port primer.
Step 2. Setup the ID address of PTI-100; please refer to ID address setting table.
Step 3. There are two ways of communication in transmitting POS text transaction data.
Via RS-485:
a. Plug the EX-400USB 4 ports RS-485 Interface into the DVR and connect the USB
cable into USB port of DVR. The Windows O.S. will show “ New hardware
found “ and request a driver. You can install the drivers from C:/XPDevice (For
AS and ASE series), C:/HSDevice (HS series) and C:/RDDevice (RD series).

b. Plug USB cable of PTI-100 into the USB port of POS system for power; or use the
DC5V power adapter into PTI-100.
c. Let S2 switch (8 Pin dip switch) ↓ON.
d. Using 4-wire/twisted pair cable to connect the RS-485 port between PTI-100 and
EX-400USB. Please make sure the port connection must be Y to Y; Z to Z; A to A;
B to B.
You can ignore the driver request of POS system when you use the RS-485 text transmission.
Via TCP/IP:
a. Repeat the same setup as for Via RS-485 in step “a”.
b. Plug USB cable of PTI-100 into the USB port of POS and then install the driver to
c. Let S2 switch (8 Pin dip switch) ↑OFF.
d. Install EZNetPOS.exe program into POS system from CD.
POS system from CD.
2. Operate POS Text Inserter System
While working in conjunction with PTI-100 POS text Inserter, the Witness XP surveillance
system can turn into a POS-DVR surveillance system, which helps you with tools to remotely
