There are couple different pinouts out there so be careful. Here is a link to TIA-561 that seems to be a bit more common than others:

It might be necessary to get pin-out's of both devices and be sure the adapter and Cat 5 is wired correctly.

Some Cat 5 to D 25 or D 9 pin adapters come with the wires loose and you can arrange them any way you need to.

Hopefully you have the instruction manuals for the cash register and the DVR

In some cases you would run the wires "straight through" connection to connection (like computer to modem), in other cases you would need to "cross" the connections and tie some wires together such as computer to computer wiring. Following is some info...

Thanks. It turns out the boss ordered some cables today from American Video Equipment, before I got to submit my order. I'll try it his way first. What I plan on doing is connecting my laptop right to the cash register first with a USB to Serial interface and use Hyperterm to make sure the data is clean. Then I'll use the laptop at the DVR end after the connections are done to verify data before hooking up to the DVR. I'm new to POS integration so this is gonna be fun.

AVE makes VSI Pro (among others) interface which they configure for virtually every cash register you're likely to see. You usually need the VSI PRO and a cable, plus a data converter. The converters mostly cost the same as the cables. The VSI PRO is more but it's a no-brainer to set up.

Here's a chart of register makes and models with the AVE parts.
