Appendix G: Connecting ATM/POS Devices
DX8100 version 2.0 supports connection to ATM/POS equipment using the AVE VSI-Pro. The VSI-Pro is designed to interface with many different
types of cash registers and POS equipment and allows you to program the VSI-Pro to match your register's communications settings. The VSI-Pro
handles the data communication between the ATM/POS device and DX8100, providing a standard compatible RS-422/RS-485 and RS-232
interface to the DX8100.
For information about the VSI Pro and the various types of ATM/POS equipment that it supports, contact AVE:

VSI-PRO Operation Manual and the documentation that came with your ATM/POS device.
– Connect the VSI-Pro to the DX8100. For information about connecting the VSI-Pro the DX8100, refer to Configuring DX8100 ATM/POS
Communication Options.
• Software configuration: Software configuration entails doing the following:
–
Programming the VSI-Pro to communicate with your ATM/POS device. For information about programming the VSI-Pro, refer to the
VSI-PRO Operation Manual.
– Setting up the DX8100 to interface with the VSI-Pro. For information about setting up the DX8100 to communicate with the VSI-Pro,
