Terminal Features
Memory Configuration Contains 32 MB of dynamic memory, 2 MB of non-volatile memory for data
retention, and 40 MB of Flash memory for program storage.
Programmability Designed to be a Java-capable embedded data collection platform. Users can
create, load, and execute PersonalJava-compliant applications that utilize existing OEM classes for
display, keyboard, biometric, barcode, magnetic, proximity, and smartcard (Mifare, iClass). A
software development kit (SDK) is available separately that provides development documentation,
development support, and samples for the use of the OEM classes.
Host Interface Includes a dedicated Ethernet port for connection to 10/100 Ethernet networks. DHCP
or Static IP address configuration is supported.
Display Equipped with a 320 x 240 graphic blue LCD display. The display provides a blue
background with optimized white character presentation for clarity. The full alphanumeric character
set and graphics are supported.
Keypad Equipped with a 36-key ATM style tactile response membrane keypad. The keys are divided
into four groups: numbers, functions, navigation, and programmable keys. Keys positioned next to
the display align with softkeys for ease of use.
Power Uses a 20 VDC 1 amp power pack to power the terminal. The power pack is UL listed and
CSA certified.
Audio Annunciator Programmable with variable tone and duration capability.

File System Specification
The terminal provides file systems on different hardware devices. Instead of using the common
alphabet notation for file system devices (‘A:’, ‘C:’), the Genus terminal identifies the file storage
devices as:
Storage Device
Memory size
Location
‘\flashdisk’
40 Mbytes
Seldom write, frequent read.
Used for firmware, user
applications, and application data.
‘\ramdisk’
2 Mbytes
High read/write usage. Data is
preserved through power loss.
Often used for transaction
(punch) storage.
‘\scratchdisk’
5 Mbytes
High read/write usage.
Temporary file storage. Not
preserved through power outage.
The Genus Terminal uses the ‘\ramdisk’ location to store transactions. This location has
approximately 1MB of storage available for transactions (punches). Refer to the reference section for
Calculating Number of Transactions That Can Be Stored.
