Abstract
This invention discloses an edge control all-in-one machine and an edge control method. The edge control all-in-one machine integrates a card reader module, a network management module, and a communication module, enabling the reading and writing of ticket transaction data in AFC terminal devices, the acquisition of network status information, and data interaction with other AFC terminal devices. Simultaneously, the communication module can directly upload data packets from its own device to a Layer 3 switch in the external network layer, thereby achieving cross-LAN communication. This invention eliminates the need for a Layer 2 switch in each AFC terminal device; instead, it uses an edge control all-in-one machine integrated into the AFC terminal device to achieve data communication between multiple AFC terminal devices. Furthermore, the edge control all-in-one machine has wireless communication capabilities, saving architectural design space for terminal devices and eliminating the need for cabling connections between terminal devices, thus further reducing subsequent maintenance costs by reducing the number of cables.
