PAYLINK with escrow

Post by sinisav »

Hi!
Need example how to start accepting notes on BNR MEI 7000 using paylink.
I wan to user put few notes in BNR but if he want to cancel - then all notes user put - should be returned like EscrowReturn (works only for single note).
But all I try with commands EscrowEnable, EscrowReturn, EscrowAccept ... event with extended version EscrowCommand - I'm unable to handle more than one note - to return.
And ReadEscrowBlock does not work (result is always zero).

...another problem is that paylink.exe (even if hidden) shows message that MEI dlls are 2.02 version but MEIBNR is for 1.10. Is it possible to suppress (not show)
that message at all.

Just to notify - I'm able sto start escrow on MEI BNR.
It is important to read a bunch of docs before... :lol:
It is important to add parameter in cfg below BNR protocol line:
Protocol MEIBNR from DLL
WITH ESCROW
... still have problem with dll version mismatch message.
need newest MEIBNR.dll I guess... compatible with latest bnr dlls I (only) have.

Hi,

The problem is that the MEI dlls do not keep the control structures the same, any version can re-arrange the layout. The result is that if there is a dll mismatch some (most) functions will work without problem, but random ones will fail!

The easiest way is if you can post a link to the 2.02 SDK, and I will build you a set of dlls. If this is a problem for you I can contact MEI / Crane directly.

Please contact MEI - I've got sdk from local partner - and don't know the state of this sdk (legal issues).
Thanks.

Hi,

I've got a copy of the 2.0.2 SDK and have recompiled the interface DLL which is now here: https://d.pr/f/bE2KBI

You need to rename it (to remove the 2.0.2 part).

Please post even if it now works, thanks

Thanks.
I've manage to test it with my 2.02 dll version and works great for now.
