SRO .NET Activator
What is SroDotNetActivator?
SroDotNetActivator is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed to facilitate communication between SRO web applications (particularly Point of Sale systems) and peripheral devices ranging from sales poll, cash drawers, magnetic card readers and more. It achieves this by running .NET-based integration components that communicate with these peripherals via sockets, com ports, serial ports, and lower-level (DLL or COM-based) APIs. It essentially bridges the gap between JavaScript code and peripheral devices, making data collection and transaction processing efficients.

Extension summary

SRO is a web application which besides other things serves a Point of Sale. As such it needs to communicate with various peripheral devices. This includes but is not limited to sales poll, cash drawer, magnetic card readers, chip & pin devices and more. Many of those devices only support an integration flow which involves communication through sockets, com ports, serial ports etc. Some of devices require low-level (DLL or COM-based) APIs to be called as part of integration flow. SRO plugin assists in that. It runs .NET-based integration components which in their turn communicate with peripherals in an appropriate low-level way. The diagram of JavaScript code - to - plugin - to peripheral communication is illustrated by attached diagram
