Introduction
TheTCPIP232ClientServer Interfaceis designedtodeliver POS/ CashRegisterTransac-
tionDatato a compatible DVRoveran existing EthernetLANconnection in several config-
uresand protocols.
Client Mode
TheClientModeconnectsdirectlytoaPOS/CashRegisterviaRS-232orRS-485torecieve
thePOS transactiondata.Thisconfigurationis oneClient forone POS.Italsohastheability
toconnect totheAVERS-485 Networkas aMaster orHydra whichallows oneClient toread
data from up to 16 VSI-Pro Max. The POS transaction data for either configuration can be
assigneda singleIP addresswith aunique Portnumber foreach POSso acompatibleDVR
candetermine the originationof thePOStransaction data.
ThePOS transactiondatafor eitherconfiguration canalsobe assignedan IDandassigned
asingle IPaddress witha singlePortnumberwhichthenistranslatedbythe ServerMode to
outputdata ofup to16 POSintheAVEProtocol ofGenericASCII, VSI-ADD orVnet viaRS-
232 or RS-485 to compatible DVRs..
Server Mode
TheServer Modehas theability toread thePOS transactiondata thatany Clienthas placed
ontheLANnetworkin eitherTCPor UDPformatandoutputthisdataineither RS-232orRS-
485format withtheAVEGenericASCII,VSI-ADD orVnetprotocol.This datathenconnects
toa compatibleDVRor aVSI-Pro Maxforoverlay. TheServer merelypassesthe data to its
Serial port that is sent from any Client or Hydra on the LAN. Therefore you must set the
protocolappropriately andsimilarlyfor allClients ontheLAN.
Summary
The TCPIP232 Client Server is one device that can be configured in numerous ways as
eithera ClientorServer connectingdirectly toPOS/ CashRegisters orvia theAVERS-485
Network.Multiple Clientsor multipleServerscanbeplacedonthe samenetwork toachieve
anyconfiguration or dataspeed required.

Client Mode
The Client mode allows the device to connect to one POS / Cash Register, VSI-Pro or VSI-
ProMax viaRS-232 orRS-485 andsend thisdata overthe LANin eitherTCP orUDP Proto-
col with an IPAddress and Port Number assigned to that device. The Client has different
performance specifications depending on the configuration, see the following page for de-
tails.

* Mode Client
-Protocol TCP
-DestinationPort 10101

Server Mode
The Server mode allows the device to recieve data from multiple Clients or Hydras on the
LAN network and send this data out via RS-232 or RS-485 to a compatible DVR or device.
The protocol of this output is configured on the Client or Hydra device so all need to be set
similarly.This mode supportseitherTCPor UDPprotocol.
Note: TheServrer hasdifferent performancespecificationsbasedonthesystemconfigura-
tion,see below.
Hydra Mode
The Hydra Mode is a special type of a Client mode that supports theAVE RS-485 Network
protocolto connect upto 16VSI-ProMax withone device.Inthis modeit canbeconfigured
to send all 16 POS data to the Server Mode using only one IP:Port or assign a single IP
addressandunique:PorttoeachPOS. Thelatermethod iscommonlyused todeliverdata to
compatible DVRs. This mode supports either TCP or UDP protocol. See below for the per-
formancespecifications basedonsystem configuration.

Exception String
TheTCPIP232 Client Servercompares the data entered in the Exception String to the
incomingdatafrom thePOS.The ExceptionStringcanalsobe usedwithout adefinedrange.
Exampleofthiswouldbe toassignaword“ VOID”asanexception. TCPIP232Client Server
willlook forthatstringsorange definitionis notnecessary.However,exceptionstring“ VOID”
couldbe furtherdefinedbyassigningaRange,i.e. all“VOID” over$20.Youcanalsodefinea
globalexception toremove thetransactions.
You canalso usea wildcard symbol“*”,anasteriskonanydatalocationor “?”for anysingle
character.An exampleof thiswould beinstead ofassigning eightdifferent exception strings
for dept 00 to dept 07, you can assign only one exception string e.g. “dept *” or “dept 0?”.
Thatwild cardexceptionstringwillhandle exceptionsfor alleight departments.
