CSI Readers
Field separator characters are not used. Digit fields are a continuous 16-digit sequence.
This format uses a minimum of 19 of the total 40 characters available with the ABA stan-
dard. The Mag-Tek Model MT-55 (ENCDR1) is the suggested card encoder for gener-
ating ABA Mag-Stripe cards (Track 2, High Energy) for use with CSI DPUs.
CSI data can contain only the hexadecimal characters 0 through 9. User data may contain
any hexadecimal character except 0B and 0F. User data can vary in length from zero to
21 characters. The user data is used only for LRC calculation, and is not saved.

MAGSWIPEID Field Output Installation
The MAGSWIPEID (versions B and W) are indoor magnetic stripe, single track card
readers. The field signal outputs from the reader connect to 24 AWG (0.206 mm
2
)
shielded, twisted-pair cable.
The cable from the reader connects to the DPU in one of the following ways:
✦
When connecting the reader to a DPU-7910A, the cable from the reader connects
to a breakout box (CSI BRKBOX2). The breakout box then connects to the DPU
reader ports (1A, 2A, 1B, or 2B) using an RJ45 CSI modular reader cable (CBL063).
✦
When connecting the reader to a DPU-7920, the cable from the reader can be
connected directly to TB3 or TB4 on the DPU.
Use the following steps to connect an ABA Magnetic Stripe reader to a breakout box or
directly to the DPU-7920.
