MV-POSView Controller Program
Refer to the Software Installation appendix, page D-1, for instructions on installing the MV-POSView
Controller program on a PC.
The following assumes that the controlling PC has a suitable version of windows installed and that you
are familiar with its operation. If necessary, refer to the manuals supplied with the controlling PC for
instructions on how to use your version of windows.
•
Connect the PCS and the controlling PC to the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet LAN
•
Power-on the PCS and the controlling PC, and start Microsoft Windows
®
; from windows, launch
the MV-POSView Controller program
MV-POSView connects automatically and starts to display information broadcast by the PCS over the
Ethernet if you have installed and configured the PCS, the controlling PC and the MV-POSView
Controller correctly.
The controller program can operate in either of two modes:
•
Monitor mode - the MV-POSView Controller program displays all PCS data that is broadcast over
the Ethernet, however, changes to any of the PCS settings cannot be made. This mode allows
several users to monitor the PCS data simultaneously.
•
Control mode - the MV-POSView Controller program displays all PCS data that is broadcast over
the Ethernet, and allows changes to the system configuration and the saving of new
configurations to NVM. Only one MV-POSView Controller program can control a given POS at
any time.
