Data cables are used to transmit information between devices. There are three main types of data cables used to transmit data: twisted pair, coax and optic fibre cables.

These three types of cables are used in different environments. One of the fastest twisted pair cables on the market today is CAT6 cable. Data cable can be for internal or external use. Data cable for external use has a hard jacket and a moisture barrier. 

Your data cable connects the following equipment to other devices and the network:  computer, monitor, modem, printer, fax machine, smart TV, CCTV, wireless router, switch, phones, phone system, VOIP phones, intercom, door station, EFTPOS machine, alarm, and much more. 

OSA Communications can supply, install and terminate all types of cable, such as: Optic fibre, data, coax, aerial IBC, speaker, communication (5pr, 10pr, 30pr, 50pr, 100pr), depending on what is required.

Amazing Capabilities of a Sistem POS

A sistem POS (Point of Sale system) are computerized software that replaces the manual cash register in businesses which sell goods or services at the tills. The system helps in managing the cash, stock of goods and gives an outline of service available. These utilities help in managing the business in an easier way. POS terminal makes sure that there are invoices and receipts to support transactions, either a printed one or electronically generated. Thus, cash management is made far much easier with low risk of theft and other cash mishandling practices. To fully understand what are the “point of sale terminals”, they can be classified into either:

 o Counter top terminals: These are POS terminals whereby, for a payment to take place the customer and the operator must be within a hand touch distance since it involves manually keying of information by the customer or the operator or both simultaneously. Mostly the terminal device is either a personal computer or other electronic devices. POS terminal with a computer as the terminal involves installing the programs relevant to that particular kind of business in question for example POS software for a food and beverage outlet may contain all the menu items at the terminal point.

 o Wireless terminal: This is a POS terminal which is capable of accepting payment no matter the location and as opposed to the countertop terminals this is designed to be easily mobile. They accept all forms of electronic payments ranging from visa to NFC. It is most favorable to those people who have no one standpoint of sale point for example vegetable vendors, taxi drivers, and even parking lot attendants.

 o Bluetooth terminals: These are POS terminals which have the capability of accepting electronic payments by use of Bluetooth technology to interface the customer and the management. They have security alert systems installed in them to block or warn any unauthorized transaction from automatic activation. The majority accept all forms of electronic point of sale systems which include but not limited to the following: master card Pay Pass, visa pay-wave, Amex, express pay and NFC mobile payment.

 Sistem POS can further be classified based on the following to help know what point of sale terminals to use in different settings.

1. F&B POS:

- These systems are also called restaurant point of sale systems. They integrate the end to end users which are sometimes fully PCI compliant and offer full encryption at both ends to add up security. Also offers back office, inventory, payroll and customer account maintenance in up to date levels. Most of the restaurants and hotels with high frequency and customer turnover also make use of wireless POS which are connected to the local server either in kitchen or a separate room and orders are placed through encryption to audio. Some of F&B POS includes the SIS POS.

2. The point of sale machine:

- A point of sale machine is the actual hardware device that makes it possible for the software to execute its operations. These can be a stand-alone machine or an integrated system of machines. Some of the must have POS machines include barcode scanners, pole displays, POS computers, cash drawers, touch screen monitors, check scanners and receipt printers.

3. Retail point of sale Singapore:

- A retail point of sale generally operates on the principles that the customer places the order and the operator executes it. This can be done by use of weighing scales, scanners, EFTPOS terminals and touch screen input monitors.

4. POS software Singapore:

- Singapore is among the digitalized countries and thus point of sale terminal software are readily available in majority of outlets stores. These are best for use since they increase speed and efficiency.

5. Salon POS:

- These are the point of sale systems which are capable of taking orders and queuing them according to booking time, however, some like i-connect do not require any installation of software. A fully cloud sourced application is among the best for salon cash payment systems as it is compatible with mobile devices. Thus, ease of access even when working on a customer.

6. POS system and software:

- A system is a set of related or related components working together to form a whole or to execute a task. Thus, POS system consists of both the hardware and the software components. For efficient operation, the software should be fully compatible depending on whether it is wireless POS or counter top terminal.

7. Cloud based point of sale:

- Cloud computing is the use of remote servers hosted on the internet to store and manage data and details instead of storing in a local server or personal computer. It only requires a running internet service browser to access the points and is highly compatible with mobile devices and the tablets. It offers the conveniences associated with a location as the terminal can be accessed anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. However to deal with a drop in internet speeds, it is advisable to have some local installation of POS remotely. 

 In conclusion, the nature and size of the business determine what the point-of-sale terminals to use are. POS terminals despite making the running of a business easier they are prone to security threats both online and offline. These problems have been partly solved by cloud computing. It is always good to take the following precautions. 

 o Use metal cash boxes.

o Use proxy software and strong firewall to avoid data theft.

o Use genuine and internet approved Ant-virus 

o Do a thorough analysis before buying any POS terminal to ensure workload balances with the execution capability of the system. This reduces low performance.

o Download software from only authenticated persons.

o Reduce the amount of float at the counter top cash box terminals.

Just a Normal Day

Hey there! Just a quickie for pre-V-day! The eftpos machine was down at my cafe today, and I attempted to make this joke, and it fell probably flatter than it did for Caroline. Hope you like. 

For one moment, one quiet, shining moment, Caroline Forbes stared longingly out the glass windows, onto the street. She gazed at the faces of those hurrying happily by – the faces of people who weren’t trapped in the grips of Monday employment.

Being a third year college student, Caroline didn’t have all that much time to work, what with class, extra-curricular activities, and a steady social life. But through some horrible twist of fate, she had Mondays completely free. 

Which meant, while all her friends were recovering from their weekends, she had to be peppy and perky while serving perfectly pooncey coffee orders to pretentious patrons who preferred their tri-daily caffeine fix about as complicated as their particularly promiscuous impertinences.

To add insult to injury, the café’s wireless was down that day, which mean no cards whatsoever. Just those little bills that seemed so illusive in the digital climate.

On top of that, it meant that every second hipster complained about not being able to share their almond turmeric latte with a shot of decaf and chai with the entirety of their – rather lacking – Instagram following. The alternative to the Insta-whinger, were the try-hard-hippy-dippy folks who flagellated about how ‘we’re all too involved in the internet’, and ‘how in an age with such connectivity we’re rarely truly connected to others’ and how refreshing it was to disconnect for a while. They made these proclamations as if they didn’t have cell data constantly ringing notifications in like they were going out of style.

Needless to say, Caroline’s day was sucking.

It had been hours of triple caff, half almond, half soy mochas, and the repeated line “I’m really sorry, but our wireless is down at the moment! So, we’re only taking cash!” 

And she was sick of it. 

It was the day before Valentine’s day, and she was feeling absolutely no love toward the customers, her job, her boss, her anything.

“Hi!” she said, faux-brightly to the next customer to step through the door. “It’s typical, isn’t it! The day before Valentine’s and our wireless connection is about as dead as my stale, stagnant relationship! So, just like the hooker I have to hire to get any action these days, we’re only taking cash!”

She had her sunniest smile on when she delivered her line.

But her unfailing confidence completely failed, as she made eye contact with the customer. 

He did not seem amused.

At all.

The scowl he had worn through the café’s door, deepened considerably, and he couldn’t stop himself from saying, “Why anyone believes in this Valentine’s nonsense is beyond me! It is just a normal day, but with all this meaning attached? What? If I don’t bring my loved one a red rose on that day, that means I don’t love them? Ridiculous.” 

Caroline hadn’t expected her joke to fall so flat, but by-gum if she was going to take such petulance from a grumpy stranger with a stick up his butt.

“Oh, how endearing, another man who wants to preach the insignificance of Valentine’s day,” she said dryly, sarcasm dripping from her every pour. “You must be a real hoot at Christmas.”  

The man opened his mouth, ready to fire back an equally sarcastic response when she cut him off.

“If you must know, I don’t have a boyfriend, nor an escort. Some might say I was making a humorous statement, sometimes known as a joke. Perhaps if you pulled your head out of your ass long enough to listen to tone and timbre, you may have got that. What can I get for you today?”

She looked down her nose at him, pursing her lips haughtily, impatiently waiting for his order and the man’s cold exterior cracked, his lips forming a tiny smile. 

“I’ll have a large flat white.” 

“What? No soy milk? No hazelnut? No extra whipped cream on the top? Surely you’ll take an artisanal donut?”

“Nope, just the coffee.” 

“Well, I’ll be damned.”

They stood comfortable silence, while Caroline made the coffee. She was concentrating on her task; he was concentrating on her.

As she handed his coffee to him, he grinned.

“I’ll definitely be back tomorrow.”

“It’s Valentine’s day tomorrow,” she replied, dryly.

“It’s a terrible tradition. I stand by that.”

He turned to go, and was just about to step through the door, when he turned and said, “but red roses are nice, even if it is just a normal day.”

With that, and a wink, he was gone.

Don’t Risk Disconnection – Move to NBN Now!

With the rollout of the National Broadband Network (NBN) in Australia, your existing phone system may no longer be compatible with the Internet infrastructure.

Once your area is ready for the service, you will only have up to 18 months to switch to an NBN compatible phone system. So it’s imperative to switch well before the cut off date, or you’ll risk being disconnected.

Read on to find out more about the NBN network and what you need to do to stay connected.

Are Your Devices Compatible with the NBN?

NBN involves the use of new technologies. This means the phone services you use now may be incompatible with the new infrastructure. In that case, the transition will affect your business if you don’t migrate to NBN.

Unfortunately, connecting to the NBN is not automatic, so it is up to you to find out whether your device is NBN compatible.

This is where Forum Group can help. We will check all your devices for compatibility and help you migrate to the NBN service network. We will also advise you on the most suitable solution ideal for your business needs.

Free Guide: Everything about NBN & 5G

Check if your special equipment is compatible to the NBN

While migrating common devices such as phones, laptops and computers is straight-foward, if you have special equipment that operates on a landline phone connection, you will need to check with both your service and device providers whether they will still be compatible with the NBN network. Contact your device providers to check if you need upgrading. 

At Forum Group, we will help guide you through this checklist to prepare you for the NBN connection. Once you have signed up to a plan that suits your business needs, we will work with NBN Co to arrange a technician to install your new service.

The devices you need to check:

EFTPOS or health claim terminals

Existing landline phone services

Fax and teletypewriter devices

Auto-dealers, medical alarms, or emergency call buttons

Lift emergency phones

Monitored fire alarms

Business security monitoring systems

Reach out to the service provider of any special equipment to find out if your devices are compatible with the NBN. Following this, you will work with your service provider to migrate to the NBN. 

If you are not the owner of the premises where you do business, you can inform the landlord that the building needs registration. And if you are leasing a business premise, you need to seek your landlord’s permission before installing the NBN equipment.

What Disconnection Would Mean to your Business

Many Internet and landline services offered via cable or Telstra’s copper broadband networks will stop working. However, the NBN rollout will not affect the services provided over the satellite, wireless, mobile, or fixed-line networks.

An unplanned disconnection may have serious ramifications for your business including:

Lost revenue

Loss of service to your customers

Damaged business reputation

Lost employee efficiency

Note that the moment your area is ready for service, NBN will give you only 18 months to move to their network.

Once you place your order, your existing services will still be available for up to 6 months as you wait for the NBN service.

Why Choose Forum Group?

At Forum Group, we offer a wide range of IT solutions, and we will help you migrate from your current system to the NBN system without a hitch.

With our secure private cloud solutions, we will ensure your data is secure by storing it in Government graded (Tier 3) data centres based in Australia and with back-ups in place.

All our hosting and support are in Australia. When the system is down, we will be able to pinpoint where the problem is and act fast.

 Other benefits you will enjoy from Forum include:

Cost savings: With a traditional phone service, you often pay for local, long-distance and international calls. With SIP, the new communications technology compatible with NBN, pricing is cheaper and costs can be anticipated more accurately.

Immediate ROI: SIP technology requires minimal upfront capital investment.

Network consolidation: SIP lets you combine your voice and data into a single network, saving costs.

No expensive hardware or infrastructure: Traditional phone services may need new phone lines, mobile devices for remote employees and other telecommunications’ equipment.

Mobility: With SIP, you can use a proxy (localised) phone number. Our phone system solution offers flexibility, giving you the option to transfer your existing phone numbers should you move office. Not only does this save time and cost, our solution can consolidate your business locations and remote workers into a single network.

Unified communications: SIP acts as a gateway for IP-based communications (data sent over the Internet). Benefits include collaboration apps, instant messaging, mobility, and other versatile, cloud-based applications for business productivity.

Reliability: As there is no physical infrastructure, SIP isn’t vulnerable to outages.

Easy management: SIP, with VoIP phones (digitally enabled telephone lines), let you manage your own network, including call routing, changing extensions or adding phone lines.

Advanced features: These include easy setup of call unattended, integration with your CRM, and voicemail to email.

Top technology: Forum Group uses Mitel or Yealink – both excellent brands. These come in the Express, Executive and Enterprise ranges designed to suit the size of your business.

An unplanned disconnection due to the NBN will cost your business, so we strongly recommend you to get a head start on migrating your phone system. We make the switch easy, and your transition will be smooth and seamless. If you’d like to learn more about how Forum can help your business be NBN ready, let’s talk.

Google Australia has named Anil Sabharwal as its new director of engineering, replacing 11-year veteran Alan Noble. It’s a return to Australia for Sabharwal, who began his Google career in Sydney back in 2009 before moving to California. While in the US, Sabharwal is perhaps best known as the leader of the team that conceived, built, and launched Google Photos in 2015. In addition to running the Australian engineering team, he will “continue to lead Google’s global efforts in personal communications and photos”, Google said in a blog post. Sabharwal’s relocation provides further context to the company’s decision to set up a product team for Google Photos in Australia. As reported by iTnews last week, a new engineering presence is being set up for Photos locally. That is significant because Photos is considered Google’s fastest-growing product ever, and its enhancements are being underpinned by significant investments in deep learning and machine learning. Sabharwal noted that Google’s Australian operations had grown “tremendously” in the five years he had been away. “Australia has some of the most talented engineers in the world, and our Sydney office will continue to work on efforts that make big impact at a global scale,” he said. Much of that growth was overseen by Alan Noble, who has led local engineering since 2007. Noble is headed to non-profit AusOcean, which conducts reef monitoring and ocean environmental protection work. Got a news tip for our journalists? Share it with us anonymously here.

Telstra outage leaves hundreds of offenders unmonitored for 24 hours

Updated November 05, 2018 00:06:23 Hundreds of offenders have been left unmonitored for more than 24 hours in South Australia following an electronic failure in monitoring devices blamed on a nationwide Telstra outage. Key points:Department of Corrections was unable to track 774 offenders for 24 hoursAn electronic fault in the monitoring devices was reported on Friday morningA nationwide Telstra outage has been blamed for the communication mishap The Department for Correctional Services in South Australia on Sunday confirmed a communication fault with its electronic monitoring system had left it unable to track 774 individuals who are monitored by electronic tracking devices. It said that all offenders had been accounted for except for one individual. The department said the offenders were out for various reasons, including parolees, those on bail and others on home detention supervision. Chief executive of the department David Brown said the outage was brought to his attention early on Friday morning and service was fully restored by lunch time on Saturday. "We've got one offender on intensive-bail supervision who had failed to report to his address after he was released by the court on bail on Thursday night and was due to travel to his address on Friday morning," Mr Brown said. "Any offender who breaches the conditions of an order placed on them by the court is a concern and that offender was deemed suitable to be released on bail by the court and he will answer to the court as to why he failed to comply with the conditions of his bail." Mr Brown said the department and South Australian police already had a contingency plan in place prior to the fault. "It was quickly established that it was a network outage with Telstra that was the root cause of the problem," he said. He said additional staff were brought in to do both phone and home-visit checks on offenders and at about lunch time on Saturday the department had full system functionality back.

Photo: SA Premier Steven Marshall said this is a very serious breach and a full investigation would be undertaken. (ABC News: Nick Harmsen) 'This is a very serious breach' Premier Steven Marshall said a thorough investigation would be undertaken into why the outage occurred and how to prevent it happening in the future. He said he was made aware of the outage on Friday and it was "unacceptable" from Telstra. "Corrections and SAPOL had already done work to identify that this was a potential scenario and therefore put contingencies in place," Mr Marshall said. "These contingencies were enacted on Friday; the system has now been fully recovered." He said the State Government would be communicating with Telstra regarding the fault and the safety of South Australian people was extraordinarily important. "This is a very serious breach, a very serious outage and there will be a full and thorough investigation," he said. "Clearly this is an unacceptable situation and clearly this is a situation that we cannot afford to occur in South Australia again." Fault was 'totally unacceptable' Correctional Services Minister Corey Wingard said he had spoken to Telstra following the outage and the company was aware of how the State Government felt about the communication fault.

Photo: Minister for Correctional Services Corey Wingard said he had spoken to Telstra about the outage. (ABC News: Tom Fedorowytsch) He said he was made aware that it was a hardware failure that had caused the outage, with a faulty piece of equipment used by Telstra that was "dead on arrival" during a replacement. "I've spoken to Telstra, this is totally unacceptable, they know very firmly how we feel," Mr Wingard said. "I have two reports coming from them this week and we'll be doing a thorough investigation as to exactly what went wrong and what we need to do to make sure that this doesn't happen again in the future." He said he had been reassured by Telstra that the faulty hardware was now back up and running. Mr Marshall said that following an investigation, further contingencies would be put in place if needed. "I think one of the things that we will definitely do is benchmark our level of coverage with other states around Australia," Mr Marshall said. "If we need to take action, if we need to upgrade the system that's exactly and precisely what we will do." Opposition spokesman LeeOdenwalder said this issue had shown that the current minister in charge of the system was more concerned with other things than really looking after the safety of South Australians. "One of the most important functions of government is to keep its citizens safe and what we've learnt this morning is that on Friday more than 700 criminals have been left unattended, they've been left unsupervised for 24 hours because of an outage in the Telstra system," he said. "This comes shortly after an incident in May where the system went down for two hours it shows that there's a minister that's in charge of the system here who is more interested doing other things than in really looking after the safety of our people. "On top of everything we now have a violent criminal on the loose as a result of this outage. This is unprecedented and we need the Government to get on top of this as quickly as possible." Telstra confirm 'complex issue' A spokesperson from Telstra confirmed the company had been in ongoing contact with the State Government regarding the network outage. The company also confirmed the cause of the outage, describing it as a "complex issue" which technicians had worked through on Friday night. "The issue was caused by a fault in a vendor's network and we had expert technicians onsite to assist them with restoration," the spokesperson said. "A range of machine-to-machine or M2M services were affected, but the biggest impacts were seen on devices such as ATMs and eftpos terminals. "The issue was a complex one involving multiple suppliers across a number of locations we worked through the night to restore services as quickly as possible."
