Example:
To use an external pay unit 0 (Ext0) connected to the “Vending MDB” port on the CWT add the element below to the config. Please note that this requires a defined PAYUNIT tag for Ext0!
<PAYUNITPROTOCOL name="Ext0" port="Com3" com="MDB"/>
Adding the tag below selects the binary coded interface for a pay unit.
This is only supported in CWT 104/Compact Classic. |
<PAYUNITPROTOCOL name="Coin" type="BIN" />
