TYPE
Choices: GENERIC, MASTER, SLAVE, OFF
GENERIC
This is the default setting of the RegCom-Pro. Also the default Jumper setting of the RegCom-Pro connects the Network
Serial RS-232 to the DB9 Pin 8 and outputs the Exception Data from this port which can be connected to a DVR or Serial
Printer. Also the Network RJ45 port outputs the same data via RS-485.
For normal exception data output to be backward compatible with all VSIs set Protocol for ASCII.
MASTER
This setting configures the Network RJ45 port to be a Master which is formerly called Hydra. The Master uses RS-485 bi-
directional communication to slave devices using either the Regcom or Vnet protocol.
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. Emulation modes require the use of both the RXD and TXD so this mode is prohibited while using
the RegCom-Pro in the Master mode.
NOTE: The default RegCom/VNET address of the internal Cash Register port of the RegCom-Pro is N/A. Therefore you
must select what address you require to be assigned to the Master Mode RegCom-Pro data output so the DVR will
assign its register data to the proper camera.
The "OUTPUT" RS-485 data with the selected format is sent out the DB9 Pins 4 &6 and the baud rate, etc, is set via the
communications setting not in this menu. In this mode the RegCom-Pro can not connect to any POS or Cash Register.
