DESCRIPTION

The DX2000 Data Adapters are used to connect any serial device, such as a cash register, retail point-of-sale (POS) terminal, or bank automated teller machine (ATM), to the DX2000 Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or DX2000 Data Hub.

Each DX2000 DVR can directly control one device per data port (the DX2000 DVR has four ports). In order to control multiple devices through a single data port, you must use a data hub. Up to seven devices can be connected to each data hub and each device requires an adapter. Up to four DX2000 Data Hubs can be daisy-chained together. Refer to Figure 1.

The data adapters convert serial RS-232 data to optical code for use by the DVR or data hub. They also provide electrical isolation for the POS/ATM devices. The data adapters’ output is an RJ-45 connector that lets you connect RJ-45 or RJ-11 modular cable to the DVR or data hub.

MODELS

Typically, the DX2000DA9 Data Adapter is used when the serial device has a serial port dedicated to output to the DVR. If all of the serial device’s ports are being used by other devices, you can use the DX2000DA9T or DX2000DA25T to tap into a port and allow data to flow to the existing device in addition to the DVR.
