The RegCom-Pro is the latest in the evolution of the popular VSI line of POS / Cash Register Interfaces from
AVE.TheRegCom-Pro,now withlarger memoryspacecan holdALLtheAVEInterfacesin oneunit withfull remotePC
orDVRprogrammingforselection andsetups andonsite firmwareupdating. Builtin RS-232,RS-485, Passiveandthe
newOpto-Isolated selection, gives completeisolationfromthe POS/Cash Register fromtheinterfaceand DVR. Internal
40Mhz operation allows for combiningtheNetworkingfunctions of the Hydra, Regcom,Networkeror Vnetworker within
oneconvenientunitwithlooping RJ45s for a seem-less solution for multiple till configurations.
TheRegCom-Prohas all the powerful features of the VSI-Pro Max without the builtinvideooverlaycapability.
Whetherused witha cashregisterproviding realtimedataonan RS-232portor tappingoff aserialprinter orpole
display, the RegCom-Pro is a valuable tool in loss prevention. When used in conjunction withAVE’s extensive line of
adapters this device can connect to any POS (Point of Sale) / ECR (Electronic Cash Register) or peripheral on the
markettoday.Nowavailablethe TCPIP232Adapter forinterfacingtoEthernet LAN networks to capturecommonprinter
data or monitor any single register transactions.
The RegCom-Pro can be used to trigger switchers, time lapse VCRs, DVRs, remote transmission devices or
other alarming devices via the 2 hardwired open collector alarm outputs.
TheRegCom-Pro also hasanadditional RS-232/RS-485 output thatcansend the formatedASCIItextto a DVR
whichcan store thedataas an electronicfilein addition toinsertedin the actual videoimage.This additional RS-485port
supportsfullnetworking of up to 16 RegCom-Pro without any external devices.
The Exception Processor of the RegCom-Pro provides the intelligence to bring questionable or exceptional
transactions to view for the user. This allows the user to quickly and easily review employee transactions to identify
fraudandtheft transactions at the cash register. When usedwithacompatibleDVR, the RegCom-Pro can command or
becommanded bytheDVR toautomaticallysearch tothetransaction inquestionfor instantreviewof therecordedvideo.
Withthenew “Scroll Matching” feature, users can easily set and erase scrollingadvertisingmessagesfromthe
customer display but always record the valid transactions.
TheRegCom-Proisfully networkablewith our“Networker”, “Vnetworker”,“Hydra”and“Regcom”lineofproducts.
These device connect to the VSI-Pro or ECR Interfaces or Adapters directly and communicate back via an RS-485
networkto the central location.PCWindows-basedsoftware can also beusedas the controller ofthisnetwork and store
transactionfilesfor up to 16 cash registers for remote viewingordownloadingtoproduce reports for management.
The RegCom-Pro is fully remotely downloadable, uploadable or programmable by our PC VSI Programmable
software.This utilizes a direct connection via RS-232fromalaptop to the VSI-Pro. Complete RegCom-Pro settingscan
besaved on the laptopanduploadedto the RegCom-Pro atwill.This is mainly used fordealermaintanence or for single
stationuserprogrammingor when cameras or monitors are not easily available.
Firmware is also downloadable in the field with our Firmware Utility so new updates and features can be
easily passed to customers without changing EPROMs or opening the unit.
1.1 VSI / VSI+ / VSI-Pro / RegCom-Pro Backward Compatibility
Since 1990 various versions of the VSI have been on the market solving cash register retail problems. Several special
version are available to interface to other RS-232 devices like scales, coin counters, PLCC, gambling machines and ATMs along
with countless other generic RS-232 devices. The first VSI, Version 9 had no exception processing until the release of Version 10.
However these versions had the ability to output the data so are compatible with the Regcom line of networking adapters. As
features increased we moved to the VSI+ Version 11, which had the first powerful set of exception processing and printing
functions. This version also had hardware handshaking capability which allows it to be fully operational with the Networker and
Regcom line. The introduction of the VSI-Pro Version 12 added on-screen selection of various model registers for ease of instal-
lation and supported many characters sizes for multiple units to display data on one camera view. This version also supports the
Networker and Regcom products. The VSI-Pro Version 13.XX has improved features and additional registers and the Version
13.00 supports North America cash registers and Version 13.24 supports UK and European models. All Version 13.XX VSI-Pro
support the Networker and Regcom products. All Version 13.XX can be upgraded to the latest Ver. 13 release. This release adds
PC Programming capability, Firmware update externally and Vnetworker support along with Networker and Regcom compatibility.
The RegCom-Pro is the latest in the development line and includes all register of Ver. 13.XX in one convenient unit along with
built in Hydra, Regcom, Networker and Vnetworker hardware and software.

RS-232 DB9F Shielding
The shield of the DB9 RS-232 connector also connects to chassis ground. Therefore this shield should not be
connected to any signal ground of any RS-232 signal or power signal. If for some reason the source or destination
deviceshave internal connectionsfromsignal ground to theshieldthen the shieldshouldnot be connected onRegCom-
Proend tomaintainsignal ground andearthground isolation.Propershielding of RS-232signalswill extendthelength of
wiring especially at high data rates and eliminate noise being coupled into the either a source or destination device by
surroundingEMIor RFI generated by other equipment within theinstallation.

TCP/IP
Select “REGISTER SELECT” Tab and select TCP/IP
fromdrop-down lists.TheTCP/IPmenu willappear:
Figure 10: REGISTER SELECT Menu
Figure 11: TCPIP Sub-Menu
Select“REGISTERSELECT”Taband selectTCP/IP
from drop-down lists and then set IP address to the
same as the IP address you wish to monitor.
EXAMPLE: If the IP address is 192.168.0.76, set the
address on the TCPIP 232 Adapter using this
menu.
RefertoAppendixIforadditionalinformationonthe
TCPIP232Adapterorthemanualincludedwiththe
adapter.
NOTE:TheTCPIP232Adaptercanbeprogrammed by
this method or by using a standard PC with a serial
cable along with theAVE IP setting software. Refer to
theTCIP232AdpaterManualfordoingthis.
Once you have set the IP address of the TCPIP232
Adapter you will be in the “Generic” display mode.
You may select another register driver to format this
display. When you do this the VSI-Pro loads the
default register baudrate as if a direct connection to
the register so make sure you set the proper
baudrate as described below.
The TCPIP232 Adpater communicates with the VSI-
Pro via RS-232 at a baudrate of 19.2K. Therefore
when you select this menu option the baudrate of the
VSI-Pro is changed to this rate so communication for
downloading the configuration can occur. When
using the TCPIP232 adpater with other register
drivers or data dump mode make sure you change
theRXDbaudrate to 19.2K so the RegCom-Prowill
communicate.
TCP/IP Limitations
The TCPIP232 Adapter can monitor any Ethernet
LAN either 10MBs or 100MB/s. However the actual
long term throughput of the adpater is limited to
5MB/s. This is more than enough for network printers
for cash receipts, bar code scanners or single cash
registers that operate in a “Live Mode”. Live Mode
means the register transmitts the data on the net-
work line by line or at the end of each transaction.
Some cash registers have large local built in memo-
ries for thousands of items and then only batch
multiple transactions on the network at any given
time or controlled by the server. Cash Registers
utilizing this kind of batch processing are not suitable
for security monitoring. Other devices that output
large amounts of data will overrun the buffers of
eithertheTCPIP232Adapteror RegCom-Pro anddata
will be lost and would not be suitable for security
monitoringanyway.
TheRegCom-Pro has a set ofpowerfuldata dump
modes that compatible with the TCPIP232 Adpater. If
large data packets need filtering or special formats
are required contact the factory.
Select“REGISTERSELECT”Tab and select “Generic”
for general register.In this mode is simply no filtering
of the input data and will display any printable
characterin the RS-232 terminal,example DVR. If you
are not sure of what you are connecting to this is the
first selection so you will see everything and then later
choose the options you want to better filter the display
to your liking.
