Soundy 1 Posted June 1, 2010 Try connecting your cable to a computer with a serial port (or using a serial/USB adapter), fire up HyperTerminal or other terminal app, and see if you can see the incoming data. You'll probably have to tell the terminal to "connect". If the wiring is right, you should at least see gibberish, even if the comm parameters are wrong. I would assume the POS is using straight RS-232C? Does the DVR use a standard DB9M serial port? You should be connected to pins 2 and 5 on that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaos 0 Posted June 1, 2010 im getting my info from the printer feed off the pos. i was reading avermedias 5 diffrent ways to get the pos. info. ive tried almost everyone i think the main problem im having is because im running cat5 cables and doing rj-45 to serial adapters and i dont think im doing the right wiring configuration. this cant be that hard thanks brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaos 0 Posted June 2, 2010 no im not seeing my serial adapter but mine isnt as fancy as that just a simple rj-45 to serial adapter why would i need something as fancy as that its just signal out and signal in. it seems like trying to kill a fly with a sledgehammer. how about this im running 8 wires the serial runs 9 wires can i leave one out and still pick up the text output i cant belive i need all 9 wires thanks brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avermedia have only recently released the tcp in their latest software so you may need to upgrade the software on your machine. We have a permanent display with a udp pos simulator permanently running, we also demonstrate alarms when the word void is pressed, this pops the screen, speaks the words "void is detected" and send an email which also contains the camera picture associated with the pos hope this helps regards mark morris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
