XENTISSIMO
PRODUCT MANUAL
XENTISSIMO, for power and speed
XENTISSIMO and the XENTA countertop terminal are both powered by the same
state-of-the-art ASIC. This innovative dual-processor / single-chip solution
accounts for superb transaction speed, ultimate payment security and optimum
cost-effectiveness. The operating system running on the XENTISSIMO terminal is a
full-featured Linux system. The established Linux development environment,
completed with comprehensive documentation, allows for easy and rapid
application development in Native C or Java on a “standard” Linux PC.
Banksys, your partner in secure solutions
Fold it out, fold it in. Easy as that! The PIN privacy shield, the most tangible
security feature, has smartly been incorporated in the design. Thanks to the
patented concept of the convertible shield the design of the terminal, when not in
use, could be kept very flat. Actually, XENTISSIMO can only operate when the
PIN privacy shield is in the upright position, thus releasing both the chip-card
interface and the magnetic-stripe reader.
Maximum-security measures have been taken in the ASIC, in the physical
terminal design and in the software. All of those contribute to the permanent
protection of sensitive information and to the instantaneous erasure of sensitive
data if tampering is detected.
Accessories for maximum convenience
XENTISSIMO is standard equipped with a belt clip to facilitate daily carrying on a
waiter’s belt, but other systems are available: a heating oil distributor might
appreciate a shoulder strap, a stallholder an anti-theft cable. To put the terminal
aside temporarily or charge the battery, a cradle is available. It can be used in-
door on a countertop or wall mount, but it also suits cars, taxis or trucks. When
used in-door, the cradle is powered via a power adapter. In a car, it is powered
via direct wiring or via a cigarette lighter plug. The cradle can be equipped with a
terminal drop protection.
