2 About this installation guide
This chapter is intended to help the reader navigate easily within this guide.
This guide is meant for qualified technicians or CPI-trained and authorized personnel and describes the firmware and configuration installation and
set-up procedures of the Smart7cashless reader with an MDB VMC interface or with an RS-232 coin changer interface. It considers the basic
differences between the previous reader generations in terms of set-up, operating and testing procedures. Afterwards, chapter 6 describes all relevant
status and error messages and LED codes. Whereas chapter 7 explains how to provide diagnostic and statistical data in case, technical support is
needed. Installation of the cashless reader is depicted in chapter 8.
The appended "Index" reduces the search for specific explanations.
For more information on how to configure the cashless reader using the GEN7 Configurator online tool please refer to the training videos on
the CPI
