The MixForward utility routes the data packages received from POS-terminals to the IP address and port of the POS server in accordance with the settings specified in the configuration file. In addition, the utility allows you to establish a connection between a POS Server and a remote Server providing data.
The utility can receive the data packages from POS-terminals via the following network interfaces:
- RS-232;
- UDP;
- TCP/IP.
The received packages are forwarded to the IP address and port of the POS server via the TCP/IP interface.
Note
- The IP-address and port number of the POS-server are determined using the routing id specified in the data package from the POS-terminal.
- The MixForward utility also allows routing of data packages received from metal detectors.
- The MixForward utility works with Intellect and Axxon One.
The MixForward utility is launched using the MixForward.exe executable file located in the <POS Intellect installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\ folder.
The utility converts data from POS-terminals to XML protocol using the dynamic library plug-ins. These plug-ins are located in the <POS Intellect installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\ folder.
Note
The protocol in use is set by the ProtocolName parameter in the mixforward.exe.xml file (see Setting up the MixForward utility).
Plug-in settings files are located in the <POS Intellect installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Settings\ folder.
Transformation files are located in the <POS Intellect installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Transformations\ folder.
If logging is enabled, the log files will be located in the <POS Intellect installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Logs\ folder.
Temporary files created by some plug-ins will be located in the <POS Intellect installation directory>\Modules\Pos\Forwarders\Protocols\Temp\ folder.
