Implementing New POS software to the Chain Store |
| |
In a big chain store, getting Point-of-Sale (POS) equipment to work cohesively together can be a real challenge. With each device
requiring a dedicated point-to-point connection, installation can be expensive, and devices can be difficult to maintain and costly
to service. |

Their current software is run on various operating systems from Win98 to XP. They even still have a few customers running their
DOS software. With all of these variations, they wanted a solution that would fulfill their needs across the board in order to add
simplicity to their support.
SUNIX device servers allow you to attach all of your POS devices to a common network connection. Device networking overcomes
the limitations of serial connections, enabling POS devices to share information across the network without a dedicated server,
providing greater scalability, significant cost savings, and more effective customer service. |

“When we arrived, the support specialist verified that he understood our needs and had already prepared a list of different scenarios
we were going to try,” explained Avilla. “We together did a lot of testing. We even spoke directly with the product engineer at SUNIX
about the underlying functionality of the device. At the end of the day, we had a reliable working solution, and had formed a real
partnership with SUNIX.” |

The SUNIX device server provides the powerful ability to IP-enable serial devices allowing more options for data acquisition, device
management, and industrial control. It includes a processor, operating system, TCP/IP stack, Web server and a network connection
to provide a complete serial-to-Ethernet bridge. Using the embedded Internet protocols and a connection to an IP network, it
encapsulates the serial data into packets and sends and receives it over an Internet or Intranet connection. |
