Networking Efficiency

The SmartICE terminals are totally compatible with the Hypercom family of Network Access
Controllers (NACs), providing end-to-end network optimization and concentration to keep
communication costs low.

Term-Master

The SmartICE terminals support parameter and software downloading. Parameter downloading
does not affect merchant totals due to the sophisticated architecture of the terminal. Term-
Master collects Management Information System (MIS) statistics and can be interrogated online
for speedy problem resolution. The PC-based Term-Master package supports software
download requests from terminals even when the PC is unattended, ensuring terminal software
is automatically kept up to date.
Using an optional modem, a merchant can install the SmartICE terminal through the menu-
driven procedure that identifies the telephone line profile (tone or pulse, PABX access code),
prompts for the telephone numbers for initialization and network management, and prompts for a
unique terminal identification number with optional check digit.
