The XP-series ATMs support TCP/IP communications with the transaction
processor.
TCPIP (Ethernet)
This method is used in applications where a central Local Area Network, or
LAN, is used to connect multiple ATMs to a central server. The ATM can be
treated as either a client or server on the network, while the server provides
the interface to a transaction processing system.

The ATM stores transaction records, status, and other activity data in a jour-
nal record that is stored in the ATM’s PC hard drive. The number of journal
entries that can be stored is only limited by how much memory is available
on the hard drive.
This information can be retrieved at a later date. When needed, just the infor-
mation desired can be recalled and a printout of those records can be made.
Journal entries may be viewed, printed, saved, and archived to the terminal
hard drive or to an external memory device.

A suite of close functions are provided to facilitate daily balancing of the ATM’s
internal record of transaction activity with the processor’s transaction records.
