1 Introduction
The Windcave Host Initiated Transaction (HIT) solution is a web facing HTTPS service that permits control of a pay-
ment transaction on a Windcave terminal.
There is no requirement of a direct physical connection between the Point of Sale (POS) application and the
Windcave terminal. All required software is on the Windcave Terminal and Host. All messages are sent online via the
internet to create an end-to-end cloud-based payment solution.
The terminal can be connected online to a modem or router directly. However if required the HIT enabled terminal
can be connected to a POS’s PC as well to share the internet connection from the PC, in that case the POS’s PC
needs to have an SCR Controller software installed. For further details please refer to section 3 - Congurations.
