C-15
To prevent unauthorized access, the default password should be
changed to a confidential password as soon as the terminal is
deployed. The new password should be kept in a safe place, as it is
impossible to restore the terminal’s default password without sending
the unit to VeriFone for service.
Telephone Download. The process of transferring an application
program and/or data from a remote host or download computer to a
terminal over a telephone line.
Telephone Jack. Also, ‘telephone line wall jack’. You insert a
modular connector into a telephone jack, or receptacle. Also,
modular-type sockets for connecting telephone line cords. The Omni
3200 has two RJ45-type telephone jacks on its back panel: The
‘Telset’ jack is used for a pass-through connection and the ‘Telco’
jack is used for a direct connection to a telephone line wall jack.
Telephone Line. The standard telephone wiring connecting your
phone or terminal to a local or private telephone company.
Terminal. Any device capable of sending and receiving data over a
data communications channel, such as a telephone line or a RS-232
cable. Some terminals, such as the Omni 3200, can print receipts and
display information and graphics on a screen.
Terminal ID. An alphanumeric code that identifies a terminal to a
download computer. In this way, the download computer can
determine what data or application programs to download to that
terminal. For ZONTALK downloads, the Omni 3200 terminal ID is
stored in the *ZT record in the CONFIG.SYS file. This variable
should not exceed 10 characters in length. Compare with ‘Permanent
Terminal ID’.
Terminal Parameters. Parameters that relate to a specific terminal.
Some terminal parameters are stored as data in keyed file records in
the terminals CONFIG.SYS file. See ‘Parameter’.
