1 Controller Console Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Portal TI Console provides compact local access to the Management Mode of the Portal
TI Software. Unitec designed the console primarily to be used as a Point of Sale (POS) inside
your convenience sore (C-Store) or your site office. In this role, your onsite employees use
the console to sell washes, update House Accounts, and per form shift or d aily closes.
In addition, by connecting the keyboard and mouse, the console functions as a data entry
point. This allows users to enter and edit information in the Portal TI software. For example,
users can enter Vault Events when they add or remove cash from the Vault, or add the
contact details to existing or new House Accounts. Site managers also have the ability to edit
system configuration settings through the Setup menus.
1.2 Console Hardware Overview
The console is a compact case with a touch-screen interface. The mouse, power supply,
printer, and network cables plug into the back of the unit. A keyboard is not needed because
you may use the touch screen on the console to enter all configuration information.
When you purchase the Console option, you will receive the following components:
• Portal TI Console
• Limited Source Power Supply
• Ticket Printer
• Parallel Printer Cable
• Tabletop Magnetic Swipe Reader
• Spare Paper Roll and Ribbon
A USB keyboard and USB mouse can be connected to the USB ports on the back of the
Console.
