About the VX Terminal
The VX Terminal introduced to the POS market by Quest Retail Technology harnesses the latest in Wireless and
TCP/IP POS technology within a robust stainless steel casing making it ideal for environments that aren't easily
cabled. The VX Terminal is ideal for sites who like to "think outside the square".
Completely portable, the VX Terminal can be purchased with a variety of options including Battery, integrated
Receipt Printer, Card Swipe etc and can be customized to suit all ranges of operations. Containing just one Serial
Port, it is possible to split this port using a CAB-DPA into both ComPort 1 and 2, providing support for a variety of
peripherals.
Upon purchasing a VX Terminal it is necessary to first program the unit and this document has been designed to
guide the user through this process.
Please ensure before progressing that the packaging containing your unit consists of the following;
1 x VX Terminal (refer to the sticker located under the base of the unit for Model # details)
1 x Power Pack
1 x Battery
1 x RJ45 Coupler
1 x Wireless Bridge Installation CD and Manual
NOTE: Although one is not provided with the unit, a standard "Cross Over" cable will be required to perform the
configuration process. Such a cable can be purchased directly from Quest if required

Understanding the VX Hardware
How to program and configure a VX Terminal
It is recommended for the purpose of this exercise that you remove the PC that will be used to program your VX
Terminal/s from the Network. Although this is not entirely necessary, and the programming can be done whilst the
PC is still on the network, the steps below assume that the PC has been removed from the network.
Preparing the hardware for configuration
1.
Remove the VX Terminal from the box in which it was received. Remove the tape from the
Antenna at the top left of the unit and extend the antenna vertically
2.
Turn the unit over so the keypad membrane is facing downwards. Connect the white connector
socket to the battery pack, placing the Battery pack within the cavity at the top of your VX unit,
pushing it towards the rear and securing the push screw tightly
NOTE: It is important to have charged the battery pack for 48 hours prior to achieve full power
capacity prior to installing it within your VX Terminal
3.
Remove the black cable connected to the Ethernet socket on the VX Terminal. Connect the RJ45
Coupler connector provided with the VX Terminal to the end of this black cable and attached the
"cross over" patch lead mentioned above. Connect the opposite end of the patch lead to the
Network socket at the rear of your PC
