Typical retail/POS system applications include cash registers, barcode scanners, pole displays, keypads, credit card readers, and receipt printers. Depending on the environment, either commercial PCs or industrial PCs are used to connect to the above serial devices. However, due to the number of devices involved at each station, it is necessary to expand the number of COM ports for the PCs at each station.
Since reliability and a competitive price are the two key factors that retail/POS customers consider, MOXA Smartio multiport serial boards, with their Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003 certification, low cost, and high performance, outrank products from all other major multiport serial product manufacturers. In addition, Moxa provides USB-to-serial hub solutions that can be used to expand the number of COM ports for retail and POS applications.
