User Manual
Switch Settings as shown above are:
• Camera Number 1 (SW1 5-8)
• Generic Printer (SW3 1-8)
• PB3 Termination OFF (SW4 3)
Detailed Installation Steps
Note: Modify the DVMRe’s default baud rate of 19200 to 57600.
1) At the minimum set or verify the DIP Switch settings for the
Camera Number, PB3 Termination, and the type of serial device.
2) Disconnect the existing serial device cable from the Printer and install the ECR Interconnect Cable (multiple DB25 connectors) to the serial device as shown on page 14.
Note: If the existing connection is using a DB9 to DB9 connection, then use the supplied Triport cable in place of the ECR Interconnect cable.
See the Triport cable specification on page 45.
3) Reconnect the serial device Cable to one of the DB25F connectors on the ECR Interconnect Cable as shown on page 14.
4) Connect the PB3 Interface Cable (DB25M to DB9F) to the remaining DB25F connector on the ECR Interconnect
Cable as shown on page 14. Connect the other end
(DB9F) to the DB9M connector on the PB3 unit (Port 2).
5) Connect the PB3 Power Supply to the unit, but do not plug in the power.
Note: If only one (1) PB3 unit (one cash register) is to be connected, skip to Step 9 below.
6) If more than one cash register interface is to be installed repeat steps 1-4 above for each additional cash register.
7) Connect each PB3 unit together by using an RS485 cable with RJ-45 connectors on each end. Connect to either receptacle on Port 0 to interconnect the PB3 units using an “in” and “out” method. (For details on the RS485 cable, review the cable specifications).
Note: The installer shall provide this cable.
8) Confirm that each PB3 has the proper termination setting.
9) Connect the PB3 closest to the DVMRe using the supplied cable from Port 1 (RJ45 outer receptacle) of the PB3 to the RS232/2 port on the DVMRe unit.
Note: Modify the DVMRe’s default baud rate of 19200 to 57600.
10) Supply power to the PB3.
Verify Operation
To verify proper operation process several transactions at
the Cash Register.
To verify proper operation with a DVMRe-CT, eZT, or
StoreSafe unit:
Select full-screen on the Main Monitor (A) the camera associated with a PB3 unit. Press the camera button until the text box window appears in the display.
The text box will display any transaction data as it is passed to the PB3 unit from the POS device. Be aware that some POS devices only send transaction data until the end of the transaction (when the receipt is printed).

User Manual
Demo Mode (Simulated Message)
This setting permits the PB3 to send a simulated POS transaction message to the DVMRe/Triplex. This is useful for troubleshooting or for demonstrating PB3 functionality without having a POS device connected. As a troubleshooting tool, this element allows you to verify that the PB3 is able to send messages and have the DVMRe correctly capture data coming from the PB3. In this mode, if text can be received and displayed, yet when attempting to process ECR data fails, then some other problem exists with respect to the ECR connection
(cabling) or interface setup.
Reset (Clear Memory)
This is primarily a troubleshooting tool that allows the user to clear the non-volatile memory of all settings. This will restore all factory defaults as a first step to reconfiguring the unit.
Auto Line Feed
This option has been added to allow the insertion of Auto Line
Feeds when a new line character is detected in Generic mode.

User Manual
Triport Cable
The Triport cable is used for tapping serial RS-232 ports available on most POS cash registers. The Tri-Port does not interfere with any signals between the POS and the printer (if there is an external printer connected).
For installation, do the following:
1. Remove the DB9 printer connector at the POS (if an external printer is connected).
2. Install the Triport connector (printed circuit board) into the vacated POS connector.
3. Connect the DB9 printer connector to the Triport.
4. Connect the Triport cable (gray cable w/DB-9S) to the
PB3.
NOTE1: If a printer was not attached to the POS, it may be necessary to enable the serial port on the POS. Program the POS for a printer setting.
NOTE2: If the POS uses a DB-25 serial connector, use two “DB-25 to DB-9” adaptors. These adaptors are readily available most electronic stores.
Hardware Handshake Jumpers JP1 and JP2
For a POS system with an external printer connected, remove the JP1 and JP2 jumpers.
For a POS system without a printer, it may be necessary to jumper one or both JP1/JP2.
• JP1 shorts pins 7 and 8 (RTS/CTS)
• JP2 shorts pins 4 and 6 (DTR/DSR)
Triport Cable Modifications
In some cases, it may become necessary to modify the wiring of the Triport cable. It is recommended that only trained technicians modify the Triport. Modifications are limited to only the removal of the orange or blue wire. Removing both wires or re-attaching these wires to other solder points may disrupt communications between the POS device, printer, and/or the
PB3.
Ref: The orange wire carries signals from the transmit signal of the cash register.
Ref: The blue wire carries signals from the transmit signal of the printer.
