AVE Comprehensive Guide to VSI Pro Cash Register and Networker Software

PC SOFTWARE with CASH REGISTER APPENDIX E

The simple to install and use the Networker PC Software allows up to 64 VSI-Pros and Cash Registers to be config- ured on an RS-485 network and report all the transaction data back to a single monitoring computer. This Windows- based software can be configured to display in a windowing horizontal format below or tiling in a vertical format. All data files are stored separately as independent files on the PC and can be downloaded or searched locally or remotely to find specific transaction data or information. This can be used in conjuction with Windows-based DVR or Cash Register software and eliminates the use of an additional PC for the collection, search, or transmission.

APPENDIX F RS-485 VNETWORKER

RS-485 VNETWORKER

The Vnetworker is an enhancement to the Networker product and software to allow a PC to remotely control, program and upload register data from up to 16 VSI-Pros on a single RS-485 network. The Vnetworker products connects to the cash register, the VSI-Pro and the RS-485 networker and controls the flow of data from all de- vices. This device utilitzes the “Hardware” handshaking RTS line of the VSI-Pro to control reading register data and signally the VSI-Pro that the user requires programming upload. The programming upload is user interactive remotely similar to pressing the front panel controls of the VSI-Pro and changing the on-screen menus. However most functions can be done remotely on the PC without looking at the monitor view of the menus and camera view. This feature is only available on VSI-Pro Ver. 13.XX Release 12 or higher. All Version 13.XX can be factory upgraded to support this feature.
