Return to the Sierra Management application, refresh the Set-up/Devices page and enter the desired
name for each Wash Select II. Select and download the appropriate configuration profile for the Wash
Select II as performed in Section 3.5. Repeat for any other Wash Select II units to be added to the
system.

3.7 Setting the Cash Report Baseline

To use the Cash Report on the new server, all devices will need to have an initial cash adjustment
performed. For paynodes, this is accomplished by swiping the Cash Adjustment card provided at
each paynode. The resulting adjustment may show “strange” numbers, and should be ignored.

The WSII should also have an initial set of remove and add adjustments performed. To run a WSII
adjustment, setup a Cash Reconcile Passcode/Passcard, perform both bill and coin removals, and
run an “add” of the initial coin change.

4 Enabling Automatic Database Back Up

As a failure of the Sierra site controller could cause critical data to be lost, Unitec strongly
recommends that all site controllers be set up for automated (daily) database backups. The
thumbdrive that was supplied with the update programs can be used for the backup device. This
thumbdrive should be connected to the USB port of the server (Note: the USB extension cable
included in the upgrade kit will be required when the server is mounted in a NEMA enclosure).

With the thumbdrive in place, enable automated backups by selecting the Utilities tab on the Sierra
Management Application, then Database in the left frame. Select the Edit Automatic Backup Settings
function to access the set up page. Enable the function, select the drive location (thumbdrive) and set
the desired time of day for the back up to run. (Note: The server will be unavailable for payment
processing or other functions while performing backups. Therefore, this function should be scheduled
to run when the site is closed or most likely to be idle).
