The Aloha system allows you to connect up to eight terminals to a single Berg beer tap unit. You can assign each button on the Berg tap to a specific item number for ordering on a specific terminal. For example, button on a tap can order a beer on terminal one, button two on the same tap can order a beer on terminal two, and so on. The message travels via the Berg 'Fan-Out' box to all connected Aloha FOH terminals. The terminal with the matching ID number accepts the message and reacts, while the remaining terminals ignore the message.

You can enable this ability by configuring the item number programmed into the Berg unit to include both the terminal ID number and the item ID number. Assign each button on a beer tap to a number based on the terminal on which the order is to appear, coupled with the item ID number to which it coincides. For example, if you want button number four to pour a beer, item 123, and order it on terminal number one, (as defined with the MULTILIQUORTAPTERM variable, discussed below), assign the string 1123 to button number four on the tap. To order the same item on terminal number two, assign the string 2123 to a suitable button.
