FEATURES
The LS9000 module is the new version of the classic Logic Net. It is designed
to meet the most demanding requirements of today’s kitchen video display systems.
Logic Controls Logic Net solution has been widely regarded as the most reliable KDS
hardware solution. It has been deployed by some of the largest restaurant chains in
the world as well as thousands of small local restaurants. The LS9000 module uses
no internal cables, hard disk drives, fans, or mechanical moving parts that can
easily fail. The enclosure is a heavy-duty die cast case for extra ruggedness. Every
module uses snap-to-lock connectors for secure connections.
The LS9000 module is very compact. Two mounting tabs enable these modules
to be mounted almost anywhere –on a display monitor arm, wall, ceiling or under a
counter. The LS9000 module also uses standard Ethernet connection or wireless
(optional) to a system HUB to communicate with the server or workstation running the
kitchen production management software.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A typical system consists of a host server (PC or POS terminal), where the
application software is installed, and a number of LS9000 Logic Net eStation units.
Each LS9000 unit can be connected to a VGA monitor, a keyboard, and 2 serial
interface devices. The LS9000 units communicate with the host server via TCP
sockets on Ethernet connections. Logic Net commands are sent from the server to
display data on the eStation VGA monitor and to read key codes of keys entered on
the keyboard.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Component Placement
The following is recommended when you plan the Logic Net setup:
Place the LS9000 so that you can use the mounting brackets located at the
bottom of the unit.
Place the LS9000 so that the RESET/POWER buttons are accessible.
Place the LS9000 so that the beeps from the speakers can be heard.
Place the LS9000 so that the LED indicator on the front panel can be seen.
Place the LS9000 above grill/counter level, out of the way of possible spills.
Mounting Instructions
Mounting brackets are provided to facilitate mounting the LS9000 to a wall, ceiling
or display monitor mounting arm. The installer should insure that the wall anchors
used with the mounting brackets have the capacity to support 4.3 kg (9.5 lb.). This
weight is determined by adding a safety margin weight to the weight of the unit. Wall
anchors with specified weight capacity are available commercially.
Connections
Make sure that all systems are powered off before making or removing any
connections to the LS9000 unit. Follow the steps below in connecting the devices:
1. Connect the VGA cable of the display monitor to the LS9000.
2. Connect the RS232 cable of serial devices to the LS9000 (if any).
3. Connect the keyboard device to the LS9000.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable from Ethernet hub or switch to the LS9000.
5. Connect power to all peripheral devices and turn on power.
6. Connect power adapter to the LS9000 and power cord to the power
adapter.
7. Plug the power cord into AC power outlet.
8. If necessary, reset the LS9000 by pressing the reset button or using the
power on/off button.

SYSTEM SETUP
1 Install the LS9000 units as described in HARDWARE INSTALLATION section.
2 Setup optional parameters on LS9000 if necessary (for example: operation
mode, RS232 baud rate, video training folder, etc).
3 Setup the LS9000 station address used for quick identification of the station.
4 Setup LS9000 IP address, subnet mask and port number to the required
values. Check with system administrator for proper settings. Note that the IP
address must match the IP group of the host server and the TCP port address
must match the port number used by the application software.
5. Save parameters and exit setup.
6 Verify that the values on the boot up screen shows the correct set up values. If
not, repeat step 2 to 5 to correct the settings.
7 The setup for one LS9000 is now completed. Repeat as necessary for each
LS9000 in the system, ensuring a unique IP address for each LS9000 (if static
IP address is being used). Always verify the setting on the boot up screen.
8. Check the host server IP address to make sure that it’s in the same IP group as
the LS9000 units. Setup the server IP address if necessary.
9. Setup the application software if necessary, including TCP port number setting.
10. Run the application software or a test program to verify functions of the system.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
There are no user serviceable components inside the LS9000. Service should be
performed only by Logic Controls or qualified personnel certified by Logic Controls.
The following guide lines will help in identifying the source of a problem:
VGA monitor display is blank
1. Check that the monitor and LS9000 power supplies are plugged into functioning
AC outlets.
2. Adjust the contrast controls.
3. Check that the VGA cable is plugged in properly.
4. Check that the LS9000 is properly connected to its power supply adapter.
5. If the LS9000 is connected to a power supply but the power LED is off, replace
the power supply.
6. Press the Power ON/OFF button on the LS7000 to check whether boot up screen
is displayed.
