POS systems in which PIN and/or manual data-entry capability are required. As such, the L100 is a natural complement to ID TECH’s Spectrum Pro insert reader. Together, the Spectrum Pro and L100 provide an EMV Level 2 chip-and-PIN solution (suitable for use in kiosks and other unattended applications), meeting ADA, ANSI, PCI, and ISO standards for PIN Entry. -

Page 7: Setting Up Removal Detection
3 Setting Up Removal Detection Before the SmartPIN L100 can be paired, it must be placed in Removal Detection Mode. Please follow the steps below carefully to activate the Removal Detection feature on the PIN pad. It is highly recommended that you read through the entire procedure, and become thoroughly familiar with it, before attempting to carry it out. -

stout spring-clips (or C-clamps, etc.) to hold the buttons down. If you use spring clips, take care that they don't slip off prematurely. After the buttons are secured, you will need to activate Removal Detection Mode. (You can later deactivate this mode, then move the unit to a kiosk or other fixture, then reactivate it.) But first, you need to set the removal detection passwords. - Page 9 powering on.) After this, the device will start beeping continuously to signify that the passwords have not yet been set. Also, the LCD screen will prompt you to enter a password. Note: If the device does not beep continuously after the Cancel, Clear, Enter, Blank, Clear, Enter sequence was entered, it means the passwords have already been set and you can skip to the next section: Activate Removal...

the new Password 2 is entered, the device will beep twice to confirm the input of the new password. Keep the new Password 2 in your records. 8. The device will prompt you to reenter the password. Enter the new Password 2 again to confirm the setting of the new password. -
Page 11: Pairing (High Level Overview)
4 Pairing (High Level Overview) As long as the Spectrum Pro and L100 have each been injected with a Pairing Key, pairing the units is straightforward, as it merely requires sending Spectrum Pro a specific firmware command (76 46 38 00 00), which you can easily do with the Universal Demo's "Send Data Command"... -
Page 12: Verify Spectrum Pro Key Status
Note: The Poll Reader command returns six bytes of data. We refer to the first byte as Byte Zero, the second byte as Byte 1, etc. Refer to the Spectrum Pro Low Level Command API Guide (P/N 8014505-001) for further details. -

Spectrum Pro). 4.2 Verify L100 Key Status Connect L100 to Spectrum Pro and place the Spectrum Pro in pass-through mode using the 72 46 20 command. Essentially, pass-through mode enables commands to be sent to the L100 while it is connected to Spectrum Pro (with Spectrum Pro connected to a host computer). -
Page 14: Pair The Units
6. Verify that the units are paired. (See below.) 4.4 Verify the Pairing You can and should verify that the Spectrum Pro has recognized the L100 and is correctly paired with it. The recommended procedure is as follows. 1. With the L100 connected to the Spectrum Pro and the Spectrum Pro connected to a host, send the Spectrum Pro the Poll Reader command. - Page 15 9F33 set to enable PIN-related CVMs.) Insert a Chip-and-PIN ICC payment card in the Spectrum Pro and run the Start EMV Transaction command. Monitor the L100 LCD screen. If the card requires PIN entry, you...

4.5 Checking for Encrypted PIN Block You can also verify the pairing status by seeing if the Spectrum Pro/L100 combo will prompt you for a PIN, and returned an encrypted PIN block, when you use the Get PIN from MSR command in the Universal Demo app. -

d. Select Enable CR from the menu. (Use * and # keys to move up and down on the menu.) 5. Use the demo app's Start MSR command, and insert/remove a magstripe card into/out of the reader. 6. Use the demo app's Get PIN from MSR command (see screen shot below). The L100, if it is paired properly, will prompt you for PIN entry. -
Page 18: Troubleshooting Tips
5.1 Troubleshooting Tips Spectrum Pro is designed to interoperate with L100 when both units are in a "final-installation" state, such that each unit has its removal detection features enabled. If units that were working properly in the lab suddenly fail to produce a PIN block after installation in the field, the most likely reason is that one or the other unit is not in the removal-detection state.
