The criteria outlined below are applicable to EPOS workstations.
For POS, you have the choice of using standard PC hardware or using specialized integrated EPOS
terminals. Standard PC hardware will be less expensive and offer the most recent technology.
Integrated EPOS stations need less space to place the, but they often use technology that is less
recent than standard PC hardware.
The choice for standard PC Hardware or integrated station is often decided by the space available in
the restaurant or bar.

Recommendations:
Manufacturer.
Depending on the number of Interfaces installed on the
server, extra RS-232 ports may have to be installed. A
server usually has 1 RS-232 port (sometimes even
none) and in many cases the nr of ports needs to be
extended. In this case a device is required called an
RS-232 port extender like the Digi-Edgeport.
We strongly advise to use the Digi edgeport
which has been validated by Planet wInner.
