Description
 

The VT-232E is an RS-232 to Ethernet converter (serial port to TCP/IP) used to capture POS / cash register data for Viewtron CCTV and IP camera systems. The VT-232E makes point of sale transaction text available to the POS text inserter function of Viewtron CCTV DVRs and Viewtron IP camera NVRs.

The VT-232E has one RS-232 input port and one RJ-45 Ethernet port. This device is set to a static IP address by default and can be accessed via a web browser for configuration settings. This device is only required for POS systems that do not broadcast transaction text over a TCP/IP network on their own.

  1. The RS-232 serial port of the cash register is connected to the RS-232 serial port input of the VT-232E.
  2. The RJ-45 Ethernet port of the VT-232E is connected to the same network as the DVR / NVR using CAT5 or CAT6 network cable.

The product worked perfectly. I was able to capture the data from the COM port from my POS and forward it to a TCP server.
