Ethernet interface
MCT88M-IO terminal can communicate with MC16 controller via LAN if MCX16-RS expander is connected
as intermediary device (fig. 3). In such scenario, MC16 controller and MCX16-RS can be connected to the
same network but they communicate solely via RS485 bus.
Alternatively, the Ethernet interface can be used for communication of the terminal with virtual controller
which operates as Windows Service on a computer in LAN. Virtual controller enables the operation of
MCT88M-IO as PoS terminal or assets management terminal. Virtual controller is a component of
RogerSVC software package which is available at

identification with PIN and for various keypad commands. By default, the key # is used for PIN confirming.
Function keys
The terminal is equipped with four touch function keys (fig. 4). Various functions can be assigned to these
keys within high level configuration (VISO) e.g. Set T&A Mode, Register Guard Tour Event, Set Automation

folder must be named as icon_000.bmp. Screensaver graphics must be named as scrnsvr.bmp and it must
be copied to the main folder of memory card instead of ICONS folder. Icon files must in bmp format,
