POS Access Service Configuration 97

■Avoiding the dial-up time problem and fast connecting to the transaction processing center.

■Reducing the number of occupied communication links, hence saving the communications cost greatly.

■Avoiding the problem of service queuing as it is as though each POS terminal device enjoys a dedicated line (except the networking is comprised of the POS terminal and the POS concentrator).

■The POS access feature can be combined with other services of the router, i.e., dumb terminal, SNA, and VoIP, which brings a wide market and provides users with integrated solutions.

POS Access Service Configuration

POS access service configuration includes:

■Enable POS access server

■Configure POS access port

■Configure POS application interface

■Configure POS application

■Configure POS multi-application map

■Bind the source address of TCP connection

1Enable POS Access Server

To implement the POS access service, the POS access server must first be started. Please perform the following configuration in system view.

Table 72 Start POS server

Operation	Command
Enable POS access server	pos-server enable
Disable POS access server	undo pos-server enable

By default, the system disables the POS access server.

2Configure POS Access Port

Only configured as a POS access port can the interface provide POS access service.

At present, the interfaces of the 3Com Router series, which can be used for POS access service, include the asynchronous interface, AUX port, the synchronous/asynchronous interface, and the FCM interface.

Please perform the following configuration in asynchronous interface view or FCM interface view.

Table 73 Configure POS access port

Operation	Command
Configure the POS access interface	async mode pos pos-id

By default, the asynchronous interface and FCM interface operate in protocol mode, that is, no POS access port is configured.

Only when the active interface operates in protocol mode can the command be configured.
