Appendix F. TRANZport 232

Introduction

Unpacking
The TRANZport 232 provides the VeriFone OMNI and TRANZ families of
terminals (including the PNC
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.
Carefully inspect the shipping carton and its contents for any damage that
may have occurred during shipment. If the TRANZport 232 is damaged,
immediately file a claim with the shipping company or carrier and notify
VeriFone, Inc. Do not use damaged equipment.
