Command Reference
async mode pos
Purpose Use the async mode pos pos-number command to create a POS access port in
nontransparent transmission and permanent TCP connection mode.
Use the async mode pos pos-number app ip-address port-number
command to create a POS access port in transparent transmission mode. In this mode,
the router cannot identify the POS application to which a packet belongs by resolving
the packet as it would in nontransparent mode. Therefore, when you configure a POS
access port, you must specify its corresponding POS application.

Description For the async mode pos pos-number app ip-address port-number [
permanent | temporary ] command, permanent TCP connection is adopted by
default. The function of the async mode pos pos-number app ip-address
port-number permanent command is the same as that of the async mode pos
pos-number app ip-address port-number command.
To accommodate to the FEP program requiring temporary TCP connection, you may
configure the async mode pos pos-number app ip-address port-number
temporary command.
