Step-by-Step Process

  1. Confirm you have an active internet connection

  • To check your internet connection: Open a web browser and sign into your account at go.skupos.com.   

  • Can’t access the website? Please contact your Internet Service Provider for further assistance.   

2. Check to see if your store is disconnected

  • Log into your Skupos Dashboard.

  • If your store is disconnected, you can tell by the numbers to the right.

  • In the example below 21 of the 22 stores are online.   

    • Or 1 store is offline.

If any of your sites are offline, keep reading this article.

3. Reboot your back-office Computer

  • Why? Sometimes, external factors can interrupt our software - a simple reboot can often bring our software back online.   

4. Verify Transaction Journal Exports (PJR Files) exist

  • I am only using Radiant Site Manager (RSM):

    • Open File Explorer and enter your Radiant Site Controller’s IP address in the address bar

      • Example: \\192.168.1.35

    • Open the "NAXMLExportFiles" folder

    • Verify that NAXML-POSJournal_Closed*.xml files exist

    • You might be prompted for a username and password, if so, enter the below:

      • Username: Obtain from your NCR support vendor

      • Password: Obtain from your NCR support vendor

  • I am using third-party back-office software:

    • Reach out to your third party back-office software provider to locate your transaction journal reports, or, alternatively, search C:\ for NAXML-POSJournal_Closed*.xml

    • If you see PJR files start to display in the search results, right-click on any PJR file and select "Open File Location"

  • What if I am unable to find NAXML-POSJournal files?

    • Contact your back-office software provider for assistance.

5. Open the Skupos Sync application and log in

  • Open the application by clicking on the Skupos Sync icon on your desktop or by searching for Skupos Sync in your taskbar.

  • Select the store that is disconnected

  • Choose NCR from the dropdown, and confirm that the IP address shown in Skupos Sync is the same IP address shown in the XML Gateway in File Explorer, which you identified in Step 3

    • What if I have a third-party back-office software?

      • Ignore the IP address and instead click on "Show Advanced Settings" and then select "Custom Outbox".

  • Navigate to the folder where the NAXML-POSJournal_Closed*.xml files are located

  • Click "Folder" and the "Save"

  • On the popup that appears, click "I Understand"

6. Finish reconnecting your store

  • After you successfully entered all of this information, a message will pop up that reads “You’re All Set!”

  • This means that you have reconnected your NCR to Skupos.
