CorSWITCH Architecture

The design of CorSWITCH is based on the following principles:

• Open System Architecture.
• Multi-tiered Client/Server Structure.
• Scalable System Architecture: From single processor server to drive as few as 8 end-points to an SMP server to handle more than 100 end-points.
• Modular Application Architecture: pug-in applications, protocols, HOC, devise handles, etc.
• Support of Fault-resilient configurations (Lifekeeper, RAID).
• DES & tripleDES Encryption (Future: EKC Encryption).
• ODBC Compliant, SQL.
• WOSA/XFS compliant and ActiveXFS End-Points.

 

CorSWITCH's up-to-date open system architecture allow easy implementation of new transactions and e-commerce products, as well as, participation to more sophisticated networking infrastructures, incorporation of various modes of operation (on-line, off-line, and standalone modes), and support of various authorization methods (positive, negative, hot reject and host/processor authorizations).

With CorSWITCH, customers are able to:

• easily implement a virtually limitless array of transactions on their SSTs (e.g. traditional cash dispensing, balance inquiry, account statements, check cashing, electronic bill payment, real-time activated prepaid phone cards, money order issuance, event ticketing, Internet-based e-commerce products and services, currency deposits, interactive advertising, biometric identification, etc.)
• easily add POS terminals and new SSTs, other than the traditional ATMs and Kiosks, to your networks.
• easily expand your ATM and Kiosk networks into new payment environments, such as, Internet business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) processing.
• seamlessly connect your network to the Internet and other banking or non-banking networks.

System Highlights

• Runs on Windows NT and supports fault-resilient system architectures
• Scalable solution supporting from a very small to very large networks
• Written in Visual C++ and C
• Provides a wide range or communication protocols including TCP/IP, X.25, Asynch, BSC 3270, SNA/SDLC and TC500 (Burroughs Poll Select)
• Supports relational databases, such as, Oracle.
• Supports Debit Cards, Credit Cards, Combo Cards, Bank Cards, Private Label Cards, etc.
• Provides 24-hour operations with three modes of operation:
  • On-Line Mode (positive or negative authorization on the enterprise Host)
  • Off-Line Mode (positive or negative authorization on the EFT ATM/POS Switch)
  • Stand-Alone Mode (positive or negative authorization on the SST with store-and-forward)
• Multi-network, Multi-host interfacing and ISO 8583 connections.
• Real-time balance updating to/from host computer
• Complete control and reconciliation reporting
• Supports virtually any type ATM (including NCR, Diebold, Wincor Nixdorf/SNI, Triton and Tidel), Kiosks and POS.
• Supports Web-enabled terminals (ATMs/Kiosks)
• Provide various connectivity options (including Direct Connect/Leased-Line, Dial-up, LAN and Wireless)
• Supports a wide array of transactions including, fast cash, variable amount cash withdrawal, deposits, balance inquiries, full- and mini- statements, fund transfers, bill payment and checkbook ordering.
• Dynamic advertising
