The Bankway master terminal has several purposes:
● FIS Support access
● Test / Training Environment
● FIS Express Server
● Configuration Console and Master Configuration
● Bank Standards Configuration and Distribution
By using an Internet connection, the Master Terminal allows FIS to connect to your network. By
allowing a connection to your network, FIS is able to perform software installations, assist with
updates, and provide technical support. Please consult the Remote Desktop Sharing guide for
more information.
Note: A modem and a dedicated telephone line may be used in lieu of the Internet
connection. Please consult your Network Certification Specialist for more information.
The Master Terminal can be used as the server in a test / training environment. By only
attaching test / training workstations to the Master Terminal, any changes made to this server
will not affect your production environment.
FIS Express automatically downloads updates from the FIS Express Server. This service
requires a constant, high-speed Internet connection.
The Master Terminal should be used to maintain a master configuration for all servers and
workstations. By installing the FIS Configuration Console on the Master Terminal, changes to
Bankway dependent settings can be centrally managed for all of the branch servers and
workstations.
The Master Terminal should be used to configure and distribute any Bank Standards changes. A
teller receipt printer should be attached to the Master Terminal throughout the Implementation
process.
FIS recommends that each bank in a data center environment have its own master terminal
located at its central operations center in order to maintain control over the bank’s standards.
Note: The Master Terminal is not a terminal server. It must be in a physically accessible
location and will be used extensively during the implementation process.
The following information summarizes the Recommended Hardware Configuration for the
installation of Bankway.
● Pentium® 4 – 2.0 GHz Processor or higher
