Version 7 Register Setup: Sharp 600 and Sharp 700

Below are some basic instructions for setting up a register for communications with V7.  These steps should only be completed by a certified cash register dealer.  In order to set up communications, dealers must first program the register to allow communications, connect the register to the PC, and configure the software.  Below are instructions on programming the register, sample cable diagrams to help dealers connect the register to the PC, and basic installation instructions for the software.

Register Programming:

For 600/700 Direct Communications Setup – RS232/Serial

SRV Mode:

Go into SETTING and then DEVICE CONFIG.  In DEVICE CONFIG select ONLINE and set the CHANNEL#.

Go into IRC SETTING and select TERMINAL SETTING.  In TERMINAL SETTING select your desired register configuration.

Program Mode 2:

Go into ONLINE SETTING and set the TERMINAL No. and the BAUD RATE.

Go into SETTING and then TERMINAL.  In TERMINAL select MACHINE# and set the MACHINE#. 

For 600/700 LAN* Communications setup consult your Network Professional

SRV Mode:

Go into IRC SETTING and select TERMINAL SETTING.  In TERMINAL SETTING select any of the settings except STAND ALONE.  After the selection has been made, set the register’s IP address to be in line with the particular type of network that is currently in use.  I.e. A Class C network could have an address 192.168.001.xxx  

Program Mode 2:

Go into MWS SETTING and enter the IP address of the computer used for communications along with the network’s gateway.

*LAN - Local Area Network. A network of devices (computers, printers, hubs) occupying a small area. Usually LANs do not span more than one building.  For example: The PC/Poll office has a LAN for our development workstations, severs, and printers.  We can also put 600/700's on our LAN and communicate with them from our workstations.  Standard network cable is required for a LAN setup

Cabling:

The cabling specifications for the Version 7 Polling Sharp 600/700  are identical to Version 6 Polling.  The cable diagrams listed below are for RS232 communication only.  For TCP/IP communication use a standard network cable.
