NXT Wash equipment and software glossary
Plain-language meanings of the equipment labels and software terms used in this library.
Network and rack terms
| Term / diagram label | Meaning in this library |
|---|---|
| NXTR / NXT Wash router | The gateway connecting NXT Wash's local networks to the site's internet connection. |
| PSw / primary switch | The central network switch connecting site and lane equipment. The current White Water map uses 24 ports. |
| Lane switch / L1 Sw | The local switch serving a lane's devices; its uplink connects back to the primary switch. |
| POS switch | The local switch for POS equipment; the map shows the printer, card reader and POS terminal connections. |
| Patch panel | The rack's cable-termination/patching area, shown between the router mount and primary switch in the preferred layout. |
| LAN | Local area network. The map distinguishes the site-device LAN from the TCS tunnel LAN. |
| VLAN 120 | The assigned network segment for the documented TCS tunnel connection. It does not by itself define an endpoint's IP address or tagging settings. |
| PoE | Power over Ethernet: a compatible switch supplies power through the network cable. White Water's RFID readers and cameras use it. |
| DHCP | Automatic IP assignment. Both lane and POS card readers are shown as DHCP devices in the map. |
| Home run / feed line | The network cable connecting a lane or workstation area back to the main network. |
| UPS / battery backup | Backup power equipment at the bottom of the preferred rack arrangement. Required capacity and runtime depend on the selected installation. |
Devices and recognition
| Term / diagram label | Meaning in this library |
|---|---|
| MW / middleware computer | The computer running local NXT Wash integration services. A lane middleware computer connects the replacement screen and installed peripherals to NXT Wash. |
| Middleware server | A service-host role in the network map, planned at .50; lane middleware devices have separate .101–.109 addresses. |
| POS | Point of sale: the staff sales terminal/application. |
| Kiosk / lane terminal | The customer-facing sales station in a lane. The replacement screen uses HDMI for picture and USB for touch. |
| Tunnel loader / TNL LDR | The station/application used for the tunnel vehicle/wash handoff. It is separate from the tunnel controller. |
| Tunnel controller / TNL CNTR | Equipment controlling tunnel functions. Match the installed controller model to its applicable guide. |
| TCS1 / TCS2 | Tunnel-controller equipment families documented in the White Water references. Model-specific hardware and network instructions apply. |
| TunnelWatch | Tunnel-control software referenced in the controller guides. Its existing settings are separate from the requested NXT Wash integration-configuration GUI. |
| rTC | Kesseltronics tunnel controller; the standard map lists its interface at 192.168.100.91. |
| CC reader / PAX | Credit-card payment reader. PAX is the reader brand shown in the lane and POS diagrams. |
| EMV reader | Payment-card reader term used in the conversion requirements. Use the installed PAX model's mounting and setup guide. |
| RFID | Radio-frequency identification used to read membership tags. A detected tag still needs correct lane routing and customer matching. |
| LPR / ALPR | License-plate recognition / automatic license-plate recognition. |
| Jetson / JET | The lane processing device used for the camera's license-plate recognition feed. |
| Rekor Scout | Recognition software referenced by the Jetson setup guide. |
| CAM / lane camera | The camera providing the lane recognition image stream. |
| Car Pics | The optional additional camera view shown separately from the lane recognition camera. |
Software and configuration
| Term | Meaning in this library |
|---|---|
| UIRM | The local application component managed by the middleware installer; its web interface is listed on port 5173. |
| Local Kiosk / Local Tunnel | Local application endpoints listed on ports 5174 and 5175. Select the service host for the intended role. |
| Lane Assist | Application listed on port 5182, with a separate WebSocket service on 5176. |
| Lane Customer Display / Tunnel Welcome Display | Display applications listed on ports 5183 and 5184. |
| Middleware API | The software interface to middleware. The map lists v1 documentation at /swagger and v2 at /api/v2/docs, both on port 5000. |
| Endpoint | A service address, normally consisting of the host IP, port and any required path. |
| WebSocket | The application connection type identified by the map's ws:// Lane Assist endpoint. |
| Cash middleware | The software component handling communication with configured bill acceptors and dispensers. |
| PM2 | Process-management tooling used for local application startup and logs in the middleware installer references. |
| Lane mapping | The association between a device or recognition event and the lane that should receive it. |
| Preconfiguration | Preparing the device's software and site/lane settings before it arrives. It still needs a documented handoff and site acceptance check. |
| Cutover | Moving a site function from its previous operating arrangement to NXT Wash during the agreed work window. |
