Wireless POS Terminal Interface
This section applies only for the ICE 5000 terminal, this does not apply to the ICE 5500 terminal.
The ICE 5000, 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface system offers a high level of customer
convenience and reduces the time required to process a POS transaction. Because customers see the
process, they have control of the financial transaction and feel an added sense of security. The host
POS terminal and peripheral POS devices provide data encryption.
Function Blocks
The 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface consists of the following functional blocks:
n
Host terminal: This only applies to the ICE 5000.
n
Terminal transceiver interface: Hypercom model FTI01 or for use with a single terminal
transceiver, a Hypercom adapter cable, P/N 810170-001.
n
Terminal transceiver: Hypercom model FXV01.
n
Customer premises wiring: If required.
n
Peripheral terminal device: This may be any Hypercom POS terminal or POS terminal
accessory such as a PIN pad or signature capture device, with a compatible optional wireless
transceiver installed. An example is an ICE POS terminal with an optional FXI01 module and
appropriate software installed.
Operation
The ICE 5000 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface system is designed to be transparent to the
user. The peripheral device operates with a wireless POS terminal interface system in the same way as
when a cable connection exists between a peripheral POS device and a host POS terminal.
