Configuration
This chapter describes how to use the GEN7 Configurator online tool to:
• Assign a Smart7 cashless reader to a customer or location
• Configure a cashless reader
• Change default cashless reader parameters
• Update a cashless reader using a configuration file
The last sub-chapter summarizes the cashless reader's set-up and configuration
Unlike previous generation 6 devices, the G7 reader configurations will only be managed via the GEN7 Configurator online tool, which also provides
the most recent firmware versions for the hardware.

An additional tool, like the Generation 6 MDSmanager software, is neither required nor supported anymore in generation 7. This also means
no backward compatibility to G6 configurations.
In G7, the firmware of the reader is automatically updated to the "latest" version when the reader configuration is changed or updated. Both files,
firmware and configuration are contained in an archive with encrypted files included. The archive file has to be downloaded to the reader.
If the reader receives an archive, it unzips the file and verifies the integrity of its content. The reader then performs the firmware update to the latest
version in the archive file before applying the new configuration parameters in the archive file.
