Architecture
There are two ways to describe the 7802 Terminal System. The first is “Physical” architecture, that is the
way the parts of the system actually hook together; and the second is the “Logical” architecture which
describes the information flow between the parts of the system.
Physical
The 7802 Terminals always connect to a wireless access point to become part of a LAN. In order for the
Terminal to have Internet access, the LAN that it connects to must provide it.
A web-based Connection Host always runs on a web server that supports PHP scripting and MySQL
database. Typically this would be on your web site host's server and set up as part of your web site; or it can
be installed on a web server that is part of your LAN. A typical web server is Apache or IIS with appropriate
PHP and MySQL modules.
Setting up your own web-based Connection Host requires basic knowledge of web server and PHP script
installation.
You can also use the web-based Connection Host provided by Worth Data (terminal's default configuration
is set for this) but be aware this is a shared non-customizable resource intended for demonstration (not
production) and Worth Data makes no guaranties about availability or up-time.
Another possibility is to use the Windows-based Connection Host program provided with your Terminal.
This software is a Windows program that you install and run on a Windows computer attached to your LAN.
It is essentially a custom web server designed specifically to function as a local LAN-based Connection
Host for your Terminals with no Internet connectivity or access required; your LAN is used as a private
“internet”.
