The vending reader allows MDB vending machines to be used with Blackboard Transaction System (BbTS), and uses an ethernet connection to communicate to the host server. Communication of host downloads and reader transactions use a maintained Transport Layer Security (TLS) Secure Communication Channel to meet PCI Compliance. The VR4100 Vending Reader can be used in any vending machine that complies with the National Automated Merchandising Association Multi-Drop Bus (NAMA MDB) interface specification. Many vending machines manufactured today support this interface. A specially encoded service card is required to configure the VR4100 reader. Service cards are ordered separately.

OBJECTIVES After reading this guide you can: • Install the vending reader • Configure the vending reader • Test the vending reader • Reset reader factory defaults PRINTED OCTOBER 19, 2010 VENDING READER VR4100 INSTALLATION GUIDE D OCUMENT 1 2 7 7 REV 02 SETUP OVERVIEW 1. Configure the reader in BbTS. See: the Transaction System Administration Guide 2. Reader Installation (page 1-4). 3. Reader Configuration (page 1-7). 4. Reader Test (page 1-17). Figure 2: Setup Overview PRINTED OCTOBER 19, 2010 READER INSTALLATION READER I NSTALLATION All wiring should be completed by a trained electronic technician. To install the reader Power down the vending machine. Refer to the vending machine operation manual. Prepare a 3.3" x 4.2" cut-out (slightly larger allows reader to fit easily), and then drill four 3/16" holes for mounting studs in the center locations of the slots. See: the Vending Reader Face and Mounting Dimensions (page 1-5). If replacing an existing bill acceptor, remove the bill acceptor. If installing in a pre-cut opening, remove the filler plate. Slide the face of the reader through the opening from the inside of the machine. If using a mounting plate, slide it over the face of the reader from the outside of the machine. Install four flat washers and four nuts or threaded standoffs onto the threaded studs to secure the reader. If installing in a non-conductive panel in the vending machine (such as a plastic front panel), a customer supplied ground wire should be connected from one of the mounting studs to a grounded metal part inside the machine. Data cables are susceptible to electrical noise that can corrupt data. Avoid routing cables near electrical equipment, including fluorescent lights, compressors, and motors.

Connect one end of the supplied CAT5 network cable into the reader: Ethernet connection (10/100Base-T): 'NET' port The network cable is a CAT5 patch cable with RJ45 connectors on each end. PRINTED OCTOBER 19, 2010 READER INSTALLATION Route the network cable from the VR4100 out the back of the vending machine. Typically this should be routed across the door hinge along a cable bundle that already crosses the door hinge. Use wire ties to hold all wires away from any mechanically moving parts such as hinges, the coin return lever linkage, door latch, etc. STOP! DO NOT connect the other end of the network cable to the wall plate until reader configuration is complete. 10 Power up the vending machine. This powers up the reader.

The Audit is initiated with a Manager Card swipe or tap. The Manager Card provides management and reporting capabilities on specific remote unattended reader devices. To add a Manager Card, see: the Transaction System Administration Guide. The reader displays Audit messages at a slow rate for manually recording, about 10 seconds per message. Once the entire message cycle is complete, the reader reports the date, manager, and amount of cash transactions to Transaction System and resets interval totals to zero. Amounts are reported on the Net Sales By Location Report. A Manager Card must be swiped to initialize audit counts. To view audit totals Swipe the Manager Card. Click Audit Totals.
