Bank ATM system

Are these proprietary ATMs or are they part of a national or regional network such as The Exchange, Plus, Interlink or Star?

If it is the latter, then those providers have tons of information you will need to reveiw. In fact they may have specific protocols you must follow.

If it is a propietary network (meaning only the banks customers can use the ATM network), then you should start with the ATM vendors first. Each vendor has specific requirements for their ATMs. Again, they will typically provide the hardware, provide specs on connectivity and guide you through implementation.

Theresa, thanks for the comments.

Actually, only the Bank customers will use the machines, i.e no access for others nor other type of plastic cards.

the requirement for a complete design. so i need to select the ATM machines type and then design the necessary network to interconnect them to the host.

after reading your valid comments, I suppose the question would be, what is the best architecture setup for such a requirement.

I appreciate if any one knows of websites that provides samples of networks, to quote the URL's.

Hi,

Where are the two ATMs in each Branch located, I mean are they in same location as that of the Branch office or far away from the B.O. If they are in the same location of the B.O. then the Topology/Architecture preferred would be Star Network directly. i.e you have to connect all the Branch offices directly to Head Quarters.

We can either go for VSAT connection or Leased Line connection based on feasibility and cost. To satisfy the up time of the Network it is always preferred to go for ISDN fall back network.

Please let me know if this info is helpful to you.

All the best.

Get some cans and string.
