3G, GPRS, and
GPS Support
The terminal uses the Cinterion PHS8-P radio module. This module provides
wireless connectivity using HSPA+ technology. The PHS8-P radio module is
optimized for high bandwidth and allows a downlink speed of 14.4 Mbps and an
uplink speed of 5.7 Mbps.
GPS Receiver
The Cinterion PHS8-P radio module on VX 690 integrates a GPS receiver that
offers the full performance of GPS/A-GPS technology, allowing customers to
implement geo-fencing applications.
3G/GPRS
Allows for a wider range of communication for wireless transaction payment using
the available operator-provided 3G infrastructure.
Bluetooth
Support
VX 690 uses the Bluetooth Base Station. Up to seven devices can be registered
with the same communications device, but only one transaction may be
undertaken at a time. It is recommended that not more than three terminals be
paired with a base station.
The terminal and the Bluetooth base station are both Class 1 Bluetooth devices
providing secure radio communication up to 100 meters, unobstructed. The
terminal may be registered (paired) with more than one base station. It must be
paired to secure the communication. Using the standard menu options provided in
Verix Commserver, the terminal may easily be switched among paired devices.
Any number of terminals may be paired with a single base station but the base
station is only able to relay a single transaction at any one time. When more than
three terminals are required, it is recommended that additional base stations be
suitably positioned on site to obtain maximum radio coverage.
Performing a
Wireless
Transaction
To conduct a wireless transaction, ensure that the terminal is in optimal position
for transmitting. Follow the onscreen instructions provided by the application.
WARNING
Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it not to
work properly. Use only a power pack with P/N PWR260-001-XX-A. See
Specifications for detailed power supply specifications.
Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the terminal
outdoors. Also, disconnecting power during a transaction can cause unstored
transaction data files to be lost.
NOTE
The terminal can only communicate to a base station to which it is paired.
