Installing and Operating the Workstation 4
The IO Panel
RS232 (COM1)
This industry standard DB9 male connector can be used for serial printer if
supported by the POS application. The port is supported by an 16550A UART
with a 16-byte receive buffer.
USB
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface supports the host controller
functions with a built in Root Hub and 2 USB ports. The USB circuitry is
implemented based on Open HCI Version 1.1, the Open Host Specification.
USB is based on a tiered star topology capable of operating at speeds of up to
12Mb per second. All USB devices are plug and play compatible and can be
attached to the workstation when the power is on.
Consult the Workstation 4 PMA or your MICROS representative for more
information about compatible USB devices.
Cash Drawers 1 and 2
These connectors support standard and low profile MICROS cash drawers
with DIN style connectors.
PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard port supports a standard PS/2 style keyboard. The mouse port
supports a PS/2 style mouse or other pointing device.
Customer Display
This connector supports a pole mount Remote Customer Display. The Display
contains a two-line display with twenty characters per line. The display can be
mounted up to 4ft. from the workstation.
RS422-A (COM4) and RS422-B (COM5)
These multi-purpose ports are configured through application software as
either four-wire full-duplex RS422 ports capable of supporting MICROS IDN
printing devices or two wire RS232 ports.
WARNING:
Do not insert a 6-Pin modular plug into the 8-Pin
RS422-A and RS422-B connectors. The 6-Pin plug can
push pins 1 and 6 of the connector (used by the RS232
Interface) out of position where they can short to the
connector shell. This can damage the IDN and or RS232
Interface. Always use an 8-Pin modular plug when you
connect IDN printers to the workstation
