• CLEAR AUDIT COUNTS
All other commands are available at the remote consoles.
With standard software, EXT POS connection is only possible with the Controller
console. EXT POS connection is not functional from a Remote Console.
With the Optional Remote Extpos Connection Software, EXT POS connection
is possible with any console (Controller or Remote console). Each console can
be configured to interface to a different EXT POS. If a remote console is
connected to an EXT POS that requires the code length to be 5 digits, then the
code length MUST be changed to 5 on the Controller console, which will
automatically change the code length for all the consoles.
2.
When the following commands are executed at a controller console which
has 1 or more remote consoles connected to it, the related information will
be automatically downloaded to all remote consoles:
SYS SETUP - Set Time, Set Code Age Warning, Disable Cashier Key,
Code Length
SET PRICE - Set any price level, Set Tax Rate, Set Tax Round Off
SETUP FEATURE - Change Wash Name
If a remote console is off-line while these items are programmed at the controller
console, this information will NOT be downloaded. If this happens, the "Program
Remote Consoles" command (see section 6.2.11.4) can be used to download all
parameters to all remote consoles. Executing this command causes the
Controller to download the following information to all remote consoles: Prices,
Wash Labels, System time, Code age warning, Disabled cashier keys, Tax rate
and Tax round off status, and Code Length.
3. When connecting additional units to the communication network, you should
simply daisy chain from one unit to the next. Pin 1 of all units should be
connected to the same conductor, (RED) and all pin 2's should be connected to
the same conductor (WHITE). The order in which units are physically added to
the network is not significant. Power should be OFF at all units while making
wiring changes.
The shield of the communication cable should also be daisy-chained at each unit.
However, the shield should only be connected to an EARTH GROUND at 1 end
of the cable. For systems with Unitec POS4000 interface boards the Shield
should be connected to Pin 4 of one of the interface boards only and should not
be directly connected to any other interface board, Console, or Earth ground
point.
Recommended procedure for configuration of consoles and bays.
