Retail cost for a terminal in in the 75 to 300 range. ---- - - - - ------ The per queryw costs shown here reflect resource usa e and costs resulrinq from the standard scenarioso demonstrated during the ASVI tenchmark process. Users should remember that costs can vary considerably depending upon the access method the number of queries per session and system connect times incurred. During benchmark demonstrations the 3270 and Asynchronous access standard scenarios c-nsisted of 9 simulated sessions of a single query each 2 sessions of 10 queries and 2 sessions of 25 queries. Tho touch-tone demonstration consisted of 4 sessions of a single query each and 1 session of 10 queries. costs associated with oach complete mcenario were averaged to arrive at the costs shown hare. Additional Planning Considerations Moderate volume especially where ASVI queries are made concurrent with the application process. Same as for 3270 access. Unnecessary connect time will increase average query costs. Low volume sites. Should not go through a PBX system. Prolonged connect times will increase average query costs. Moderate volume 50 - 1 000 daily queries sites. Use of a modem capable of at least 1200 - 2400 BPS is recommended to reduce connect charges. Can also be used for high volume sites if line speeds are greater than 9600 BPS. Prior coordination with the ASVI vendor in required. Same as for file transcar. Requires prior coordination with the ASVI vendor. High volume sites. Requires prior coordination vith the ASVI vendor. Low to Moderate volume sites. Connect tire is minirized maximum of 10 seconds query . Terminal is live at all timen but generates no charges. Should not go through a PBX myrtem. ----- Connect time for Amync. access averaged about 1 rinuto per query during the benchmark touch-tone access averaged about 2 minutes. Although POS usage could not be estimated for life-cycle costing query coata mhould be similar to those exporioncod for 3270 and async. accosm.
