Machine Attributes - Card Readers

In the "Card Readers" section we configure mainly the POS (point of sale) attributes, which will relate to the card expectance of the device.
We have many attributes related to each section of the configuration, hence we will focus on the main attributes.

Card reader MDB Level - This parameter should be set according to the machine MDB level.
MDB level 1 gives basic features.
MDB Level 2 is needed for revalue.
MDB level 3 is needed for "Always Idle" state.

Decimal Place - Defines the way currency values are sent to the machine.
For example - Value sent to machine: 10
With Decimal 0: amount is 10$
With Decimal 1: amount is 1.0$
With Decimal 2: amount is 0.1$
EMV contactless Transaction Limit - This parameter defines the maximum amount that can be approved in a contactless EMV transaction

Extended Cards Support - Defines the types of credit cards accepted.
The value should be set according to the country.

Transaction Start Ignore List - Setting "Ignore EMV Cless", will prevent Contactless EMV cards from starting a transaction.
It would still be possible to pay using contactless EMV cards after product selection.

Transaction Start Method - Define how to start a transaction.
Keep in mind that some options need to be supported on the machine side as well.

VPOS Button Function - For Preauthorization transaction flow select: "1 - External Cancel".
For Preselection transaction flow select: "5 - Btn Start/Card Start + External Cancel".
For Pulse increments select: "2 - Pulse Price Roll".

VPOS Card Options - This Parameter defines where the Credit card's information is read from.

VPOS Read Source Enabled - Defines which card reading sensor is activated on the VPOS.

Note:

• The parameters showing on the screenshots may differ from the parameters available on your Machines page due to different device configurations
• If some attributes are missing, go to the Attributes tab and enable the ones you need from the lists provided
• To apply changes to the device, make sure to check the box of the relevant parameter > click "Actions" > Update Queue. Then, click on "Action" again > Restart device.

In the "Communication" section, we will define in which way the device will communicate (VPN, MQTT, Ethernet) as well as extracting some data regards to network.

Communication Mode - This Parameter will dictate the Unit Communication Mode:
Disabled - Unit will connect using regular APN (Dynamic IP - SIM)
VPN Enabled - The unit will connect using VPN (Static IP - SIM). If the VPN fails, the unit will connect using APN.
MQTT Enabled - Unit will connect using APN and MQTT, once configuring this parameter all necessary MQTT configuration will be sent automatically (user name, password, etc..).
VPN Only - Unit will connect using VPN (No Fall-back)

Keep Alive Poll Interval (sec) - Defines the Keep-Alive time interval in seconds. The default value is 2500 sec, meaning the unit will communicate with the server every 2500 sec.

WPN - Primary Address - Primary APN Server address.
When the unit is configured to use APN, this will be the first address the unit will try to connect to.

WPN - Backup Address - Backup APN Server address.
When the unit is configured to use APN, this will be the third address the unit will try to connect to.

VPN - Primary Address - Primary VPN Server address.
When the unit is configured to use VPN, this will be the first address the unit will try to connect to.

VPN - Secondary Address - Secondary VPN Server address.
When the unit is configured to use VPN, this will be the Second address the unit will try to connect to.

VPN - Backup Address - Backup VPN Server address.
When the unit is configured to use VPN, this will be the third address the unit will try to connect to.
