How to Create an Enterprise Terminal
The Enterprise Terminal configuration provides a starting point for devices such as retail point of sale and electronic payment terminals. To create an Enterprise Terminal platform, you can use the New Platform Wizard that includes a pre-configured option or you can build a custom platform by selecting the appropriate features for your device.
Once you have created the starting point for your Enterprise Terminal, you can customize the configuration by adding components from the Platform Builder catalog or by adding customized features, files, or drivers that you develop. For more information about default components for this configuration, see Enterprise Terminal Features.
