The SYSPRO.8.Point.of.sale.enet.Communications.config.exe file is located in the folder to which you installed the service.

You can view monitoring and troubleshooting messages about this service using the Event Viewer function in Windows:

You can start, stop, restart and configure this service using the Services function in Windows:

Referencing

You should only edit this file for debugging purposes.

Don't use this as a method to update values for the service. This is because a wizard installation updates the system registry, which is what is read when using the service. A fresh installation overwrites these values, which may cause problems when you next run the service.
