the POS4000 main console and external POS system MUST be
identical. To change the BAUD rate of the POS4000 main console
refer to section 6.2.6.
With the Optional Remote Extpos Connection Software, each
POS4000 console’s BAUD rate must be identical to the external
POS system it is connected to.
When using the Suntronic model SM-960, you MUST set the
maximum code length as 5 (see section 6.2.4). The SM-2000 allows
you to use 5 or 6 digit codes.
Note:
As communication occurs between the POS4000 main console and an external
POS system, the second line of the POS4000 main console display will show the
most recently processed message. If any communication errors occur, error
messages will be displayed. While these messages mean very little to the
operator, they can provide important information to Unitec technical support. If
you suspect there is a communication problem, it will be very useful if the
operator watches the second line of the display and notes any activity prior to
contacting Unitec technical support.
