STARTUP AND CONFIGURATION 

 

 

Ensure the installation process and electrical connections have been carried out as described in the previous 

chapters. The GAT Vending 6100 BA starts automatically when power is applied to the device. 

 

For the configuration of the GAT Vending 6100 BA, the difference between the 

system settings

 and the 

configuration settings 

must be clarified. The system settings affect how the device communicates with the 

network and the configuration settings affect how the device operates and interacts with the user. 

 

 

5.1  Starting the GAT Vending 6100 BA 

 

The startup process begins when power is supplied to the GAT Vending 6100 BA. The GANTNER logo and the 

currently installed software version ("BL-Vers.") is displayed. The status LEDs flash green and red alternately and 

the terminal searches for a connection to the vending machine and network.  

 

 

 

Figure 5.1 

– Start screen of the GAT Vending 6100 BA 

 

The startup process takes up to one minute after which the terminal displays the current system settings.
