Deploying Point of Service
Terminals
Point of Service terminals are the end point in the SUSE® Linux Enterprise Point of
Service architecture. They provide customer service functions such as Point of Service
terminals or bank teller workstations.
7.1 Operating System
The Point of Service terminal operating system is a minimal operating environment for
specialized Point of Service applications. There are different levels of Point of Service
operating environments, ranging from an extremely small console-based system to a
feature-rich Java™ and browser-capable graphical systems.
The type of operating system that can be installed on a Point of Service terminal is de-
termined by the type of hardware that is available. For example, diskless systems can
support only a minimal operating environment such as a console-based system, while
Point of Service terminals that have a hard drive can support graphical environments.
Point of Service operating systems are downloaded to Point of Service terminals in
system image files. Each Point of Service terminal gets a system image based on its
associated hardware type configuration defined in the scCashRegister object of
the central LDAP directory—see Section 7.4, "Creating the Required LDAP Objects"
(page 72).
