Appendix F. TRANZport 232

Introduction

The TRANZport 232 provides the VeriFone OMNI and TRANZ families of terminals (including the PNCTM 330) the ability to communicate with two RS-232 serial devices instead of one. For example, suppose in addition to using a printer and a PINpad device, you wish to connect your TRANZ 460 to an external modem requiring an RS-232 compatible connection. Without the TRANZport 232, you would not be able to do so because of the RS-232 port limitation. However, using the two connectors on the TRANZport allows both the external modem and the printer to be connected at the same time.

Selecting between the two peripheral devices is controlled by the application running in the terminal. Using the above example during a typical transaction, the TRANZ 460 could select the external modem, make connection with the host, get the transaction authorization, and then instruct the printer to print out a receipt.

The TRANZport 232 is extremely compact and fits snugly behind your transaction terminal to save counter space. It also comes with its own power supply and necessary cables.
