The MixForward utility routes the data packages received from POS-terminals to the IP-address and port of a POS-server according to the settings in the configuration file. Moreover, the utility performs connection between POS-Server and remote Server presenting data.

Note

The IP-address and port number of the POS-server are determined using the routing id specified in the data package.


Note

The MixForward utility also enables the routing of the data packages received from the metal detectors.

The utility runs as a regular executable file located in the <POS-Intellect program folder>\ Modules\ Pos\ Forwarders\ folder.

The utility converts data from POS-terminals to XML format using the dynamic library plug-in. The plug-ins connected to the utility are located in the <POS-Intellect program folder>\Modules\ Pos\ Forwarders\Protocols folder. The protocol in use is set by the ProtocolName parameter in the mixforward.exe.xml file (see Setting up the MixForward utility).

The utility receives the data from POS-terminals using the following protocols:

  1. RS-232;
  2. UDP;
  3. TCP/IP.

The packages are forwarded to the IP-address and port of POS-server using the TCP/IP protocols.
