Network Peer Protocol Type

Non-Secure Protocols for Private Networks

Raw TCP
Establish a simple network connection with no additional processing.
Simple POS Terminal Protocols
Establish a pass-through connection with a payment authorization server that communicates directly with a local POS terminal.
Converted POS Terminal Protocols
Convert POS terminal packets to a network-based transaction protocol. Dial-up behavior is emulated for the local POS terminal.

SSL-Secured Protocols for Internet Connections

Secure TCP
Establish a secured, encrypted network connection with the remote peer.
Secured Simple POS Terminal Protocols
Establish a secured, pass-through connection with a payment authorization server that communicates directly with a local POS terminal.
Secured Converted POS Terminal Protocols
Convert POS terminal packets to a secure network-based transaction protocol. Dial-up behavior is emulated for the local POS terminal.

Dialup Peer Protocol Type

Raw Data
Establish a simple dialup connection with no additional processing.
EchoSat SPG CPNI
Converts legacy CPNI packets to EchoSat SPG Gateway for dialup hosts.

RBS Lynk Single Threaded Protocol (local health check processing)
Convert network transactions to RBS Lynk single-threaded dialup format. Health checks sent by the terminal are answered locally by the NDS/1000.
RBS Lynk Multi Threaded Protocol
Convert network transactions to RBS Lynk multi-threaded dialup format.
RBS Lynk Multi Threaded Protocol (local health check processing)
Convert network transactions to RBS Lynk multi-threaded dialup format. Health checks sent by the terminal are answered locally by the NDS/1000.
NBS Serial and IP Conversion (auto detection of terminal LF/LRC)
Convert NBS serial or IP packets to legacy asynchronous dialup host format.
NBS Serial and IP Conversion (always send LF to terminal)
Convert NBS serial or IP packets to legacy asynchronous dialup host format.
Simple POS Terminal Protocols
Establish a pass-through connection with a payment authorization server that communicates directly with a local POS terminal.
