1.1 FCC & ICES compliance

FCC & ICES Information

(U.S.A. and Canadian Models Only)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
– reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
– increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver;

– connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected;

– consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

for help.
Intentional or unintentional modifications, not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance, shall not be
made. Any such modifications could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. If necessary, the user should consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
corrective action.
The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the
Federal Communications Commission, helpful: How to Identify
and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,

Informations FCC et ICES

(modèles utilisés aux États-Unis et au Canada uniquement)

Suite à différents tests, cet appareil s'est révélé conforme aux
exigences imposées aux appareils numériques de classe B, en
vertu de la section 15 du règlement de la Commission fédérale
des communications des États-Unis (FCC), et en vertu de la
norme ICES-003 d'Industrie Canada. Ces exigences visent à
fournir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences
nuisibles lorsque l'appareil est utilisé dans le cadre d'une
installation résidentielle. Cet appareil génère, utilise et émet
de l'énergie de radiofréquences et peut, en cas d'installation ou
d'utilisation non conforme aux instructions, engendrer des
interférences nuisibles au niveau des radiocommunications.
Toutefois, rien ne garantit l'absence d'interférences dans une
installation particulière. Il est possible de déterminer la
production d'interférences en mettant l'appareil
successivement hors et sous tension, tout en contrôlant la
réception radio ou télévision. L'utilisateur peut parvenir à
éliminer les interférences éventuelles en prenant une ou
plusieurs des mesures suivantes:
– Modifier l'orientation ou l'emplacement de l'antenne

réceptrice;
– Éloigner l'appareil du récepteur;
– Brancher l'appareil sur une prise située sur un circuit

différent de celui du récepteur;
– Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien qualifié en radio/

télévision pour obtenir de l'aide.
Toute modification apportée au produit, non expressément

approuvée par la partie responsable de l'appareil, est
strictement interdite. Une telle modification est susceptible
d'entraîner la révocation du droit d'utilisation de l'appareil.

ATM/POS Bridge Description | en 9

2 Description

The ATM/POS Bridge provides an interface between a digital
recorder and either Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) or Point­of-Sale (POS) equipment such as cash registers. Both single­and multi-drop ATM networks are supported. This allows
financial transaction data to be recorded and linked to specific
camera images.
The bridge supports up to four (4) serial connections to directly
connect devices to each ATM/POS bridge. The bridge also
supports connection to a TCP/IP network. In this configuration,
the bridge can transmit transactional data from any terminal on
the same network to a digital video recorder.

2.1 Parts List

The ATM/POS Bridge package contains the following
components:
– 1 ATM/POS Bridge unit
– 1 External DC power supply
–1 Mounting kit
– 2 Connection cables
– 1 Console cable
– CD-ROM with software utilities
– Installation manual

2.2 Supported Protocols

The ATM/POS Bridge is designed to operate with many
different terminals. If you have any questions regarding the
suitability of the firmware for your terminal or any other
questions, contact your Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
representative.

You must configure the ATM/POS Bridge network settings to
ensure proper communication on an existing TCP/IP network.
This section provides configuration details using the Web-based
interface.
To configure the bridge using a HyperTerminal session, refer to
Section 6 Configuration Using HyperTerminal, page 24.
For instructions to update the ATM/POS Bridge firmware, refer
to Section A Updating Bridge Firmware, page 36.

5.1 Configuring the Bridge for a Network
Connection

The ATM/POS Bridge allows two methods to configure network
settings:
– Use the Bridge Detector utility (supplied on the CD-ROM)

to set the network settings (the Device Detection
parameter must be set to Enable, refer to
Section 5.2.2 Network Setup, page 19).
or

– Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to allow an APIPA-enabled

workstation to connect to the bridge. The default network
setting for the bridge falls within the APIPA address
ranges.

5.1.1 Using the Bridge Detector Utility

NOTICE!

Contact your local network administrator for a valid IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and a Gateway IP Address.

1. Connect the supplied DC power adapter unit to the DC

power input connector of the bridge.

2. Connect the RJ45 connector of the bridge via a straight

Ethernet CAT5 network cable to a network switch or hub
that supports 10BaseT.

If the Comm Channel is set to TCP/IP, use the Address
field to enter one of the following options:
– 0.0.0.0: The default IP Address that instructs the

bridge to accept transactions from any IP Address (or
ATM/POS terminal) on the network.

– Specific IP Address: Type the IP Address of a specific

terminal to instruct the bridge to accept transactions
only from that ATM/POS terminal on this Comm
Channel.

7 Troubleshooting

If you are unable to capture transaction data, follow these
steps:

1. Check all cable connections.

2. Check the TCP/IP network connection with the ATM/POS
Bridge. Ensure that the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway Address are valid and appropriate for the
network.

3. If the recorder has established communication with your
bridge and you cannot capture transaction data, use the
simulation mode (refer to Section 5.2.1 System Menu,
page 18) to send sample transactions to the recorder.

4. Check the COM port settings in the bridge. If the
transaction data is being recorded, but displays the wrong
characters, check the COM port settings. The language
setting in the bridge must be the same as the recorder
language setting. Refer to Section 5.2.1 System Menu,
page 18.

5. Check that the ATM/POS license is enabled in the
recorder, if necessary.
