Note: If you have firmware version 1.1 or older, please update the firmware first. Otherwise the chapter 3 is not relevant and another configuration util has to be used. 1.3 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The YSoft SafeQ Ethernet Reader is based on Terminal UltraLight. YSoft SafeQ Ethernet Reader provides compact, fast and simple user interface for authorization to printer. It has no display available; there-fore user interaction is limited to status leds. User authentication (on Ethernet Reader) is possible only with card. Compatibility with following YSoft SafeQ editions is guaranteed:  YSoft SafeQ PCAS 3.1.5.15 and newer  YSoft SafeQ PCAS 3.5 Instant Edition (all releases)  YSoft SafeQ PCAS 3.6 Professinal and Enterprise Edition 1.4 TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS Ethernet Reader YSoft SafeQ Ethernet Reader MFD Multi-Functional Device 1.5 DISCLAIMER The user that makes changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (Y Soft Corporation a.s NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

User can use also the PIN authorization (using the MFD integrated panel). The Device Server has to be confi-gured properly. Picture 1 - System Overview Only selected card readers are supported by Ethernet Reader. The Ethernet Reader is displayed on the Picture 2.
6.12.2010 YSOFT SAFEQ ETHERNET READER  ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE V1.3 [EN] 6/17 Picture 2 - Ethernet Reader The Ethernet Reader is equipped with a 2-ports network switch and so it is not necessary to provide another Ethernet socket for connection - the copier or printer can be connected via the terminal. It features a micro-computer, flash ROM, network interface and a card reader. Terminal is powered by external power supply that is also included in installation package. Picture 3 - Interface of Ethernet Reader The emergency button is used for reset the terminal into default settings. 2.2 ETHERNET READER SPECIFICATION Parameter Value Identification Using a card reader Network 2-port 10/100 Mbit switch (auto MDI/MDIX) Processor Freescale Coldfire v2 Memory 64kB RAM, 512kB Flash

Ethernet Reader has own IP and MAC address. There is special tool for configuration of Ethernet Reader  SafeQ Terminal Configuration utils  see Picture 4. Note: This util applies to Ethernet Reader (based on YSoft SafeQ® Terminal UltraLight) with firmware version 1.2 and newer. There is another tool for older firmware version. Picture 4 - SafeQ Terminal Configuration util When you start this tool and press on Scan button, the tool discovers all the readers in the same network (in-dependently on the network settings), see Picture 5. You can change settings for the particular reader in the list and using Save button the configuration is applied. Upon successful configuration change the terminal will be rebooted.
6.12.2010 YSOFT SAFEQ ETHERNET READER  ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE V1.3 [EN] 9/17 Picture 5 - Ethernet Reader configuration There is a default network configuration used for Ethernet Reader:  DHCP=0  IP=192.168.0.100  NETMASK=255.255.255.0  GATEWAY=192.168.0.254  DNS=192.168.0.254  SERVERIP=192.168.0.254:5011  SERVERUPD=192.168.0.254:4096 The SERVERIP corresponds to the IP address and port of the Yused for card authentication. The SERVERUDP corresponds to the SafeQ server and serves for firmware updates. Emergency button is the way how to reset the terminal into default settings if anything goes wrong with the configuration. Also it is possible to do some other actions such as force firmware update. The correct procedure of using the emergency button is the following:  Unplug the reader power cable  Use a paper clip or a tiny screwdriver to push the emergency button. Hold the button pressed.  Plug the terminal power back.  The terminal now starts with short series of beeps with a longer pause between them. The action is se-lected by releasing the button in the pause. Once the beep count reaches selectable maximum it starts over again from 1. To cancel any selection unplug the power cable and release the button.  1 beep - do a set default configuration  2 beeps - do the firmware emergency update  3 beeps - do the normal firmware update  4 beeps - do the emergency reload - reset configuration to default and start emergency update
6.12.2010 YSOFT SAFEQ ETHERNET READER  ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE V1.3 [EN] 10/17  5 beeps - set network configuration to use DHCP server  After the action is selected it is processed and the reader is rebooted after that It is possible to enter emergency button menu by holding the button for more than 5 seconds when Ethernet Reader firmware has booted and the terminal is in default "Place card" state.

6.12.2010 YSOFT SAFEQ ETHERNET READER  ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE V1.3 [EN] 13/17 5 ETHERNET READER FIRMWARE 5.1 SERVICE FIRMWARE Service firmware is the most important part of the reader firmware. Right after power-up it will check the emergency button if any action is required. Then it will check the normal firmware for integrity. If the normal firmware is not valid then the emergency firmware will connect to server in emergency mode and download the firmware. If the normal firmware integrity is ok, then it is started. 5.2 READER FIRMWARE Ethernet Reader firmware is the main part of the firmware. It initializes network, autodetects readers and sends the card number to the server when card is placed. By default the firmware starts UDP locator server which will help detecting available readers on the local network. Also the TCP configuration server is started. 5.3 FIRMWARE UPDATE The following line must be added to conf/modules/safeQ.fwupdate.conf file on the SafeQ server for the emergency update of Ethernet Reader: update-fw-ulemergency = update_file_with_ultralight_firmware Example (it is similar to Terminal Professional): update-fw-0.7.0ul = ultralight-0.8.fw
