AP416 can receive POS text from LAN port. There are two methods:
3.6.10.1 Direct connect – If the POS machine can send out POS text through its LAN Port, then, you
can connect it directly to the LAN that AP416 can access it. The configuration procedure is:
3.6.10.1.1 Select POS LAN device – There are 16 devices maximum.
3.6.10.1.2 Select Static or Dynamic IP. When Static IP is selected, key in the IP address and port
number of POS machine. When Dynamic is selected, click “Select & Update”, then, if the
connection is OK, the “Device Name” will show up automatically. In order to use Dynamic
IP, the POS LAN machine needs to include a OCX registry command in its software for
AP416 to recognize it. Please contact [e-mail]
for detail.
3.6.10.2 Using AP-204 – AP204 is a RS232 to LAN converter. You can connect its RS232 to POS
machine and its LAN port to the hub or switch that connects AP416. The AP-204 units that
connect to the same AP416 DVR, should have same IP segment. First, select its IP prefix
under “NetIO” section of Fig. 3-41. Then, enable and click “Rescan”, AP416 DVR will
reboot scan the network to see if there are AP-204 units inside its LAN segment and bring
up the MAC ID. Only after this process, you can select the “AP204-X” at “NETIO” field.
The IP prefix selected, must NOT be occupied by other AP-204 units group.
ONLY after you finish configure this step successfully, you can then go to “Serial
port” configuration of section 3.6.11 to combine the POS LAN device with cameras.
3.6.11 Serial ports
The “Serial port” here includes NOT just the traditional RS232 COM port. It covers AP204,
RS232 to LAN converter and POS LAN devices from POS machine that are set up in previous
section 3.6.10.
