Standard Features of the Transaction Team 8500
The Transaction Team 8500 has a long list of standard features, including:
RS-232/RS-485/USB/Ethernet Connectivity
• RS-232, RS-485, USB, and Ethernet are supported by the TT8500. The
system auto-configures to the correct protocol when attached to the
appropriate cable.
LCD Panel
• Pressure-sensitive backlit LCD/Signature panel that displays the
signature using "electronic ink."
Standard Memory
• 16MB to 64MB of SDRAM memory and 4MB to 16MB of Flash memory.
Physical Security
• Opening the device immediately erases all secure information.
Encryption
• PIN Encryption, Master Session key, DUKPT, DES 64 and 128 bit, single
and triple DES.
Compression
• Advanced data compression capability. Standard 5 to 1.
Card Reader
• 3 track Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) for use in credit, debit, and
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT).
Pass-Through
• Pass-through allows data to be automatically routed from one
communications interface to another, essentially acting as a universal
translator. This allows peripheral devices to be connected to hosts that
do not necessarily support their native communications interface. Pass-
through operations are transparent to both the host and peripheral device.
