Abstract
Techniques for configuring a point of sale (POS) system may include using an optical sensing module to read an identifier associated with a POS component and associating the POS component with a zone that is monitored by the optical sensing module, where the zone includes the POS system. In response to optically sensing the identifier, the system may automatically configure the component to function within the POS system.
