SETTING UP ATM/POS DEVICE COMMUNICATION PORTS
The DX8000 allows you to use both the COM1 and COM2 (RS-232) port and Port 1 to Port 4 (RS-422/RS-485) to connect ATM/POS devices.
Typically, Port 1 to Port 4 are used to connect the KBD300A and dome devices.
This section describes how to select and configure the ATM/POS device communication port and includes the following topics:
•Setting Up COM1 and COM2 Port Properties on page 149
