APPENDIX M
Introduction
The Vnetworker Software can communicate directly with a VSI-Pro Max or a VSI-Pro with Vnetworker
or a VSI-Pro with Networker and connects to the Cash Register. The VSI-Pro Max or Vnetworker
or Networker take the RS-232 or RS-485 data from a cash register and puts it on a common RS-
485 network and sends it back to a PC. This network supports up to 64 cash registers. The
Vnetworker software is able to program the VSI-Pro Max or VSI-Pro with Vnetworker remotely
along with gathering the transaction or exception data. The VSI-Pro with Networker can only send
back the transaction data. The VSI-Pro must be Ver. 13.00 or 13.24 and Release 12 or higher.
Any VSI-Pro Ver. 13.00 or 13.24 can be upgraded with a uP software change for the hardware of
the VSI-Pro remains the same.
