  1. Check Hyperterminal result. If there is no text coming into Hyperterminal either, then it is likely that the POS is not sending out transactions via the specific serial/parallel port on the POS.
  2. If transactions do appear under Hyperterminal, then it is likely a connection or settings error.

    4. If Data Capture Box is connected via Ethernet, log in to Data Capture Box's web interface. Check under POS Data Monitor section to see if there is any data going into Data Capture Box.
      1. If there are transactions under POS Data Monitor, verify the IP address, port number, ID, and password under POS Device Setup in Multicam.
