AVE VSI-Pro Max Choices ASCII, VSI-ADD, VNet, Dallmeier, Mvdr, Choices NONE, ODD, Even

PROGRAMMING

TX BAUD RATE

Choices: AUTO, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14.4K, 19.2K, 28.8K, 38.4K, 57.6K, 115.2K

This feature allows you to set the transmit baud rate to a separate device if you are looping the data back out of the VSI-Pro.

To set the TX Baud Rate for your particular device, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “TX BAUD RATE” and press “Set”. The cursor will start flashing. You can now use the “Up” or “Down” buttons to make your selection. When your selection appears, press “Set”. The cursor will stop flashing and you can proceed to the next menu item for programming.

TX PROTOCOL

This selection allows you program the protocol or format of the data that is transmitted out the TX port. This is only available for registers that do not use the TX line of the POS/Cash Register port for emulate modes. When using the register port for tapping then the data output in ASCII mode simulates the function of the VSI-Pro previous versions and utilizes the same pinout connection. When using the VSI-Pro Max in the Master mode this TX line is used to output the data in the VSI-ADD protocol to be compatible with the Hydra output to DVRs.

Choices: ASCII, VSI-ADD, VNet, Dallmeier, MVDR

NOTE: The choices in the above selection will change depending on the progreamming selections in the Network Settings submenu. In the “Master” mode the data can be sent out the VSI-ADD format which is the standard AVE protocol for register data which is supported by all AVE DVRs and many 3rd party DVR manufactures. The VNET format is only support by the AVE Vnetworker PC Software. The MVDR format is a subset of the VNET format that is supported by the AVE MVDR line of DVRs. The Dallmeier setting supports communication to the Dallmeier DVR in Commanding mode. ASCII is not supported in the Master mode selection.

PARITY

Choices: NONE, ODD, EVEN

Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “PARITY” 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.

DATA BITS

Choices: 7 or 8

If you select 7 Data Bits, you must select “ODD” or “EVEN” Parity in the Parity menu. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “DATA BITS” 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.

HW HANDSHAKING

Choices: ON, OFF

Hardware handshaking is an electrical signal that tells the cash register or computer that the VSI-Pro Max is ready to receive data. It may not be necessary and/or need not be connected to an outgoing signal from the cash register or computer since the VSI-Pro Max does not require handshaking. The VSI-Pro Max handshaking signal is always true signally the cash register or computer to send data.

Handshaking guarantees that the internal buffer is not over run or text is not lost. Most AVE interfaces do not support this function. Also since the VSI-Pro has a 128K buffer this feature is generally not required.
