PROGRAMMING

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 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.

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.

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.

The “OUTPUT” RS-232 data with the selected format is sent out the DB9 TXD Pin 3 for RS-232. 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. 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.

The “OUTPUT” serial data with the selected format is sent out the DB9 Pins 4 &6 for RS-485 and the baud rate, etc, is set via the communications setting not in this menu. In this mode the VSI-Pro Max can not connect to any POS or Cash Register.
