Enable offline operation
The terminals are capable of operating completely offline from Supervisor Net. This is sometimes
required in situations where there isn’t the network infrastructure to cope with a fully online system.
Offline operation is achieved by sending Primary, Secondary and Disbursement records down to
the terminals ahead of time and then periodically re-connecting the terminal to Supervisor to unload
the transactions that have accumulated during the offline period.
When the terminal is operating offline, it behaves exactly like a terminal in online mode.
Because the terminals are independent of each other, there are no balance or account restrictions
other than a maximum transaction limit per primary per terminal.
