Connecting to Kiosk III/IV

The Kiosk III/IV connects through either USB or Serial Interface (COM).

Connect with USB:

The Kiosk III/IV uses USB-HID (Human Interface Device) and does not need any vendor-specific drivers. Simply by plugging into an available USB port makes it available for SDK connectivity. To inform the SDK you are using the USB interface of the Kiosk III/IV, you would execute the following command during program initialization to establish a connection:

IDT_KioskIII.useUSB();

Connect with Serial Interface (COM)

The Kiosk III/IV can connect via Serial Interface. The serial port settings are as follows:

  • Speed: 19,200
  • Bits: 8
  • Stop Bit: 1
  • Parity: None

To inform the SDK you are using the Serial Interface of the Kiosk III, you would execute the following command during program initialization to establish a connection by passing the correct COM port number. In the following example, we are connecting to COM1 SRED device:

IDT_KioskIII.useSerialPort(1, true);
