PARAFAIT HARDWARE MANUAL 2011 S E M N O X S O L U T I O N S P V T L T D . Page 5 been concluded that this is extremely cumbersome for the users and alternate mechanism has to be developed 2. Enter through setting up the ADHOC network - Adhoc is considered as a point-to-point network in which each wi-fi device is linked directly to every other wi-fi device on the adhoc network. In Adhoc mode the module itself creates an "On Demand" network to which we can connect our computer as we connect other networks. IP Addresses are usually assigned through Auto IP. In our case a. When the wifi device is taken into ADHOC network mode, it’ll setup network parafait_:xx:xx – where xx:xx are the last 4 digits of the MAC Address of the wi-fi chip b. The laptop is used to connect to this ADHOC network. It’ll be assigned an IP in the range 169.254.x.x by the device c. The below specified program will then telnet to the wi-fi device and configure the parameters as entered by the user. Connecting to the Adhoc network from the computer 1. Go to network connections and select view wireless networks. 2. Select the parafait_: XX: XX where XX: XX are the last 4 digits of the MAC Address. a. This will be an open network which does not ask for a pass phrase or pass key. b. It will take some time for windows to auto assign an IP and get connected to the network. The IP address assigned by windows auto IP must be on the subnet 169.254.x.y (this can be checked by going to the command prompt and giving the command ipconfig).Obtaining the ip address in the range(169.254.x.y) ensures that the user has got connected to the ADHOC network.
PARAFAIT HARDWARE MANUAL 2011 S E M N O X S O L U T I O N S P V T L T D . Page 6 Application Details: 1. Click on the wi-fi configuration application to launch the software. a. As the software loads, a status message will be displayed to the user on the connection status (whether the user is connected to the adhoc network). b. The IP address has been set to 169.254.1.1. Click the connect button. c. The application communicates with the device and if the communication is successful, it will take the device to the command mode and the user will be able to view the parameters which have already been set in the reader. Corresponding messages will be displayed to the user (on the connection status, parameter retrieval status etc.).The MAC address of the device too will be displayed to the user. d. For the parameters retrieved, the user has the option to modify the parameters. e. The user has to enter the parameter in the respective text box and click on the apply button to set the parameter. In order to save the changes, the user has to click the save button so that the changes made by him will be stored in the device permanently. The status messages will be shown to the user after he clicks the save button thereby confirming whether the changes have been saved successfully. f. Once the configuration is completed we need to POWER ON the reader. Setting the device to the ADHOC mode: 1. When the reader loads, hold the DOWN button pressed. Then press the UP button to enter the ADHOC mode. Press the UP button again to enter the ADHOC setup. 2. Once the wifi device enters the ADHOC setup, the following configuration settings will be applied to it.

While configuring the parameters from the application, hold the reader in the ADHOC mode. This can be accomplished by holding the DOWN button when the reader loads and then pressing the UP button to enter the ADHOC mode and then pressing the DOWN button again to enter the ADHOC HOLD mode.

Interfacing Board Functionality Interfacing Board is used to deliver power & interface needed machine signal to PARAFAIT Reader. Primarily there are three connectors and five switches Connectors J1 Connector: Connect Ticket Dispensing signals from the game machine (Activation & Sensor Pulse) J2 Connector: Connect Ticket Dispensing signals from Ticket Dispenser (Activation & Sensor Pulse) J3 Connector: Connect Coin signals from the game machine Switches SW1 to SW5 Connectors J1 to J3
PARAFAIT HARDWARE MANUAL 2011 S E M N O X S O L U T I O N S P V T L T D . Page 11 J4 Connector: Connect the FRC Connector from Reader, which carries the power supply & control signals. Switch SW1: Output Sensor pulse pull ups. This is used to generate the sensor pulse in e-ticket mode. SW2: Input Activation signal pull ups. This is used to reduce the noise in the signal. SW3: Output Activation signal pull ups. This is used for proper termination to Ticket Dispenser in e-Ticket mode. SW4: Input Sensor Pulse signal pull ups. This is used to reduce the noise in the signal. SW5: Output Coin pulse pull ups. This is used to generate the Coin pulse to start the game. Interfacing boards can be configured in 3 ways. 1. Non Redemption Machine: In this configuration Parafait Reader control the Game play when a valid tap happens. The only connection required (apart from the power and ground) is the coin pulse. The coin pulse wire is tapped and connected to the interface board using the connector J3. See below table to get detailed pin description. 2. Redemption Machine: In this configuration Parafait Reader Control the Game plays when valid tap happens & controls the ticket out. Use connectors J1, J2, J3 to interface the machine with interfacing board. See below table to get detailed pin descriptions. 3. Ticket Eater: In this configuration Parafait Reader will function as ticket eater and count the tickets and load to the respective card. Use connectors J1 & J2 to interface the machine with Interfacing Board. See below table to get detailed pin descriptions.

Crimping reverse will damage the Reader) Configuration Settings Switch settings are used to configure the different types of machines to Parafait Interfacing Board. Depends on the machine signals need to set switch setting on the interfacing board. Below table will give a brief description on the Switch Settings. Switch Switch Details Descriptions SW1 1 -> 5 Volt pull up 2 -> 12 Volt pull up For e-Ticket, Parafait Reader will generate the Sensor Pulse for machine. Check the voltage level of the Sensor Pulse by default & use the respective pull up. SW2 1 -> 12 Volt pull up 2 -> 5 Volt pull up 3 -> Pull down (Connected to ground through 10K) 4 -> Pull down (Connected to ground through 4.7K) To isolate the noise in Activation Signal. When board is configured in Non Redemption machine SW2.2 should be set, so that Activation Signal will be terminated properly. SW3 1 -> 12 Volt pull up 2 -> 5 Volt pull up 3 -> Pull down (Connected to ground through 10K) In e-Ticket mode the ticket dispenser will be open so to terminate set the switch. Check the Activation Signal by default MACHINE TICKET DISPENSER Activation Signal Sensor Pulse Signal

SW4 1 -> 12 Volt pull up 2 -> 5 Volt pull up 3 -> Pull down (Connected to ground through 10K) 4 -> Pull down (Connected to ground through 4.7K) To isolate the noise in Sensor Pulse. When board is configured in Non Redemption machine SW2.2 should be set, so that activation signal will be terminated properly. SW5 1 -> 5 Volt pull up 2 -> 12 Volt pull up 3 -> Short to Ground 4 -> Short to Ground To generate correct Coin pulse set this switch. Check the default voltage level of the coin pulse. For ex: For coin logic active low signal on the SW5.3 or SW5.4. When the switches are TURNED ON Coin Pulse 2(J3.4) shouldn’t be connected, and Vice -versa. Interface Board – Game Machine Below section details how the interface board needs to be connected to the game machine. There are two scenarios 1. Coin machine (non ticket) – Here the objective is to generate the coin pulse so that the game machine starts operating. 2. Redemption machine (ticket) – Beyond generating the coin pulse, the ticket dispensing needs to be handled. This needs to handle two modes of operation a. Physical mode – Here the machine dispenses physical tickets. This needs to be counted by the Parafait system b. E-Ticket mode – Here the machine will not dispense physical tickets. We need to give appropriate pulses to the game machine so that the game machines considers that the tickets have been dispensed
