Setting Up an ATM/POS Data Format
The DX8000 allows you to create a data format for each ATM/POS device. You can assign a unique name to each data format. The data format
values determine how data from ATMs or POS terminals is interpreted. This information is used to separate the data stream into individual
transactions and separate the various fields within the transaction. Every field format must match that of the ATM or POS device, especially the
month format.
Access the Network page to configure the data format. For information on accessing the Network page, refer to Setting Up DX8000 Network
Access on page 143. For information about the Port/Device tab, refer to Setting Up Port and Device Communication Properties on page 147.
