Host Machine Interface
The P6X terminal series support several different interfaces to connect to your host machine.
Choosing an interface will largely depend on the interface that is supported by your machine,
and the preferred method of powering the terminal. Table 1 gives a summary of available
options.
The Multi Drop Bus is an industry standard interface for vending machines. If your
machine supports an MDB - Cashless Device, then this will require little effort to reach
a working solution, provided that the MDB standard is correctly implemented in your
machine. An advantage of MDB is that the interface also supplies power to the
terminal, requiring no additional power supply.
a P6X Terminal can be combined with the VendBox to enable “Executive Node”
functionality. The VendBox is sold separately from the terminal and acts as a
converter between Executive and MDB.
Potential
Free Pulse
Contact
A configurable potential free pulse contact is available to signal your application that
a payment transaction was successfully processed. In addition, an input port is
available to enable/disable the terminal, if for example the machine is out of order.
Although a Potential free pulse contact interface is widely used, there is no
standardization, and requires attention to electrical details before it can be used.
Remote Terminal Protocol, is used to control the terminal functionality from
anywhere on a LAN, or through USB, directly from your software application.
This message based protocol provides basic functionality for machine to payment
terminal communication, over an RS232 connection.
This message based protocol is used in certain coffee machines, and communicates
over RS232.

Internet Connection
For most applications, involving a P6X terminal, a stable internet connection is required, the
available options described in table 2.
a P6X Terminal can be connected to a LAN, through its onboard Ethernet port,
and connect to the Internet through the LAN.
In case there is no access to a LAN network a 3G/HSPA MODEM is optionally
available
