First Claim
1. A method, performed by a data control system, for securing data on a local area network having one or more point of sale devices and one or more non-point of sale devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining the data is from a first non-point of sale device on the local area network;
(b) preventing the data from the first non-point of sale device from being sent to a point of sale device on the local area network; and
(c) allowing the data from the first non-point of sale device to be sent to a second non-point of sale device on the local area network.

Abstract
A data control system for a local area network (100) prevents non-point of sale devices (135,155) from sending data to point of sale devices (125,145) on the local area network (100) but allows non-point of sale devices (135,155) to send data to other non-point of sale devices (135,155) on the local area network. The data control system may define a non-point of sale network (130,150) within the local area network (100) and determine the data is from the non-point of sale network (130,150) if the data is associated with a service set identifier or a port corresponding to the non-point of sale network (130,150). The data control system may also prevent wireless non-point of sale devices (135) from sending data to wired non-point of sale devices (155) and prevent wired non-point of sale devices (155) from sending data to wireless non-point of sale devices (135).
