Thin Client-Based Dumb Terminal

Thinvent has used its expertise in embedded system design to develop a customised thin client-based dumb terminal for the UTS, PRS, JTBS and NTES projects. Thinvent's dumb terminals have replaced the ageing dumb terminals in Indian Railways. They are 100% compatible with the legacy product and handle time-critical train ticketing operations. Thinvent's dumb terminals support the following:

• Server based UTS and PRS applications running in terminal emulation mode.

• Connection to servers through a serial (25-pin/9-pin) connection to terminal servers, and an Ethernet (IP) connection to a network switch.

Salient Features

• Ruggedised hardware to withstand harsh Indian operating conditions.

• Customised to support the CRIS PRS and UTS applications.

• RS232 interface with a 25-pin male D-type connector, and LAN connectivity to Railways servers.

• ISCII (83, 88 & 91) ticket printing with EPSON/TVSE/Printronix/MT-Lipi emulation, configurable for serial or parallel ports.

• Downloadable Railways UTS and PRS forms, with answer-back support.

• Compatible with DEC VT200-style 105-key keyboards.

• Remote accessibility is disabled.

• Built-in calculator, calendar, clock and other helpful tools.

• High-performance hardware with a 2.4 GHz dual-core fanless Intel processor, 1 GB DDR3 RAM and 8 GB flash.

• Two built-in high-speed serial ports and one Centronics parallel port.

• Runs Thinvent’s secure Thinux Embedded Linux operating system, which has a small footprint.
