Reduced Communications Costs

The ICE 4000 terminals reduce transaction costs by taking advantage of recent advances in
communications and networking technology. Using an optional modem, the savings are
generated through short dial-up online times, local area networking, and concentration using the
Hypercom regional Network Access Controller (NAC) or Integrated Enterprise Network (IEN),
reducing long distance costs and improving network economics. These terminals actively
interface through the Hypercom NAC or IEN with SNA, X.25, and BISYNC networks already in
place.

Networking Efficiency

The ICE 4000 terminals are totally compatible with the Hypercom family of network equipment
(NAC and IEN), providing end-to-end network optimization and concentration to keep
communication costs low.

Term-Master

The ICE 4000 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.The ICE 4000 terminals support on-screen advertising and can
print custom receipt headers and footers. Screen images are downloaded through ICE-PAC and
Term-Master Suite.
Using the FastCom modem, a merchant can install the ICE 4000 wireless terminal through the
menu-driven procedure that identifies the telephone line profile for tone or pulse, or PABX
access code . The terminal prompts for the telephone numbers for initialization and network
management, and prompts for a unique terminal identification number with a check digit.
