Document Number: POS4003 131
Document Title: POS4000/V2 Operations Manual
Additional POS4000 consoles may be connected to the network to provide
additional points-of-sale, these are referred to as remote consoles.
A controller console must have an address of 1. Customer interfaces must begin
at address 2 and continue sequentially. The addresses of remote consoles must
begin after customer interfaces and continue sequentially. The unit number of a
customer interface is determined by DIP switches located on the customer
interface board (refer to the layout drawing in the back of this manual for position
and setting of switches). The unit number of a POS4000 is set by using the "Set
Unit Number" command (see section 6.2.11.1). Unit numbers for Hamilton
Autotec Coin boxes are determined by a wire harness change in the Hamilton
coin box. Contact Hamilton MFG for a reference to this harness change.
Upon changing bay configurations, any prior accounting reports should be
printed out first. Adding a Wash Select II, for instance, or changing the bay
number of the remote console could cause you to lose the accounting
information associated with the remote console.
Unit numbering examples:
A system with 1 POS4000 and 2 customer interfaces (2 carwash bays):
1 controller console with address 1.
2 customer interfaces with addresses 2 and 3.
In this example the console is set up to have 2 bays and 0 remote
consoles
A system with 2 POS4000s (One Controller and 1 remote) and 1 customer
interface (1 carwash bay):
1 controller console with address 1.
1 customer interfaces with address 2.
1 remote consoles with addresses 3.
In this example, the controller console is set up as the controller at
address 1, to have 1 bay and 1 remote console. The remote console is
set up to be a remote, address 3, 1 bay and 0 remote consoles.
In addition to controlling the communication network, the network controller
generates all customer codes (including ones printed at remote consoles) and
maintains the database of valid and used codes. Only accounting information
from the Controller console is valid. Any accounting information, or code
database information on the remote console is invalid.
