1. GENERAL PRODUCT DISCRIPTION
Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless ICE terminal in its current manifestation will take the
standard POS transaction to the customer without the customer losing sight of his/her
credit/debit/smart card. It will reduce the transaction time required by the vendor to run a
card back and forth between the customer and the central POS terminal. The results of
which are increased customer convenience, security and satisfaction, as well as reduced
processing cost to the merchant.
Features present on the ICE unit are as follows:
1. Signature Capture/Graphics Display. A touch screen display is used to allow a soft key menu
and signature capture to be utilized. The Display contains 160 by 80 pixels which allows
graphical use.
2. Keypad. A twelve key keypad is present on the unit containing the standard numeric numbers
zero through nine. The last two keys are “CLEAR” and “ENTER”.
3. Battery Powered. Ice is capable of running on an internal battery or a 8-12Volt source
providing power through the RJ11 port if tethered to a T7 terminal, LP3 loader or other device.
The wireless unit is NOT designed to be used in a tethered mode. The unit will power up
automatically when power is provided through the RJ11. There is a push button power switch
located on the ICE for running on internal battery power.
4. Credit Card Reader. There is a standard track one and track two card reader located on ICE.
5. Smart Card Reader. There is a standard Smart/Memory Card reader located on the side of the
unit.
6. SIMMs. Three SIMLocks are located on the bottom of the ICE unit for Vendor Mondex use.
The ICE wireless uses an FXI01 900MHz radio transceiver board. This allows the ICE to
be portable and the POS transaction can then take place wherever the card users may be.
The ICE terminal communicates the transaction data via a 900MHz signal to a host
terminal, which in turn communicates to a network. Once the transaction has been
approved, the host terminal will inform the customer of the approval via the ICE unit
display. Data encryption is provided by the host POS terminal and ICE device.
Hypercom’s ICE 900MHz wireless system will consist of the following items:
1. HOST TERMINAL. This may be any of Hypercom’s POS terminal product with a PIN PAD
port, and an external communication port (LAN or telephone), using the appropriate software
such as T7, T7P, T77, T5000.
2. TERMINAL TRANSCRIVER INTERFACE. Hypercom model FTI 01 or for use with a single
terminal transceiver, an adapter cable, Hypercom P/N: 810170-001.
3. TERMINAL TRANSCEIVER(S). Hypercom model FXV 01.
4. CUSTOMER PREMISIS WIREING. (If required.)
5. ICE TERMINAL. This must be an ICE wireless terminal with an FXI01 board and wireless
software installed.

2. OPERATION
Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface system is designed to be
transparent to the user. The peripheral POS terminal device operation using the wireless
POS terminal interface system is identical to its operation when the connection is through
a cable between a peripheral POS terminal device and a host POS terminal.
Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface system utilize radio transmitters
and receivers certified in accordance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
regulations, (CFR 47 Part 2 and Part 15) for use within the industrial, scientific, and
medical band of frequencies between 902 MHz and 928 MHz.
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.
OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS:
(1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND
(2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED,
INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.

Operational distance between a terminal transceiver and a peripheral POS terminal is
greatly affected by their environment. Obstructions such as walls and furniture as well as
outside interfering signals may reduce the operational range. Software communication
protocols have been implemented with in Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless POS terminal
interface system that should reduce these effects.
2.1 BASIC CONFIGURATION
The example in figure 1 shows the basic configuration. The system was designed for a
communication distance of from the terminal transceiver to the peripheral terminal device
of less than 100 feet. Minimizing the coverage area reduces the possibility of creating
interference to other communications systems sharing the same radio spectrum, a violation
of FCC regulations. The short range design also reduces the chance of interference from
outside sources.
