The VeriFone Commander™ Site Controller is a high-powered server that
increases the capacity and functionality of VeriFone’s Ethernet-capable Point of
Sale (POS) workstations by extending the processing and communications
bandwidth for managing peripherals.
Future needs are designed into the hardware to provide support for additional
serial ports and PCI boards along with additional fan and/or power connections
that may be needed as a result. Use of these expansion capabilities will be
determined by VeriFone.
System peripherals, such as fuel dispensers, dispenser card readers (DCRs), and
car wash controllers connect directly to the Commander Site Controller.
Site Management Suite (SMS) provides additional functionality with four
separate software modules:
■
Journal Browser
■
Configuration Client (for browser-based configuration)
■
Transaction Manager
■
Report Navigator
