contain some predefined settings to avoid errors due to external variables (e.g. website of the digital certificate provider not reachable, ...).
If you have any problems, please contact our support team.
Here are the steps to install the new kit (it is not necessary to uninstall the previous version of the kit):
- Installer
Download the last installation of the SecuTix Kit from this page : SecuTix Firefox Kit Versions and Changelog - Launch
Start the installation program (you will be asked for administrator rights) - Language
Select the language of the software - Type of installation
Select the type of installation:- Single user installation installs the software in the user's profile (p.ex. C:\users\<utilisateur>\secutix)
The installation for all users installs the software in the standard software installation directory (p.ex. C:\Program Files(x86)\secutix)
- Installation folder
If necessary, adjust the installation folder of the software - Shortcuts
Unselect the necessary options if you do not want certain icons to be created.
In the case of a shared installation between different users of the same computer, an "icon installation" program is available in the "Start" menu of the other users to install the icons visible in the taskbar.
Activating the Device Manager
Once the installation has been completed, please follow these instructions to activate the Device Manager in your workstation: How do I set up my workstation to communicate with the hardware on the new version of SecuTix?
Antivirus and firewall
Your antivirus/firewall (such as Sophos for example) may not let the browser and the Device Manager/Model Editor communicate with each other.
Communication is done from the browser to the Device Manager --> 127.0.0.1, ports 8555 et le port (entre 15700 et 15799) indicated in the first line of this url (please replace the [INST_CODE] with your institution code): https://[INST_CODE].pos.secutix.com/tnapplets/applet-properties/devicedrivers-agent.properties
The communication is done from the browser to the template editor --> 127.0.0.1, ports between 10050 et 10054
If you have any problems, please contact our support team.
De-installation
An uninstaller is available in the control panel for the Firefox SecuTix kit and a second one for the Device Manager.
When uninstalling the SecuTix kit (in order to use a previous version), it is recommended to check the box presented when uninstalling the kit. This avoids incompatibilities due to the reverting to a previous version of Firefox and Java.
