NV9USB+ CC4

[Loki_Dev]

Hi,

Does the Paylink support CC4 ( Note Recycler / Note Payout )?

I'm testing an NV9USB+ with the recycler fitted but it doesn't seem to even respond to the address poll command which I'm sending directly using "Docklight" com terminal program.

Normally this would appear as address 40

Also on the ccTalk is an azkoyen X6 - SCH2, both of which respond fine.

If anyone can offer any help, much appreciated.

Hi,

You need to run the NV9 in DES security mode. From the system manual:

Security
The connections used by Paylink fall into four categories, cctalk, RS232, MDB and USB. These
communications systems tend to match up with different markets:
cctalk is a very versatile system with a connection that is relatively vulnerable to interference.
Paylink has, as a general philosophy, the idea that it will connect to anything. Using the
cctalk DES encryption facility in general for a bill and a coin acceptor do not therefore make
sense. A DES bill recycler however makes sense, as the locked down aspect here is in the
peripheral - Paylink can connect to any recycler, but the recycler will only communicate with
Paylink.
Given the vulnerability to high value fraud of a cctalk recycler, Paylink therefore insists that
any cctalk recyclers that can support DES encryption must be used with DES encryption
turned on.

You can get a utility from Innovative which will allow you to adjust the NV9 to DES mode. You then need to get it to exchange keys with Paylink - I think you do this by powering the the acceptor up with the unit open.

Many thanks Dave,

Just was looking for some respone from it.

I assume an NV200 + Recycler would follow the same..

Hi,

From memory, the first message from Paylink concerns verifying the DES key, and in "normal" mode the NV9 doesn't respond to this.

(This could have been designed better!)
