Press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor
to "TCPIP" and press "Generic". In this mode is
simply no filtering of the input data and will display
any printable character in the video. If you are not
sure of what you are connecting to this is the first
selection so you will see everything and then later
choose the options you want to better filter the
display to your liking.
1. Press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the
cursor to "TCPIP" and press "Set" to enter and
change the IP address to the same as the IP
address you wish to monitor.
EXAMPLE: If the IP address is 192.168.0.141, set
the address on the TCPIP 232 Adapter using this
menu.

2. Press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the
cursor to "Download Configuration" and press "Set"
to execute. Make sure a TCPIP232 Adapter is
connected and the VSI-Pro will download the IP
settings to this device.

3. Press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the
cursor to "EXIT" and press "Set" to return to the
previous menu.
Refer to Appendix I for additional information on the
TCPIP232 Adapter or the manual included with the
adapter.
NOTE: The TCPIP232 Adapter can be programmed
by this method or by using a standard PC with a
serial cable along with the AVE IP setting software.
Refer to the TCIP232 Adpater Manual for doing this.
Once you have set the IP address of the TCPIP232
Adapter you will be in the "Generic" display mode.
You may select another register driver to format this
display. When you do this the VSI-Pro loads the
default register baudrate as if a direct connection to
the register so make sure you set the proper
baudrate as described below.
The TCPIP232 Adpater communicates with the VSI-
Pro via RS-232 at a baudrate of 19.2K. Therefore
when you select this menu option the baudrate of the
VSI-Pro is changed to this rate so communication for
downloading the configuration can occur. When
using the TCPIP232 adpater with other register
drivers or data dump mode make sure you change
the RXD baudrate to 19.2K so the VSI-Pro Max will
communicate.
TCP/IP Limitations
The TCPIP232 Adapter can monitor any Ethernet
LAN either 10MBs or 100MB/s. However the actual
long term throughput of the adpater is limited to
5MB/s. This is more than enough for network printers
for cash receipts, bar code scanners or single cash
registers that operate in a "Live Mode". Live Mode
means the register transmitts the data on the net-
work line by line or at the end of each transaction.
Some cash registers have large local built in memo-
ries for thousands of items and then only batch
multiple transactions on the network at any given
time or controlled by the server. Cash Registers
utilizing this kind of batch processing are not suitable
for security monitoring. Other devices that output
large amounts of data will overrun the buffers of
either the TCPIP232 Adapter or VSI-Pro Max and
data will be lost and would not be suitable for secu-
rity monitoring anyway.
The VSI-Pro Max has a set of powerful data dump
modes that compatible with the TCPIP232 Adpater. If
large data packets need filtering or special formats
are required contact the factory.
