"ADDRESS" choices are 1-16
"PROTOCOL" which the choices are REGCOM or VNET
"BAUD RATE" 1200 - 115.2K

ADDRESS

Choices: N/A, 1-16
This select the address or camera number when configured as a slave device. The selections are 1-16 so that the POS/
Cash Register is assigned a unique number up to a maximum of 16 to send the data over the RS-485 network back to a
Master unit or a Hydra device which then sends all the data to the DVR or PC for recording.

PROTOCOL

Choices: REGCOM 9.6K or REGCOM 57.6K or VNET
This setting selects the protocol of the RS-485 Network. There are two protocols to be compatible with two different
devices and functions. The REGCOM can be selected for compatibility with the Regcom networking device. The Regcom
device can be set for either 9600 or 57600 baud rate to match the installed device settings. However when not using the
Regcom device and using only RegCom-Pro then any baud rate can be set. The Regcom Protocol only has the ability to
receive register data only.
The VNET can be configured for compatibility with the Vnetworker or Networker devices. A baud rate of 19200 can be only
used for these external devices. However when used with a RegCom-Pro device and no external Vnetworker or Networker
devices are used then any baud rate can be used. The Vnetworker protocol has the ability to receive register data,
Program remote RegCom-Pro devices, receive remote alarming and Time/Date information.

BAUD RATE

Choices: 1200 - 115200 baud rate
This sets the comunication speed for the Network port in all configurations. Care must be given to selecting the proper
baud rate for the Type of operation you wish and configuration you set for the RegCom-Pro.
