Determining the Generic TEXT Protocol Setup Required For a
POS Server or Cash Register
Requirements To program the Text Protocol Setup screen you need either or both of the
following:
• A document describing the POS data output and format
• A sample collection of transaction data output from the POS server
Solution Ideally you should obtain an actual sample trace of a series of transactions from
the POS server or cash register. Sometimes the documentation does not include all the
information required. In this case:
1. Insert a data analyzer or PC running Hyper Terminal on the output.
2. Generate several transactions.
3. Collect the data in a file.
4. E-mail this information to Honeywell for recommendations.
5. To program this yourself, see Appendix B, POS Interface .
