Recycling the MSR Module

En vi ron men tal pro tec ti on does not be gin when

pro duct was de sig ned ac cor ding to our in ter nal

norm “En vi ron men tal cons ci ous pro duct de sign

and de ve lop ment”

The swipe card reader is manufactured without the use of CFCs und CCHS

and is produced mainly from reusable components and materials.

The used plastic materials can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the

precious metals can be recycled, which saves energy and costly raw

materials.

Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to

re-use components and material.

You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when

it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode, as this

WARRANTY

wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer

break or finish your work.

At present, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf

disposes of old devices in an environmentally sensitive way using a

recycling center that is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, as is the rest of

the company.

So don’t simply throw your swipe card reader on the scrap heap when it has

served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date

recycling methods!

Plea se con tact your com pe tent branch or the Re cy cling Cen ter Pa der born,

Before Switching on the System

Un pac king and Chec king the Sys tem

Unpack the parts and check to see whether the delivery matches the

information on the delivery note.

If damage has occurred during shipping or if the package contents do not

match the delivery note, promptly inform your Wincor Nixdorf sales outlet.

Trans port the de vi ce only in its ori gi nal pa cka ging (to pro tect it against

im pact and shock).

BEFORE SWITCHING ON THE SYSTEM

Swipe Card Reader (MSR Module)

General

The swipe card reader can read three ISO tracks simultaneously in one

single swipe.

The MSR module is fitted on the right-hand side of the screen module. The

connection is made via an MF2 interface.

How to Ope ra te

Run the swipe card through the slit of the swipe card reader from top to

bottom in a quick and steady movement. Make sure that the magnetic strip

is to the right.

When using swipe cards, the following should be observed:

swipe cards should never be allowed to come into contact with liquids.

swipe cards should not be bent or folded in any way.

swipe cards should not be allowed to come into close contact with a

magnetic field.

Swi pe cards should only be in ser ted in the top of the spe ci al ly de sig ned slit

of the rea ding de vi ce. If the card is in ser ted in anot her pla ce, the reading

head could be damaged.

Clea ning In struc tions

In order to guarantee good reading results over a longer period of time, the

swipe card reader should be cleaned once a week. This is carried out by

using a special cleaning card that can be purchased from Wincor Nixdorf.

Clean the surface of the swipe card reader with a suitable commercially

available surface cleaner.

Make sure that the power plug is disconnected, connector cables are

unplugged and that no liquid finds its way into the device.

General

Installation

Insert the delivered

screws (Phillips Head)

into the positions marked

by the arrows (12.1"

screen). Fasten the

screws a little but do not

screw them too tightly.

Two positions are

available at the 15"

screen. In this illustration

it is the upper positions

which are marked with

two arrows. There is a

second, lower position.

Fasten the screws

slightly, leaving enough

place for the sheet metal.

INSTALLATION

Then place the MSR with

the openings (see arrows)

on to the screws and push it

to the right.

Tighten the screws.

Do not touch the electronic board.

Connect the cable to the

upper socket (1) and put the

cable into the guide of the

cable (2).

If a keyboard is to be

connected, use the second

connection below (3).

Pro gram ming the MSR and Firmware Upgrade

The MSR controller provides programmable start- and end-sequences for

the MSR. A loadable country table can be used for the data.

This firmware concept is necessary for the software to produce the utility for

programming the MSR controller.

The necessary commands are described on the following pages.

A Loader upgrade will not be supported.

Flash Structure

Implemented in the hardware of the MSR controller is a 64K-Byte FLASH. It

maintains the Loader, MSR controller parameter, MSR data

(start-/ende-sequences, country table), firmware header and the firmware.

The pagesize is min. 128 Byte.

For the Atmel microcontroller AT89C51RD2 the Flash-API routines have

been moved from the 64kByte Flash area to an extra 2kByte Boot ROM

area.

Commands for Programming

For the handling of start-/end-sequences for MSR and the country tables,

new commands were generated. For explanation of the following

abbreviations please refer to the table "meaning of command syntax" in this

chapter. The introduction command ‘D7’h is sent from the system and will

be acknowledged with ‘FA’h from MSR controller. The introduction

command ‘D7’h is followed by the byte ComSel (Command-Select), which

differentiates following orders:

Era se MSR Flash Pa ges

With this command the MSR area of Flash will be erased. This means it will

be set to default.

COMMANDS FOR PROGRAMMING

With this command the start-/end-sequences (header/trailer) for each of the

three possible tracks of the MSR can be written into the Flash. After

successful programming these start-/end sequences will be sent to the

system for each programmed track no. while reading a magnet stripe card

successfully.

NOTE for possible data lengths

The maximum number of codes for Header strings is 32 and for Trailer

strings is 16. At the interface between MSR controller and the system make

codes consist of 1 byte and break codes of 2 bytes. So a Header string may

consist of up to 10 simple keystrokes and a trailer string of 5 simple key-

strokes. Note, however, that there exist so-called extended keys, with 2

bytes make code and 3 bytes break code. Also, if large letters or special

characters occur in the string, additional shift keystrokes will be inserted

automatically by the KB-Utility (KbUti.exe).

The values above are calculated in the case the MSR tracks of

Otherwise, if header/trailer are programmed the GAP duration may be a

little bit higher.

This is the maximum time in which the loader must send an acknowledge of

a command. Time starts after the acknowledge of the last command byte.

The waiting time is necessary, because the keyboard has no chance to lock

the interface. The loader utility must ensure that no data will be sent during

the waiting time. The value is 0-255 Seconds.

The wai ting time for the com mand “Loa der Ac ti vat ion” is 2 Se conds.
