8.3 Host Connections
The point of sale (POS) system, which can be comprised of the server, store controller, and
host devices, communicates with the Ingenico 6500 terminal through an RS-232 or RS-485
serial interface, Ethernet LAN, or USB, depending on the requirements of the host device
(typically a computer or ECR). Data is sent using one of these interfaces over a cable that
connects the host device to the Ingenico 6500 terminal.
The Ingenico 6500 terminal can connect directly to a cash register, computer, Ethernet
LAN, or RS485 LAN. Peripherals such as check readers and printers can be connected to
the AUX port.
Depending on your configuration, there are two to four communication ports.
The HOST port, which connects to POS terminals, can connect to the following protocols:
RS232, USB/PoweredUSB, RS485 IVI LAN protocol, or RS485 Tailgate protocol (North
America only).
The AUX port is RS232 for connecting an auxiliary device such as a printer or check
reader.
The E-NET port (Ethernet 10 base T, TCP/IP) is available on certain configurations.
The ITI port is for ISDN and is available in Germany.
Note: For instructions on making these connections, refer to the Ingenico 6500
Installation Guide.
