RegCom IBM

The RegCom IBM is special version of the RegCom exclusively for IBM 46XX terminal with the SDL RS-485 type connections.

Regcom IBM provided the 8 postions DIP switch on the back for various display interface types. See table as below to

switch the DIP switch meet your display interface type. The RegCom IBM is not a slave device and can not work with the

Hydra or VSI-Pro Max as a Master device. It is merely a device that uses the same hardware as the RegCom and

converts the IBM High Speed RS-485 network to ASCII RS-232 for connection directly to a VSI-Pro Max or DVR.

AVE offers a full line of cables that use the IBM SDL connectors to plug directly to the IBM POS either 4 Pin Display ports

or the 16 Pin Printer port. The RegCom IBM will read the POS data, format it and send out formated ASCII at 4800 baud,

8 bits, No Parity and one Stop bit which is fixed.

APPENDIX K USING THE UART MODULE

When this UART PCB is installed and Interface Type is set for RS-232 and Network Settings, Type “Generic”, the

mode make sure you purchase the proper cable when installing the UART PCB. TXD Pin 3 can then be configured for

formatted ASCII data output. With the UART PCB the VSI-Pro Max can be configured as a Master and will output the

VSI-ADD or other protocol out Pin 3 as RS-232 in addition to be able to fully support Emulation modes using RXD 2 and

TXD 8 for Register Connections but will have to set Address to either 1-16 to enable the Register Port. If you set Address

for N/A when in the Master mode then the Register Port can only be used for PC Programming Software or Firmware

Updating using RXD 2 and TXD 3 which is the same as without the UART PCB installed and uses the same cable. It is

always recommended to hold the “Up” and “Set” buttons in for 3 seconds to enter the PC Software Programming

temporary mode before connecting to the VSI-Pro Max with the PC Programming Software.

NOTE: TXD 3 will never be allowed to have 7 bit no parity since not supported by the output. If you select 7 bit no parity

for the UART PCB or Register Selection then TXD 3 will be 8 bit no parity at the same baud rate.

When Interface Type is set for RS-485 and UART PCB installed and Network Settings, Type “Generic”, the Register

Port is reconfigured for RS-485 input using DB9 Pin 4(A+) and Pin6(B-). The DB9 Pin 3 will still output the formated data

with the respective TX Protocol via RS-232. In this mode the UART PCB has no function.

When Interface Type is set for RS-485 and UART PCB installed and Network Settings, Type “Master”, the Register

Port is reconfigured for RS-485 input using DB9 Pin 4(A+) and Pin6(B-) only if Address is set for 1-16 enabling the

Register Port. The DB9 Pin 3 will still output the formated data with the respective TX Protocol via RS-232. In this mode

the UART PCB has no function.

If the Address is set for N/A then the RS-485 port Pins 4/6 Outputs the selected TX Protocol. In this mode the VSI-

Pro Max can not connect to any POS/Cash Register or PC Programming Software since will send the VSI-ADD or other

TX Protocol out RS-485 Only.

If the UART board is not installed or you attempt to program baud rates that are not supported you will see the

onscreen error messages.
