1 Cash Control Series USB Smart Hubs Unattended payment made simple! Dr D McDonald January 2017 (public) Copyright epoint Embedded Computing Limited 2016.

2 CashControl Series Smart Hubs e2c s CashControl (CC) series Smart Hubs provide simple integration of complex payment peripherals into unattended machines, such as kiosks, gaming machines, vending machines and retail POS systems. CC hubs are bundled with our powerful isocket middleware to provide out-of-the-box support via a high-level API for all industry standard cash-handling peripherals across all major operating systems. Developers don t need to know any peripheral protocols! The CC range spans from simple single interface hubs, such as MDB and CCTalk, through to multi-function hubs combining multiple interface bus standards and extensive GPIO. All smart hubs have single USB interfaces built on generic O/S drivers with support for all major operating systems. All CC Series products are powered by our powerful isocket middleware running on the host platform, providing both local device/peripheral management and remote management services within broader monitoring and reporting systems.

11 What does isocket control? isocket supports all industry standard peripherals and manufacturers and includes support for all common peripheral protocols and low-level communication interfaces. These are some examples of supported device types, including low level devices within the smart hubs. Copyright epoint Embedded Computing Limited

12 How does this benefit our customers? e2c s solutions, offer the following key benefits Significantly reduces development effort and time-to market. Dramatically simplifies peripheral and IO control through a single coherent API. Decouples the computing platform from the application specific interfaces, allowing the use of any computing platform (x86, ARM, Windows, Linux etc) Native socket interface or websocket interface for browser based applications Significantly improves system reliability and manageability, both locally and remotely through LAN/WAN and cloud based enterprise solutions. Integrated security features such as crypto-processing and SRAM secures system applications and data. Allows freedom of choice in peripheral selection (isocket supports all major device manufacturers) Dramatically simplifies application portability across different machines. It allows application portability across different platforms and operating systems Copyright epoint Embedded Computing Limited

13 Lifecycle benefits Our middleware technology spans the full development production cycle, from initial development through to operational management. spans product development cycle DEVELOPMENT PRODUCTION OPERATIONS Rapid API development tools for broad range of peripherals Extensive debugging tools and error/event logging Powerful scripting tools Full machine testing without end application Simplified production/qa Automated board programming Client runtimes Extensive event logging and error reporting Remote monitoring and control (IoT/m2m) Copyright epoint Embedded Computing Limited
