Very grateful for any help Regards Mariusz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varascope 0 Posted December 27, 2013 USB does not work that way. Someone has attempted before to place a diode running from the VCC side but it does not work. There are software solutions for reading the USB data and a script can be written to output to Serial or other interface. Most popular POS system have Serial ports BUT they have to be activated AND configured. What is your POS system? Is it running Windows? If so which version?

joseph.chen0312 0 Posted December 31, 2013 Yes you better consult with Avigilon reps. And some gear you may study first USB to RS232/485 convertor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliff369 0 Posted January 13, 2014 It might be possible to use a USB to Ethernet server/converter with ACC - So long as the POS PC and the Avigilon server have IP connectivity between them. ACC Server can connect to any type of POS equipment that can host UTF-8 or ASCII text via TCP port 10001. If the PoS system is IP based and a common one, you could use that instead with a 3rd party integration. is it IP based or just USB/serial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
