The world wide web has created new opportunities for delivering financial services. By taking advantage of
advances in processors, software standards, and customer requests for ever-increasing sophistication,
Triton has set the standard in ATM features and performance with the FT7000
XP ATM that feature Win-
dows based ATM applications and Internet compatibility. The Windows-based application is standard on
the FT7000
XP . By building the ATM application software to run under the Windows XP operating system,
Triton offers truly open-ended, object oriented, software and hardware architecture from which to develop
and deliver new features and functions.
These new open-ended solutions can take advantage of advances in telecommunications and, at the same
time, tap into the vast opportunities of the Internet and Web-based applications. In addition, financial
institutions can conceivably run commercially available software on an ATM. A financial institution can
also connect its ATMs to their central server where they may select which bank services to deliver to
selectively located ATMs. In addition, they may tie into their central data warehouse to deliver targeted
marketing messages and personalized service directly to their consumers at the ATM.
The software architecture preserves current legacy systems while providing a bridge to new technology
advantages. With this approach, Triton protects your investment in current and future ATMs.
In addition, because transactions can be performed from a centralized database, the bank can consolidate
alternative delivery of banking services and, at the same time, realize economies of scale by developing
applications which offer a consistent look and feel whether accessed at an ATM or on a home computer.

The FT7000 XP has a large 15" color display with graphics and easy-to-read text. An optional voice
guidance unit can play messages from a library of pre-recorded messages to help consumers use the ATM.
A financial institution can offer consumers a choice of languages for consumer displays and voice guid-
ance messages.
For maximum security, the ATMs operate on line under the control of a host computer or central controller.
The communication interface supports the TCP/IP and SNA/SDLC communication protocols. The host
controls the transaction sequences through configuration control parameters and screen libraries loaded
into the ATM before normal operation begins. Typically, the host downloads the parameters and libraries
to the ATM over communication lines in a series of messages. The Configuration toolset can be used to
develop configuration data and screen libraries on a personal computer and create files to load into the
ATM.
