communication protocol
The touchscreen consoles P62, P80, and P82) use a security token for communication to
the Precor servers. The security token is a hash string that is sent with every API call from
the FE’s to the Amazon Cloud. The security token originates after the equipment is
registered at the location. The console issues a ‘Call’ which returns the registration token
and the fitness equipment URL. Every event after that uses the URL and the token to val-
idate/authenticate communication with the Amazon servers and Preva Business Suite
(PBS).
All communication with Precor servers is currently done via outgoing (originating from the
console) HTTPS sessions. The console utilizes
NTP

to set its clock and for syn-
chronization. At no time is Precor connecting to the customers facility network to "push" any
data. The console initiates all data requests.
Equipment Spacing Requirement
The minimum side to side spacing between treadmills is 23.6 in (0.6 m) and the minimum
front to back spacing is 79 in (2 m).
1
Local Area Network: A communications network that serves users within a local geo-
graphical area, typically over distances of around 100m. Wireless LANs use wireless com-
munications to network devices so there is no need for data cabling.

Preva Business Suite
3
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between
computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
