Interfaced EFTPOS from St.George is
an i5100 EFTPOS terminal receiving
transaction information from a computer
based cash register. The cable provided
(see Figure 1) is required to connect the
cash register.
The cable has a “6 Flat connector” on
one end that is inserted into the “Pinpad
COM 1 port” on the i5100 EFTPOS
terminal (see Figure 2).
The other end of the cable has a “9-pin”
connection that is inserted into an
available COM port on the cash register
(see Figure 3). Generally these ports
are at the back of the register.
Note:
The interface cable uses a “9-pin
COM port. If a “25-pin” COM port is to
be used then a suitable adaptor must be
purchased. St.George does not supply
this adaptor.
