Title: How to supervise Igt s+ mediating remote access??
Post by: ANDRIU on July 06, 2010, 09:28:41 PM
hello, I want to know if somebody knows as supervising igt S+ by means of remote access. I had listened on protocol SAS, but I don't have documentation on this. I appreciate any answer  :131-

You can't "remote manage" an S+ but you can get an old ProLink (CDS) and it will give you  accounting information, etc. Hope that is what you were looking for?

I hooked up a CDS Prolink from a small group of 4 machines to my desktop computer.
The CDS Prolink can handle up to unlimited amount of machines.
However, the cabling required to accomplish this would be a tremendous undertaking.
Basically, all it does is give you real-time coin-in statistics of each machine and tallies it all up...nothing more.

If you want the real stuff for a live casino and have the proper paperwork -
get a hold of Bally or IGT for your backroom machine "access"needs.
They will help you with the equipment you need to get it up and running.
I'd get an estimate first though... :96-

SAS as I understand it runs across RS422

Theoretically you could use some commerically available RS422 remote extenders.

Here is a wireless one with up to 1 mile.

However you can get adapters and run them across a network / vpn to another site etc......

How can I link with a system SAS? Do you have some information of systems SAS in IGT S+ that offers me? Thank you for their answer

SAS is a proprietary protcol by IGT.
You need a CMS (casino management system) that is designed to link a number of slots.
These systems also facilitate EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) so you can use a voucher with the bill validator and have the CAS database validate the ticket and apply credits.

I am personally interested in gettting one for my basement.... but have never ever seen one available for sale new or used. It is my understanding these are leased and not sold to Casinos so even in a shutdown situation they don't come up for sale.

I know we have had a few members try and link into the slots in this manner but have not heard of anyone being succesful...

Do you have the RS485 board ? You need this to interface to the machine.

Look up the thread on Home Brew EFT
This is a good place to start for protocols and programming.
