  • Page 32: Communication

    This was discussed briefly in the section under “REGISTER SELECT” and will be fully explained here. When you choose your register type under the REGISTER SELECT menu, this automatically formats the RegCom-Pro to the appropriate settings needed to communicate with your register. There may be times when you will need to amend these settings for a specific register.

  • Page 33: Register Settings

    The “Register Settings” selects and allows you to program the communication and protocol parameters used to communicate with the POS or Cash Register using the DB9 connector. The “Network Settings” selects and allows you to program the communication and protocol parameters used to network the RegCom-Pro to other units using the RJ45 connector.

  • Page 34: Tx Protocol

    ASCII mode simulates the function of the VSI-Pro previous versions and utilizes the same pinout connection. When using the RegCom-Pro in the Master mode this TX line is used to output the data in the VSI-ADD protocol to be compatible with the Hydra output to DVRs.

  • Page 35: Auto Linefeed

    The “OUTPUT” RS-232 data with the selected format is sent out the DB9 TXD Pin 3 for RS-232. In the RS-232 mode you can still use the RegCom-Pro to interface to a POS or Cash Register but only in the tap mode using the DB9 RXD Pin 2 only to recieve the data.

    This demonstration simulates transaction data from a register. This is used to demonstrate the RegCom-Pro’s capabilities with just a monitor and camera without having a register hooked up. When the demo mode is active the RegCom-Pro thinks the data is actually coming from a real register. You can use this demo data to configure exceptions and alarms to be fully functional for a complete customer demonstration.

  • Page 68 RegCom-Pro is able to lock to this low signal. If the text jitters or is skewed then a video amplifier must be placed in line with the RegCom-Pro to bring the signal up to at least .5V P-P so the AGC circuitry can adjust to the proper output level.
