IMS-9000 User's Manual

Software Installation

Please refer to the documentation included with the software CD for installation and
user instructions.

Modes of Operation

Power Off Mode

The IMS9000 is designed to provide uninterrupted operation in the event of a loss of
power. If the IMS9000 loses power, it will connect the POS directly to the OCS so that
orders can be processed normally without interruption. This only applies to RS232 OCS
configurations.

Power Up Sequence

When power is applied to the IMS9000, the front panel indicators will perform the
following functions:
• REQ, AUTO, and other mode indicators will rapidly flash for a few seconds.
• The AUTO indicator will then commence its heart beat flash pattern and the POS-
OCS indicator will turn on indicating the unit is in Automatic mode.

Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, the IMS9000 continually monitors requests from the PC and
MODEM communication ports. If a request comes in over one of these ports, the
internal micro-controller will break the OCS-POS connection and establish a new
connection with the requesting device. The connection will remain in effect until it is
dropped or disconnected. At that time, the IMS9000 will default back to the OCS-POS
connection until the next request is processed.

MODEM Connection Request

In Automatic mode, the IMS9000 will automatically answer incoming calls from a remote
PC on the LINE connection after four (4) rings. The remote PC must be running Delphi's
OCS Configuration Tool software to be properly authenticated. When the authentication
process is complete, the OCS-POS connection is broken and the OCS-MODEM
connection is established. The remote PC can then perform OCS maintenance
functions such as changing dayparts, downloading graphic and video files, upgrading
system software, etc. When the modem connection is dropped or the remote PC hangs
