SW HANDSHAKING
Choices: NONE, XON/XOFF, ACK/NAK
Software handshaking is a command that is embedded in the data stream that is read and/or sent by the VSI-Pro Max
that controls the flow of data to or from an external device.
AUTO LINEFEED Choices: ON, OFF
Auto Linefeed makes the VSI-Pro Max append a CR/ LF after each displayed line. The default of this function is "ON",
but if you would like to disable it then press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "AUTO LINEFEED" and
press "Set". The cursor will start flashing. Press the "Up" or "Down" button to cycle through the values and press "Set"
when the desired value is displayed.

NETWORK SETTINGS

Press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "NETWORK SETTINGS" and press "Set". The cursor will start
flashing. Press the "Up" or "Down" button to cycle through the values and press "Set" when the desired value is
displayed.

Press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "TYPE" and press "Set". The cursor will start flashing. Press the
"Up" or "Down" button to cycle through the values and press "Set" when the desired value is displayed.
TYPE Choices: GENERIC, MASTER, SLAVE, OFF
GENERIC
This is the default setting of the VSI-Pro Max. Also the default Jumper setting of the VSI-Pro Max 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. The "Network LED" will also flash when
data is transmitted out in Generic mode. 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.
When Interface Type is set for RS-232, the "OUTPUT" RS-232 data with the selected format in the Register Select/TX
Protocol is sent out the DB9 TXD Pin 3. In the RS-232 mode you can still use the VSI-Pro Max 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. You must also select the
Address to be 1-16. Emulation modes require the use of both the RXD and TXD so this mode is prohibited while using
the VSI-Pro Max in the Master mode. If the Address is set to N/A then both the RXD/TXD are assigned for PC Programming
or DVR connection and no register or POS can be connected to the Master VSI-Pro Max.
When Interface Type is set for RS-485, the "OUTPUT" RS-485 data with the selected format in the Register Select/TX
Protocol is sent out the DB9 Pins 4&6 if Address is set for N/A. In this mode the VSI-Pro Max can not connect to any
POS/Cash Register or PC Programming Software since will send the VSI-ADD or other protocol out RS-485 Only. You
must set Address to 1-16 for the RS-485 to be used for POS data input on Pin 4&6. Pin 3 will still be available as TXD
RS-232 Output of the selected Register Select/TX Protocol to send the Master Data to the DVR.
