SETTING UP ATM/POS DEVICE COMMUNICATION PORTS
The DX8100 allows you to use both the COM1 (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 Port Properties
• Selecting the ATM/POS Device Mode and Communications Options on page 164
• Setting Up an ATM/POS Data Format on page 169
• Assigning a Data Format to an ATM/POS Device on page 173
• Setting Up ATM/POS Exceptions on page 174
• Verifying the ATM/POS Communication Connection on page 179
Setting Up COM1 Port Properties
This topic describes how to set up COM1 communication port properties. Access the Network page to configure the communication ports. For
information on accessing the Network page, refer to Setting Up DX8100 Network Access on page 151. For information about the Port/Device
page, refer to Setting Up Port and Device Communication Properties on page 161.
The following table describes the COM1 port properties.
To set up COM1 communication properties:
1. In the Network page, click the Port/Device tab. The Port/Device page is displayed.
2. In the Communication Port drop-down box, select COM1. RS-232 is the serial data communication standard.
3. In the device drop-down box, select a device.
4. Configure the following COM port settings using the drop-down boxes provided.
• Interface mode: RS-232 is the only allowed setting by default.
• Baud rate
•Parity
• Data bits
• Stop bits
5. Click Apply.
Setting Up RS-422/RS-485 Communication Port Properties
The DX8100 interfaces with the KBD300A, ATM/POS, and third-party dome devices using Port 1 to Port 4. All ports are compatible with both
RS-422 or RS-485 serial data communication standard. This setting describes how to connect a device to the DX8100 using Port 1 to Port 4.
Access the Network page to configure Port 1 to Port 4 communication properties. For information on accessing the Network page, refer to Setting
Up DX8100 Network Access on page 151. For information about the Port/Device page, refer to Setting Up Port and Device Communication
Properties on page 161.
