  • System uses network mainframe and servers for processing of checks to minimize system usage interruptions
    Patent number: 6205470
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a Document Process Server (DPS) for users of mainframes, such as Unisys' IPS and DPI 800/DP500 Series Reader/Sorters. The DPS allows ORS and Poll Select DP Series Reader/Sorters to be connected to ClearPath™/A/V Series Unisys mainframes via LAN/WAN connectivity and/or economical telephone company connections such as Frame Relay. The DPS enhances the IPS/DP Series user's system in that it allows ClearPath™/A/V Series users to use LAN/WAN connectivity with their existing Reader/Sorter investment. ClearPath ™ users are not required to purchase new NDP Reader/Sorters since Unisys does not support the ORS interface. “Click”/usage charges associated with the NDP Series are averted. Cost of dedicated telephone lines and MUX equipment are not needed. V Series users are not required to purchase single or multiple dedicated A/ClearPath™ Series to interface TCP/IP to the V Series host.
