(Maitre'D 2003, from Service Pack 7 and later versions of Maitre'D)
Maitre'D supports the AccuVIEW Remote Display connected through a workstation,
instead of straight to the Main Back-Office Server.
Note: In Maitre'D 2003, the CVM interface must be active on the Maitre'D
license.
Hardware Setup
Connect the POS connector of the Autoswitch to the
serial port of the POS. Use the DB25 / RJ12 connector number 102752 (supplied
by Texas Digital Systems) on the Autoswitch and, depending on the COM
port type of the POS, either the same 102752 or the DB9 / RJ12 connector
number 103874. A standard RJ12 cable can be connected between the two
(2) adapters.
Connect an RJ-12 cable between the Autoswitch (OCB
input) and the back of the AccuVIEW.
Note: The Autoswitch (or Converter) is critical because it changes
the RS232 signal from the POS to RS485 for the display.

Communication Check (AccuVIEW)
To verify the communication with the AccuVIEW, a PC can be connected to
the PC input of the Autoswitch, using the same connectors mentioned in
the Hardware section above. Using any serial communication tool (such
as HyperTerminal), adjust the communication settings to 9600 baud, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Once the port is open,
the Autoswitch will switch to PC. Send the following: >bobo
<CTRL-B>~AT<CTRL-C>
(Case sensitive), and you should receive the string 'OK' back from the
AccuVIEW.
