If the POS system supports output via TCP/IP, then there should be a configuration section where you can input the Port and IP address of the AVYCON recorder, since you need to tell the POS system where to send this data. By default, our recorders have a POS port of 9036.

With these devices, you can simply connect an RS-232 cable from the back of our POS system to the RS-232 port on these devices, and then with a couple of config- uration settings, you can begin to show POS Data on your AVYCON recorder’s screen.

(RS-232) communication, and then what IP address to send the data to, which is going to be the IP address of the AVYCON recorder. First, you will need to log into the RS-232-to-TCP/IP converter with its IP address and find where to configure the RS-232 settings to match what the settings are for your...

AVYCON Recorder Setup After configuring the POS system or RS-232-to-TCP/IP adapter to send data to the AVYCON recorder, we will now need to configure the recorder to listen to the IP address of the adapter/POS system. These settings can be configured either through the web interface or directly at the recorder’s interface.

POS Integrations Setup POS Settings for AVYCON recorder (web interface) For each POS device that you are integrating, you will need to configure the following: Enable: Make sure that this option is set to ON Connection: Choose TCP Listen (this will be the most common configuration since this is just bringing in the POS data to the recorder.

POS Integrations Setup For POS IP, you will need to put in the IP address of either the POS system that supports TCP/IP or the RS-232-to-TCP/IP device. For the port, you can usually leave this blank, unless your POS device absolutely requires a port assigned.

POS Integrations Setup The most important one usually is the NewLine character, which tells the AVYCON recorder to display information on a new line, so that each item is displayed exactly how it will appear on a receipt. The most common character for this is “\n”, which our recorder uses as a default.
