Abstract
A base self-service terminal (SST) system comprises a host device and a first set of peripherals. The base SST system can operate in standalone mode to process self-service transactions when the base SST system is placed on a horizontal surface or mounted to a pedestal. The base SST system processes the self-service transactions utilizing the first set of peripherals and a second set of peripherals when the base SST system is docked within an integrated peripheral device or a peripheral bridge appliance. The integrated peripheral device comprises the second set of peripherals or the second set of peripherals are made available through the peripheral bridge appliance. One or more additional peripherals are attachable and removable from the base SST system and one or more accessory modules are attachable and removable from the base SST system, the integrated peripheral device, and/or the peripheral bridge appliance.
