POS Integration Guide

You will need:

USB to Serial Port Adapter

Null Modem Cable

Windows PC with HyperTerminal

Available COM port on PC

POS Simulator Software

Sample Register Text Step 1: Verifying RS-232 Connection.

1. Connect your USB to Serial Adapter to a free USB port on your PC, and install the appropriate software for your device using the supplied CD.

2. Use the Null Modem Cable to interconnect the USB to Serial Port Adaptor with the serial port (COM1) on your PC.

3. Open HyperTerminal.

4. When “Location Information” window appears, click on “cancel”. When asked if you are sure you want to cancel click “yes”. 5. When “Connection Description” window appears, you must give the session a name. This is for your own reference and can be anything you would like. Once you have entered a name, click “OK”.

6. If “Location Information” window appears again, please repeat step 4.

7. When “Connect to” window appears, select “COM1” in the “connection using” drop down menu, then Click “OK”. 8. When “COM1 Properties window appears, change the “Bit Rate” to 115200, then click “OK”. 9. Minimize your HyperTerminal window and open your POS Simulator Software.

10. In order to know which COM port is the correct one for POS Simulator configuration, you must go to your “Device Manager” and verify which COM port number was assigned to your USB to Serial Port Adaptor. This can be done by accessing “System” in your “Control Panel”, clicking on the “Hardware” tab and clicking on “Device Manager”. Once you are in “Device Manager”, you will find a heading that says “Ports”, you can click on the plus sign to the left of it to see what ports are currently installed. You should see your newly added adaptor with a COM number next to it in parenthesis as shown below: 11. For this Example, we will be using COM5. Once you have verified your COM number you can close your device manager.

12. In the POS Simulator Software, you must change the COM Port setting to COM5. Baud Rate must be 115200. 13. You can now simulate a POS transaction by selecting one or more of the examples from the right hand side. Go ahead and choose a few items from the selection, as you click the examples (i.e. malon, banana, apple, etc.) they will appear in the box. Once you have a few items selected you can click “Submit.

14. You should now see the transaction appear in your HyperTerminal window as shown below. If this is not the case, please make sure you have followed all steps correctly, otherwise you may need to contact a PC technician to troubleshoot possible hardware issues with your PC. If the transaction does appear, then you are ready to proceed to the next step. Step 2: Setting up your Nubix to accept POS transactions.

1. Go to the “Event In” section of your Nubix menu. Make sure to mark “P” in the “Text In” box that corresponds to the camera number you would like the POS transactions to be linked with. 2. You must also go into “Text Insert Setup” and select “USER” as the device for the corresponding channel. You can then choose “OK” to save your changes, and choose “OK” again to save your changes and go back to Live Mode. Step 3: Sending Simulated Transaction to the Nubix. 1. Once you have verified your RS-232 Communication, you can go on to send a simulated transaction to your Nubix. At this time, disconnect the Null Modem Cable from the Serial Port on your PC, and connect it to the Serial Port on your Nubix.

** NOTE: In order for Nubix to accept the transactions, baud rate and device type must be configured in Nubix via TCP/IP. In the POS Simulator software, input your Nubix IP Address in the “URL” field making sure to use correct port number. Click “connect”. If connection is successful, you will see the area circled below become available. Select “USER” as “Type” and 115200 as “Baud Rate”. Click “Apply Setting”to send configuration changes to Nubix.

2. In your POS Simulator Software, select one or more of the examples from the right hand side. Go ahead and choose a few items from the selection, as you click the examples (i.e. malon, banana, apple, etc.) they will appear in the box. Once you have a few items selected you can click “Submit.”

3. The transaction should now be appear in your Nubix’s display.
