Connect two JCM iPro on paylink

Post by tcubells »

Hi everyone


I have the need to use two JCM iPro recyclers with the paylink.

Has anyone tried this combination?
Is it feasible?

Which protocol is better for this case, cctalk or ID-003?


Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice

Regards

Hi,

I don't think that iPro with cctalk is currently supported by Paylink. (The cctalk Vega is only supported with the single roll protocol messages)

iPro with ID-003, on RS-232, can be supported as Paylink has two RS-232 connections, the Molex one on the side and the RJ45 next to the USB connector. You just put two Protocol ID003 entries in Standard.cfg, specifying the two different ports.

The AcceptorBlock.InterfaceNumber field should let you tell the two apart.

Hi dave

From what you say I have to connect the two iPro with ID-003 to each serial port of the Paylink, one in the molex and another in the RJ-45

If you look at the configuration file that the serial in RJ-45 only has an option for the acceptor, only the RS-232 of the molex offers the two options of acceptor or reclycer.


//Protocol ID003 on connector RS232 With Acceptor
//Protocol ID003 on connector RS232 With Recycler
//Protocol ID003 on connector RJ45 With Acceptor
//Protocol ID003 on Paylink Lite With Recycler

Hi,

The Standard.cfg is examples rather than an exhaustive list of options.

Code: Select all

Protocol ID003 on connector RS232 With Recycler
Protocol ID003 on connector RJ45 With Recycler
is completely acceptable.

Hi Dave


I was unaware that paylynk allows modifications to these options.

I will test it and report the results to you


Thank you very much

Hi Dave



Following your advice, I have tested two JCM iPro-RC with ID-003 with the paylink. As you claimed, the tests have been satisfactory

Now I can start with the integration work in my application using the paylink libraries.

Thank you very much for your invaluable help,


Best regards
