The terminal also features:

Various optional card readers are available to meet the compatibility requirements of your existing identification cards. Both contactless and contact readers are available. (Users can alternatively authenticate via PIN instead of identification card.) 

The terminal communicates with YSoft SafeQ server over ethernet network (default communication port 4096). RJ45 connectors connect the terminal to the network. MFPs and printers communicate with the SafeQ server via the terminal. Administrator can define whether users are required to authenticate at the terminal before using the MFP or network printer.
