is a communications gateway software solution for leased-line ATMs that offers protocol conversion, transaction aggregation, multiple host support, and extensive network management capabilities.
Connecting ATM Networks with BankLink
BankLink resolves issues relating to connectivity of leased-line ATMs and legacy network protocols to TCP/IP networks, transaction hosts/switches, and third party EFT processors.
Primary uses of BankLink include:
- Connecting a new transaction switch to non-TCP ATMs; reducing the cost of upgrading to a new transaction switch by allowing continued use of existing ATMs.
- Connecting new TCP based ATMs to tried and true legacy transaction switches; allowing gradual migration to new ATMs.
- Connecting new TCP based ATMs to existing SNA, SDLC, DLC, and X.25 QLLC transaction switches; allowing gradual migration off SNA networks.
- Replacing an X.25, SNA, BSC, NCR X3.28, or other network infrastructure with a TCP/IP or GPRS network; allowing migration to more cost effective network infrastructures.
- Replacing telco provided X.25 networks such as the Datapac 3201 service; eliminating per transaction charges while allowing retention of existing ATMs as the telco's close down their X.25 networks.
- Providing ATM connectivity over GPRS networks; providing a low cost network alternative or a back-up network in case of primary network failure.
- Monitoring transaction health in ATM networks; maximizing revenues by maximizing uptime.
