VSAT
The VSAT connection type is used with ATMs that support satellite-based communica-
tions. VSAT supports a wide range of communications protocols.
RadioPad
This is a wireless communication method used primarily in countries where an infrastructure
of wired telephone service is not used or is unavailable, and functions as the equivalent of a
dial-up telephone system.
DATAPAK
The DATAPAK protocol enables the ATM to interface with designated DATAPAK inter-
mediaries (in the Canadian market region), who in turn provide connectivity to the appropri-
ate transaction processor. DATAPAK connectivity is typically faster and more cost-effec-
tive than a direct dial-up connection between the ATM and the transaction processor.
NOTE: This feature is only available for use in the Canadian market.
TCP/IP (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. Each ATM is treated as a client node on the
network, while the server provides the interface to a transaction processing system.
