Vi-POSCON Installation Guide
5.6 Power-Up Sequence
This section describes the steps for applying power to the Vi-POSCON System.
CAUTION: Do not apply power to the Vi-POSCON controller or to the printer interface until directed to
do so.
Plug the power cord of the following components (as applicable) into an AC outlet and turn on their
power switch:
Cash registers
Monitor
DVR
Cameras
Verify that these components are powered-on.
Plug the printer's power cord into an AC outlet, and verify that the printer's power LED is lit.
If the LED is not lit, a failure occurred; see Troubleshooting (page 20).
Plug the Vi-POSCON controller's power supply into an AC outlet, and verify that its red POWER LED
is lit and that the surveillance scene video appears on the monitor.
If video does not appear, check all cable connections. If the controller's POWER LED is not lit, a failure
occurred; see Troubleshooting (page 20).
The surveillance scene is followed by the text overlay (Name/Time/Date window, the Transaction window,
and the Channel Bar). If the text overlay does not appear, a failure occurred; see
Troubleshooting (page
20).
Plug each printer interface's power cord into an AC outlet.
The interface transmits a configuration message to the controller, which displays it on the monitor. If the
configuration message is not legible, perform the procedures in the section for setting the baud rate (page
17).
Perform the procedures in the section titled Configuring the Vi-POSCON System (page 12) to
complete the system setup.
