VSI-Pro Max POS / Cash Register Interface

NETWORK PROGRAM

The “Network Program” selects and allows you to program the settings of the slave devices.The Sub-Menu of Network

Program can be accessed when the TYPE sub-menu in the NETWORK SETTINGS menu is set to MASTER.

NOTE: You can not change the Network Protocol or Address of any slave from this menu or the units will stop commu-

nicating. If you wish to change these settings you must do by independently by the OSD programming or connecting the

PC Programming software to each device. The default Network Protocol is RegCom 9.6K so all must be the same if you

do change any.

You will be able to change the Network Protocol and address of the VSI-Pro Max Master so if you do and it is not

the same as all the slaves then will not be able to communicate to any slaves. If you add any additional device of an AVE

product via the RS-485 network they also must be the same protocol and address unique.

While accessing the programming menu of any slave, all the other slaves will stop transferring transaction data

to the Master and will be buffering any incoming data in the slave memory. Upon exit from the programming mode the

slaves will then send all the buffered data to the Master. Therefore you should avoid doing remote programming during

high transaction traffic times for will delay the display of the data over the video so will not correspond to live transactions.

If you set the first channel to have Hydra or Master Output to the DVR using the VSI-ADD protocol you must reset this

via the on-screen menu back to default via the on-screen menu to use the PC Programming software for all devices
