The application mapping table stores the maps between the TPDU originator and destination addresses and the application template ID. With this table, the POS access device finds the correct application template according to the TPDU originator and destination addresses in a packet received from a POS terminal. Then, the device sends the packet to the FEP.

Instance

Instance includes POS terminal instance for the POS terminal connection and POS application instance for the POS application connection. It stores the connection information dynamically. Instances inherit the parameters configuration of a template.

· For a TCP access POS terminal template, a TCP connection is referred to as an instance for the terminal template, and a terminal template can have multiple instances.

· For a dial-up or flow access POS terminal, a physical link is referred to as an instance for the terminal template, and each terminal template can have only one instance.

· For a POS application template using TCP connection mode, a TCP connection is referred to as an instance for the application template, and an application template can have multiple instances.

· For a POS application using flow connection mode, a physical link is referred to as an instance for the application template, and each application template can have only one instance.

POS terminal access modes

A POS terminal can be connected to the POS access device through dial-up access, flow access, or TCP access.

POS dial-up access

The POS dial-up access procedure uses the following process:

1. A POS terminal detects a card operation.

2. The POS terminal synchronously or asynchronously dials up with the built-in modem to establish a connection to an AM interface or FCM interface on the router (the POS access device).

The Fast Connect Modem (FCM) card is designed for fast POS dial-up access. In synchronous dial-up mode, the FCM card can establish a dial-up connection for a POS terminal in a short time.

3. The router establishes a connection to the bank FEP directly or over a WAN.

The FEP is a remote Unix/Linux server that receives packets and sends replies to the POS terminal.

4. The POS terminal accesses the bank card accounting system over the connection.

Figure 1 Network diagram

POS flow access

In POS flow access mode, the router providing POS access service is located at the commercial client side and helps all POS terminals to access the router. Figure 2 shows a typical network diagram for the POS flow access mode.

The POS flow access mode has the following advantages:

· Over 10 km (6.21 mi) connection distance (with long-line drivers).

· Fast connection rate from POS terminals to the transaction center.

· Fewer occupied communication links and reduced communication costs.

· No service queuing because each POS terminal uses a dedicated line (except networks consisting of POS concentrator and POS terminals).

Figure 2 Network diagram

In POS flow access mode, the following methods are available for connecting a POS terminal to the router:

· Method 1—Directly connect the RS-232 interface of the POS terminal to the asynchronous interface (including the synchronous/asynchronous interface in asynchronous mode) on the router. If the connection distance is longer than 15 m (49.21 ft), you must equip each connection end with a long-line-driver to extend the connection distance.

The operating distance of a pair of passive long-line-drivers is typically about 1200 m (3937.01 ft).

· Method 2—Use multiple POS terminals and a POS concentrator. Connect the RS-232 interface of the POS concentrator to the asynchronous interface of the router.

The configurations for the egress interface of the router are the same for both methods. The second method saves interface resources.

POS TCP access

This mode is applicable to Ethernet POS terminal access. A POS terminal uses its Ethernet interface to connect to the Ethernet interface of the router or of the embedded switching module. In this mode, the router requests an internal transaction number for each packet received from a POS terminal. The router uses the internal transaction number to uniquely identify a connection request and its reply:

1. The router encapsulates the internal transaction number into the packet sent to the FEP.

2. The router extracts the internal transaction number from the reply packet and uses the number to find the corresponding POS terminal.

The POS TCP access mode has the following advantages:

· Long communication distance.

· Fast connection rate from POS terminals to the transaction center.

· Reduced workload on the FEP because not all POS terminals need to establish dedicated TCP/IP connections to the FEP.

Figure 3 Network diagram for POS TCP access

POS application template connection modes

A POS application template communicates with an FEP either through a TCP connection or a flow connection, depending on the connection mode of the FEP to the POS access device.

Upon receiving a packet from a POS terminal, the POS access device processes the packets as follows:

· Encapsulates the packet according to the connection mode of the corresponding POS application template.

· Sends the resulting packet to the FEP.

TCP connection mode

In TCP connection mode, a POS application template communicates with the FEP through a TCP connection. A POS application is identified by an IP address and a port number on the FEP.

The TCP connection modes for POS application templates include permanent TCP connection mode and temporary TCP connection mode.

· Permanent TCP connection mode—The router (POS access device) uses the same TCP connection for transactions of POS terminals. In this mode, a TCP connection does not actively terminate after being established. When a POS terminal sends transaction data to the router for the first time, the router establishes a TCP connection to the FEP, and transfers the data to the FEP through the TCP connection. After the first transaction completes, the TCP connection is maintained, and is used to transfer data from subsequent transactions.

· Temporary TCP connection mode—The router uses a separate TCP connection for each transaction of POS terminals. In this mode, a TCP connection is terminated when a transaction completes, and another TCP connection will be established for a new transaction.

Flow connection mode

In flow connection mode, a POS application template is bound to an asynchronous interface through commands. One application corresponds to one asynchronous interface.

Figure 4 Network diagram of POS application connections

Cascade mode of POS access devices

You can also connect POS terminals to POS access devices in cascade mode, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Cascade mode of POS access devices

In cascade mode, packets from POS terminals to the FEP are processed by Router A and then by Router B.

· For Router A, Router B acts as the FEP using TCP connection mode.

· For Router B, Router A acts as an Ethernet POS terminal device.

To use the cascade mode:

· Establish TCP connections between Router A and Router B.

· Use temporary or permanent TCP connection mode for POS applications on Router A.

TPDU

Transport Protocol Data Unit (TPDU) is a field in a POS packet. A TPDU header is five bytes in length and includes the following options:

· ID—One byte. It identifies the TPDU type. Typically, the correct packet type is 0x60. The incorrect packet type is 0x68.

· Destination Address—Two bytes, also called the Network International Identifier (NII). It indicates the destination address of the packet. Typically, the address is assigned by the transaction center to identify the FEP of a bank.

· Originator Address—Two bytes. It identifies the POS terminal device.

For the reply packet of a POS packet, the originator address and destination address in the TPDU header are reversed.

TPDU address change policy

Before the router forwards a packet from a POS terminal that uses TCP or FCM to an FEP, it changes an address in the TPDU field to a cookie. Upon receiving a response from the FEP, the router forwards the response to the corresponding POS terminal according to the cookie in the response.

FEPs require either the TPDU header's originator or destination address to change. Determine the TPDU address change policy according to the requirements of FEPs.

Router operation modes

The router may operate in transparent or nontransparent mode.

Transparent mode

In transparent mode, a POS terminal template directly forwards a packet received from a POS terminal to a specific POS application template without checking the packet format. The router then creates a dedicated TCP connection for the POS terminal in the POS application template.

POS terminals might send out packets that do not follow the TPDU format. You must use transparent mode to transmit this type of packets. Otherwise, the packets are discarded.

The transparent mode does not support the flow connection mode between a POS application template and an FEP.

The transparent mode supports FEP backup. For more information, see "FEP backup."

Nontransparent mode

In nontransparent mode, the router checks the format of each packet received from a POS terminal. If a packet does not follow the TPDU format, the router discards the packet. If a packet is valid, the router uses a POS application template based on the originator and destination addresses in the TPDU header. The router then sends the packet to an FEP according to the application template.

In nontransparent mode, the router can use the same TCP connection for multiple POS terminals to communicate with the FEP.

POS application mapping

The router uses the POS application mapping table to send packets from POS terminals to different FEPs. The router sends packets according to the originator address and destination address in the TPDU header of the packets.

The router must operate in nontransparent mode to implement POS application mapping. Figure 6 shows a typical example of application mapping.

Figure 6 POS application mapping (FEPs connected to the POS access device through Ethernet)

Sending caller IDs

Enable sending of caller IDs on the router for FEPs that use caller IDs in received packets to identify POS dial-up terminals. This feature is supported only for POS dial-up terminals that are connected to an AM or FCM interface on the router.

Upon receiving packets from a POS dial-up terminal connected to an AM interface, the router first sends the caller ID of the POS terminal to the FEP. After receiving a response from the FEP, the router forwards the packets to the POS terminal.

Upon receiving packets from a POS dial-up terminal connected to an FCM interface, the router adds the caller ID to the header of each packet before sending them to the FEP.

Configuring caller ID prefixes

This feature is supported only on the HMIM-1E1POS and DHMIM-1E1POS1DM interface modules.

This feature takes effect only after sending of caller IDs is enabled.

Configure this feature on the router so the FEP can identify locations of POS terminals by using the caller ID prefixes in received packets.

Sending caller IP addresses

Enable sending of caller IP addresses on the router if the FEP requires IP addresses of POS terminals. Upon receiving a packet from a POS terminal, the router adds the POS terminal's IP address to the packet header before sending the packet to the FEP. Then, the FEP can obtain the IP address of the POS terminal (the caller) from the packet.

POS terminal packet statistics

POS terminal statistics include the counts of received, sent, and error packets. The router can collect and classify the statistics based on source IP addresses, caller IDs, terminal templates, application templates, or FCM interfaces. You can view these statistics on the MIB platform.

Statistics based on source IP addresses

This method collects statistics for POS terminals using TCP access. When POS terminals transact with FEPs, the router counts the POS packets based on the terminal source IP addresses. You must specify the source IP statistical items for the statistics. The source IP or IP segments in the source IP statistical items can overlap each other or be the same. POS terminal packets that match multiple IP statistical items are counted for all the matched IP statistical items.

For example, the following are source IP statistical item definitions:

· A: Caller-IP = 192.168.0.0, mask = 255.255.0.0

· B: Caller-IP = 192.168.1.0, mask = 255.255.255.0

· C: Caller-IP = 192.167.0.0, mask = 255.255.0.0

When a POS terminal sends packets with source IP address 192.168.1.2, the packets are counted for both item A and item B.

Statistics based on caller IDs

This method collects statistics for POS terminals that do not use TCP access. When POS terminals transact with the FEPs, the router counts the packets based on the configured caller IDs. Only packets matching the caller IDs are counted.

For example, the following are caller ID definitions:

A: Caller-ID = 82770009

B: Caller-ID = 82770008

C: Caller-ID = 82770007

To be counted in B, POS terminal packets must have the caller ID 82770008.

Statistics based on terminal templates

This method collects statistics only for packets exchanged with POS terminals. The statistics include the counts for the following items:

· Received packets, sent packets, and error packets.

· Error packets due to application mapping failures.

· Discarded packets due to full buffer.

· Discarded packets due to link failures.

· Announce packets sent to POS terminals from the router.

Statistics collection for a terminal template applies to all instances that use the terminal template.

Statistics based on application templates

This method collects statistics only for packets exchanged with FEPs. The statistics include the counts for the following items:

· Received packets, sent packets, and error packets.

· Error packets due to distributing and processing failures.

· Discarded packets due to full buffer.

· Discarded packets due to link failures.

Statistics collection for an application template applies to all instances that use the application template.

Statistics based on FCM interfaces

This method collects statistics for POS terminals connected to FCM interfaces. The statistics include the counts for the following items:

· Total transactions.

· Successful transactions.

· Failed transactions due to dial-up negotiation failures.

· Disconnected transactions due to timeouts.

A transaction is regarded as successful only when an FCM interface receives data from a POS terminal and sends a reply to the terminal. If a link timeout occurs after several packets are processed successfully for a transaction, the number of successful transactions and the number of disconnected transactions each increase by one.

FEP backup

If the router cannot reach the FEP because of FEP or link failure, the ongoing transaction fails. To solve this problem, you can configure a backup FEP on the router by using the backup app command.

FEP backup is applicable only to POS TCP access. When a POS terminal launches a transaction, the router tries to establish a TCP connection with the primary or backup FEP, depending on the FEP state. If the FEP is unreachable, the router places the FEP to blocked state and starts a quiet timer. Before the timer expires, the FEP keeps in blocked state. After the timer expires, the router places the FEP to non-blocked state. You can set an individual quiet timer for each FEP.

The router selects an FEP for a transaction by following these selection rules:

· If both the primary and backup FEPs are in non-blocked state, the router initiates a connection with the primary FEP. If the connection fails, with the backup FEP.

· If only one FEP is in non-blocked state, the router initiates a connection with the FEP in non-blocked state. If the connection fails, with the other FEP.

· If both the primary and backup FEPs are in blocked state, the router initiates a connection with the primary FEP first and then with the backup FEP.

If both FEPs are unreachable, the transaction fails. If an FEP fails after a connection is successfully established with the FEP, the transaction fails, and the router does not select the other FEP for this transaction. The router selects an FEP for the next transaction by following the selection rules.

POS application template handshaking

By default, the router communicates with an FEP only when a POS terminal initiates a transaction. If the FEP is faulty, the transaction might fail or be delayed. To solve this problem, you can enable the POS application handshaking function to periodically detect the state of an FEP. This function also allows FEPs to detect the reachability of the router.

This function applies only to POS application templates using TCP connection. The router first initiates a connection to the corresponding FEP for the current application template at a specific interval. When the TCP connection is established, the router sends to the FEP a POS packet with an empty data field. The FEP does not respond to the packet.

· For an application template that uses the temporary TCP connection mode, the router periodically initiates a new connection and sends a packet over the connection. Once the packet is successfully sent, the router breaks the connection.

· For an application template that uses the permanent TCP connection mode, the router does not break the connection but uses the connection to send packets periodically at the interval.

Handshaking changes the state of the current POS application. If the POS application is in blocked state, it will switch to non-blocked state when the handshaking succeeds. If the POS application is in non-blocked state, it will switch to blocked state when the handshaking fails.

· fcm-connection-exceed—Number of FCM concurrent connections exceeds the threshold.

· fcm-link-failure—FCM link layer negotiation failure.

· fcm-physical-failure—FCM physical layer negotiation failure.

· fcm-trade-abnomal—Abnormal transaction on FCM interfaces.

· server-state-change—POS access service state change.

· tcp-connection-exceed—Number of TCP concurrent connections exceeds the threshold.

· tcp-trade-exceed—Number of TCP concurrent transactions exceeds the threshold.

The router generates SNMP notifications for tcp-trade-exceed events by using the following scheme:

a. The router generates a notification when the number of concurrent transactions on a TCP connection exceeds the threshold for the first time.

b. Before the number of concurrent transactions on that TCP connection drops below 90% the threshold, the router does not generate notifications any more.

c. After the transaction number drops below 90% the threshold, the router continues to generate a notification when the threshold is exceeded.

This scheme prevents frequent SNMP notifications in case of heavy transaction traffic.

For information about setting the TCP concurrent transactions threshold, see "Configuring the TCP concurrent transaction threshold."

· terminal-hangup—Terminal hang-up.

· trade-success-falling—NII transaction success rate lower than the threshold.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enable SNMP notifications for POS access

By default, SNMP notifications for POS access are enabled globally.

Configuring the POS terminal concurrent connection threshold

About the POS terminal concurrent connection threshold

You can configure the FCM or TCP concurrent connection threshold for POS terminals.

The router generates SNMP notifications for fcm-connection-exceed or tcp-connection-exceed events when the following requirements are met:

· SNMP notification is enabled for fcm-connection-exceed or tcp-connection-exceed events. For more information, see "Enabling SNMP notifications for POS terminal access."

· Number of FCM or TCP concurrent connections exceeds the configured threshold.

Connections can still be established after the FCM or TCP concurrent connections threshold is exceeded.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a concurrent connection threshold for POS terminals.

posa connection-threshold terminal { fcm fcm-threshold-value | tcp tcp-threshold-value }

By default, the concurrent connection threshold is 4096 for TCP access mode and 255 for FCM dial-up access mode.

Configuring the TCP concurrent transaction threshold

About the TCP concurrent transaction threshold

After the TCP concurrent transaction threshold is set, the router discards the packets that exceed the threshold. If SNMP notification for tcp-trade-exceed is also enabled, the router generates SNMP notifications as described in "Enabling SNMP notifications for POS terminal access."

Licensing requirements

You can install licenses to increase the concurrent transaction threshold for each TCP connection supported by the device. For more information about licenses, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure the TCP concurrent transaction threshold.

posa trade-limit tcp limit-value

By default, no limit is set to the number of concurrent transactions on a TCP connection.

Configuring the alarm threshold for the low NII transaction success rate

About NII transaction and the alarm threshold for the low NII transaction success rate

NII indicates the TPDU destination address of the FEP in a POS packet. The router finds the correct application template according to the TPDU destination address in a packet received from a POS terminal. Then, the device sends the packet to the FEP.

You can configure the minimum number of packet round trips for a successful NII transaction. An NII transaction is regarded as successful only when the number of packet round trips between the router and the FEP is equal to or greater than the specified value.

The NII transaction success rate is the ratio of the successful NII transactions to the total NII transactions. If SNMP notification for trade-success-falling is enabled, the router generates SNMP notifications when the NII transaction success rate drops below the threshold. For more information, see "Enabling SNMP notifications for POS terminal access."

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Create a POS application template and enter POS application template view.

posa app app-id type { flow | tcp }

3. Configure the minimum number of packet round trips for a successful NII transaction.

trade-exchanges counts

By default, the minimum number of packet round trips for a successful NII transaction is 1.

4. Return to system view.

5. Configure the alarm threshold for the low NII transaction success rate.

posa trade-falling-threshold threshold-value

By default, the alarm threshold for the low NII transaction success rate is 90%.

Configuring the alarm threshold for the low E1 dialing success rate

About the low E1 dialing success rate alarm threshold

An E1POS interface can be channelized into 30 FCM subinterfaces to carry 30 simultaneous POS terminal dial-up connections.

The E1 dialing success rate is the ratio of the successful dial-ups to the total dial-ups for all FCM subinterfaces of an E1POS interface. If SNMP notification for e1-dial-falling is enabled, the router generates SNMP notifications when the E1 dialing success rate drops below the threshold. For more information, see "Enabling SNMP notifications for POS terminal access."

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure the alarm threshold for the low E1 dialing success rate.

posa e1-dialing-falling-threshold threshold-value

By default, the alarm threshold for the low E1 dialing success rate is 90%.

Configuring the transaction timeout

About the transaction timeout

Perform this task to configure the transaction timeout. The timeout timer is set when the router receives a transaction packet from a POS terminal. If the router receives no reply from the FEP before the timer expires, the transaction times out. The router discards the reply packet that is received after the timer expires.

Restrictions and guidelines

If the network condition is poor, do not configure a small transaction timeout. A small transaction timeout might cause the router to reassign the transaction number of an expired transaction to a new transaction. Then, the router treats the reply to the expired transaction as the reply to the new transaction.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Set the transaction timeout.

posa trade-timeout timeout-value

By default, the timeout time for each transaction is 240 seconds.
