Wireless Communications Installation
9 – Wireless Communications Installation
The primary reason to use wireless communications between TopKAT and the POS system is
to avoid the need of digging a trench and installing metal conduit for communication wires.
The wireless communications is accomplished by using a modem and antenna at each end
(
). The distance between the TopKAT and POS system can be up to 3 miles (4.8
kilometers).
The wireless communications option is NOT intended to provide, nor can it extend
communications between the following devices:
• Island Card Readers
• 9800 Series pumps/dispensers
• Gasboy PCUs
• other manufacturers’ electronic pumps
• credit card network communications
