A system (100) including a plurality of ATMs (102) and a method of transferring information within that system (100) are described. The ATMs (102) are connected to a host computer (104) by a bi-directional link (106), and the host computer (104) is connected to a management centre (108) by a uni-directional link (110). Each ATM (102) has a user interface (130) for enabling a user to interact with the ATM (102), a network card (140) for transferring information between the ATM (102) and the host (104), and a processor (138) for operating the user interface (130) and the network card (140). Each ATM (102) also has a pager unit (114), and the management centre (108) has a telephone (112) for transmitting information to each pager unit (114) via a cellular network pager provider (113). The system (100) thereby provides two-way communication between the management centre (108) and the ATMs (102) using wireless communication. <IMAGE> |
