Select the box beside Ignore String, and enter any strings of text that you want the DVR to ignore by using the virtual
keyboard to. Refer to the device manufacturer’s documentation for text strings that the device sends during transactions,
so you will know which ones you do not want recorded.
Select the Case Sensitive box to toggle between On and Off. Refer to the device manufacturer’s documentation to
determine if the text strings are Case Sensitive. If the device distinguishes between upper and lower case letters, make
certain the Case Sensitive box is turned On.
Select the box beside Time Out, and set the length of time to wait for the new text string. The DVR will consider a
transaction complete if no new text strings are entered between the last text input and the dwell time out. You can adjust
the Time Out dwell from 5 seconds to 15 minutes.
