Page 9: Firmware Version Convention
Firmware Version Convention Monitor firmware has a standard convention for the name of the firmware files. The convention is :- (Hardware Platform)(Reader Type\Model Type)(Sub Model Type)(Sub Number). (Major Number) (Minor Number) EXAMPLE MB20M01.653 This file is for an MB20 with version 6.53.01 firmware.
Page 10: Terminal Communication Encryption
Terminal Communication Encryption The terminals by default use Blowfish Encryption on IP communications. This is necessary for the security of Supervisor Net sites as they are often run on public networks, previously with pure serial communications it was not as much of an issue. The 128 bit Blowfish Encryption is very secure. The terminal will exchange an encryption key with the Supervisor Net Terminal Server when it first makes a connection.
Page 11: Terminal Ports
Terminal Ports For normal operation the Terminal uses four ports to communicate. These are listed in the following table. Port Type Base Function 10003 TCP BASE+1 Firmware Upgrades, Operator Mode 10002 TCP BASE PORT Main Comms Channel for TS 9993 BASE-9 STATUS (Server to Terminal)
Page 12: Hardware Specifications
Hardware Specifications The specifications of a Version 6 terminal are: Ethernet: Two 100Mbit Full or Half Duplex (Auto Negotiated) ports with internal hub Serial Ports: Two ports - Main serial port and Auxiliary serial port. Both ports support RS232 at speeds of 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 with a user definable parity.
Page 13: Rear Panel Layout
Rear Panel Layout Ethernet Port There are two 100Mbit ethernet ports available. They are both connected to an internal hub which auto-negotiates the speed and duplex. The bottom connector should be connected to the network point, the top connector may be connected to another device such as a printer. This gives you the ability to place the terminal in situations where there is only one network point available and its already being used by another device.
Page 14: Main Serial Port
Main Serial Port The Main Serial port is a standard RS232 port. Valid speeds are 150 – 19200 BPS. Aux Serial Port The Aux port is a standard RS232 port. Valid speeds are 150 – 19200 BPS. As mentioned in the ‘Internal Jumpers’ section, depending on the setting of CN11 either 5v or Vin will be present on pin 4 of the RJ11.

Page 19: Jp6
Fitting JP6 will connect the Power Jack input to pin 13 of the D15 connector. This can be used to either supply the terminal's power supply input to a device connected to the D15, or alternatively power the terminal from the D15 connector instead of via the DC Jack. Warning: Never short Pin 9 (+5v) to Pin 11 (Vin) once JP6 is connected.
Page 20: Jp22
JP22 JP22 is a hardware enable / disable for the beeper. By default the jumper is hard-wired to enable the beeper. The beeper can also be enabled and disabled via software in the terminal setup menu. JP64 JP64 is an I C Bus connector reserved for future use by MBM.

Hex Card Number Card Setup When enabled this will convert the card swipe number into a hexadecimal value before attempting to validate the account. HID Convert Card Setup Converts a number from an HID card into its Hot Stamp equivalent before validating the account. The Hot Stamp is the number printed on the card.
Page 32: Ignore Frame Errors On Aux Serial Port
Ignore Frame Errors on Aux Serial Port Setup Comms Frame errors are when a packet of serial data arrives missing either the start bit or one or more stop bits. Ignoring the frame errors may be desirable in circumstances where the communications are to continue regardless of errors received.
Page 33: Konica Setup
1. Metric Paper - If set to YES, Metric paper sizes are assumed. When set to NO, US/Imperial sizes are assumed. 2. DelayTime - Only set to something other than the default if instructed by Monitor. This is the amount of time the terminal waits after receiving a request from the copier before replying.

Page 36: Print Two Receipts
Print Two Receipts General Setup Forces the terminal to print two copies of a receipt. This is useful in a point of sale environment where one receipt is put in the cash drawer, and the other receipt is handed to the customer. RTS Delay Time Setup Comms Supported only on the Main serial port.
Page 37: Tcp-Ip Port
TCP-IP Port Setup Tcp/Ip This setting refers to the TCP Base port, which is the port that Supervisor Net is listening on. For normal operation the terminal uses four ports to communicate. Three are incoming ports (The terminal listens on these ports) the other port is outgoing or server destination port, i.e. the server is listening on this port.
Page 38: User Entered Prices Use Price Code Multipliers (U.e.ps Use P.c.ms)
User Entered Prices use Price Code Multipliers (U.E.Ps Use P.C.Ms) Under normal circumstances, user entered prices are not adjusted according to the normal transaction processing rules, which includes the price code multiplier of the user. When this feature is enabled, any user entered prices will be adjusted using the price code multipliers. This is helpful in an environment where the terminal is being used as a point of sale device, and you wish to have discounts based upon who the user is.

Page 83: Synchronising A Terminal With Supervisor Net
Synchronising a terminal with Supervisor Net A terminal running in offline mode must be connected to Supervisor via a network connection whenever the transaction data is required to be fed back to the main system for reporting purposes, or whenever the Primary, Secondaries or Disbursement records have been modified, added or deleted and these changes are to be updated in the terminals.
Page 84: Door
DOOR When the disbursement code is DOOR the terminal will use the disbursement in a non-conventional way. The disbursement should be configured as a standard count disbursement. The important options in the DOOR disbursement are the relay settings (Output 1 & 2). The Output 1 setting determines which relays are enabled.
Page 85: Doorms
above a user with $5.00 balance will see “Remaining Credits 4 “ displayed while the terminal is in session and the relay is closed as they have just been debited $1.00. DOORMS This disbursement is very similar to the DOOR disbursement. The main difference is that the time units for the relay enable duration is defined by the Disbursement Number itself.
Page 86 The important options in the BOOM disbursement are the relay settings (Output 1 & 2). The Output 1 setting determines which relays are enabled. The Output 2 setting determines, in seconds, the duration that the relays are closed. In the following screen capture, relay 1 will be closed for 6 seconds and the user is charged $1.00.
Page 87: Golf
GOLF The golf disbursement is designed to allow a system user to swipe a card and then select, via a terminal keyboard, how many buckets of golf balls they want. The terminal will open and close its relays for a technician configured amount of times and duration. Implementation 1.
Page 88 Example Assume disbursement ‘GOLF3’ is selected and the name is ‘GOLF031000’ and the Output 1 value is 1 and the Output 2 value is 5 . We will get 3 pulses ( from Name GOLF03xxxx not number GOLF3 ). Each pulse will last 2.5 seconds ( 5 * 500ms from Output 2 value ) The delay between pulses will be 1 seconds from Name GOLFxx1000 = 1000ms ).
Page 89: Terminal Operation
Terminal Operation The terminal is a very flexible device offering many different features and modes of operation. Basic Functions Prompts and Displays Many of the prompts are able to be customised for your site. Initial Prompt The default prompt will look like: The initial user prompts are altered in the Terminal Setup record in the Primary tab.
Page 90: Opening A Session
Opening a session To begin a session, the user either swipes their card or enters their user code followed by pressing the enter key. PIN Numbers After identifying themselves on the terminal, the user may be asked to enter a PIN number. They enter their PIN number followed by the enter key.
Page 91 In this example, a Default Secondary Number has been specified, but the Prompt For Secondary is not ticked. In this scenario,the user will not be prompted for which Secondary code they wish to do their transaction against, instead they will be recorded against this secondary number automatically: In this next example, the user has a Default Secondary Number specified and Prompt For Secondary ticked.
Page 92: Keypad Functions
Keypad Functions The MB20 Terminal has 20 keys which includes the 10 alpha-numeric keys and the special character/function keys. Special Function Buttons These buttons are the up, down and Menu Top buttons. Pressing the arrow buttons while in a menu will scroll up and down. Pressing the center dot button will move to the first item in the menu.
Page 93: Auxiliary Account Support
In a Copy Session, pressing the function button will provide you with the ability to: - Interrupt a session - Extend a session - Put a session on hold In a fax session, the function key can be used to turn the fax broadcast mode on and off. In a menu it goes to the last entry.
Page 94: Searching For Codes
Enable Code Review by ticking the option in the Secondary tab of the terminal setup record. When prompted for a secondary number, press the Function button and scroll down to Review last used. Press enter. A list of the last used codes will appear on the screen. You can scroll up and down the list by using the arrow keys, and select a code by pressing enter.
Page 95: Session Hold
Session Hold A user may put a terminal on hold during their session. This prevents others from using the terminal for a period of 10 minutes. This is helpful in situations such as a photocopier running out of paper etc. The original user must re-validate on the terminal to resume their session. Other users will be unable to open a new session during this time.
Page 96 Waiting for Setup The terminal has established a connection with the Supervisor server and is waiting for the configuration parameters to be sent down. Setup Too Big The server has sent the configuration parameters down to the terminal, but the packet of information is too big to fit in memory.
Page 97 Add Value Disabled This message occurs when an add value card has been swiped on the terminal, but the add value mode has not been enabled on that device. Other Messages Unknown Term Flt An unexpected and unhandled fault has occurred. The terminal does not know what the problem is. This error should hardly ever occur in practice and has been put into the terminal as a last resort procedure.
