General Settings

Maximum PIN Number 1~6

This option sets the maximum number of digits required when using a PIN code. If a PIN only is being used and
the PIN code is less than the number of digits set under this setting, the # key is required to complete the action.

Number of Lines in Screen

This is the number of transactions kept in active
memory, allowing the user to see them instantly on the
main screen. A larger number will use more memory and
can affect the speed of the software.

Transaction Screen Pause

When the main screen is full with transactions, yellow
buttons appear allowing you to temporarily stop incoming
transactions. Transactions will still be stored on the hard
disk for viewing at a later stage through the report
module. After the set time, the system will automatically
resume. The default setting is 5 minutes.

Function Settings

Allow Auto Detecting New Devices

Auto detect can be switched off if required.

Allow Auto Download

System and cardholder data is automatically downloaded to the
controller when you close and go back to the main screen. When
switched off, downloads have to be done manually using the Utilities,
Download menu.

Enable Special Functions

For engineering purposes only. The default setting is off.

Enable Full Card Matching

This feature allows the use of facility code, site code, card number and
issue number. Some card manufacturers occasionally use site code
and issue number. The default setting is off.

Auto Email Bug List on Exit

This feature is for beta test site purposes only. The default setting is
off.
