Configuration Options 44
Secondary Mask
During Auto Accept mode, a mask can be defined to help ensure that a valid Secondary number
has been entered. The mask format is the same as used by the ‘Primary Extra Input Mask’.
Communications Tab
Auxiliary Serial Port
Sets the baud rate of the Aux port on the terminal. Either a speed can be chosen from the drop
down list, or it can be left on
No Change which allows you to define the rate on the terminal itself.
Initialisation String
An initialisation string can be programmed to be sent to the serial port on start up in order to
configure a modem or LIU unit etc.
Verify Timeout
This setting is in milliseconds. This is the amount of time that a Terminal will wait for a response
after sending a validation request. If this time elapses the Terminal will unload a zero priced
transaction to make sure any accounts that may have been validated are
unlocked , that is, able to
be used on another terminal. If it doesn’t receive a reply in this time, it will display the ‘Verify Fail’
message and return to the initial prompt.
Log Response Time
This is a Supervisor Net Network response time analysis tool. When this option is ticked
(ENABLED), all transactions have the response time tagged on to them, and the overall response
time can be examined to see the performance of the network. The Response Time is measured for
Primary Account Validations. It is stored in milliseconds in the transaction record.
Automatic Data Unload
Serial comms only, does not apply to TCP/IP. When ticked, this option instructs the Terminal to
automatically Unload (Send) Data to the Supervisor Net computer if the Terminal is in an Online
state. If this option is not ticked, data remains in the Terminal until the Supervisor Net computer asks
for it. The Default setting for this option is ticked (ON).
Offline User Message
The user will see this message if the terminal is offline or in another run mode such as Remote . If
the terminal is in Remote mode for connection to a print release station, this prompt would be
changed to
Select Print Job .
Offline Timeout
If the terminal is operating under serial communications rather than TCP-IP, this is the amount of
time the terminal will look for a polling signal from the server before displaying the Out Of Service
message.
Main Serial Port Baud Rate
The baud rate of the main serial port. Configured the same as Aux Port Baud Rate.
