5.6 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 VSI-Pro to the appro-
priate settings needed to communicate with your register. There may be times when you will need to amend these
settings for a specific register.
To access the Communication menu, press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "COMMUNICATION"
and press "Set". The following menu will appear:
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 VSI-Pro Max to other units using
the RJ45 connector.
To access the Communication menu, press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "COMMUNICATION"
and press "Set". The following menu will appear:

INTERFACE TYPE

Choices: RS-232, PASSIVE TAP, RS-485
To set the interface type for your particular device, press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "INTERFACE
TYPE" and press and release "Set". The cursor will start flashing. You can now use the "Up" or "Down" button to make
your selection. When your selection appears, press "Set" again. The cursor will stop flashing and you can proceed to
the next menu item for programming. RS-232 and RS-485 are defined by IEEE standards, however, the Passive Tap
is a high impedance (100K) input with full diode protection. Refer to Table 1 and 1A for respective pin-outs of RS-232
or RS-485.
RX BAUD RATE
Choices: AUTO, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14.4K, 19.2K, 28.8K, 38.4K, 57.6K, 115.2K
To set the baud rate for your particular device, press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "RX Baud
Rate" and press "Set". The cursor will start flashing. You can now use the "Up" or "Down" button to make your
selection. When your selection appears, press "Set" again. The cursor will stop flashing and you can proceed to the
next menu item for programming.
