7.5:Smiley® Secure Protocol – SSP
Note:
Please refer to the Smiley
®
Secure Protocol (SSP) Specification (ITL Drawing GA138) on the
web site for full details of this Protocol.
To use SSP mode DIP switch 3 must be set up and DIP switch 4 must be set down.
SSP is a secure serial interface specifically designed to address the problems experienced by cash
handling systems in gaming machines. Problems such as acceptor swapping, reprogramming
acceptors and line tapping are all addressed. This interface is recommended for all new designs.
The interface uses a master slave model, the host machine is the master and the peripherals (note
acceptor, coin acceptor or coin hopper) are the slaves.
Data transfer is over a multi-drop bus using clock asynchronous serial transmission with simple open
collector drivers. The integrity of data transfers is ensured through the use of 16 bit CRC checksums
on all packets.
Each SSP device of a particular type has a unique serial number, this number is used to validate
each device in the direction of credit transfer before transactions can take place .
Commands are currently provided for coin acceptors, note acceptors and coin hoppers. All current
features of these devices are supported.
Features:
•
Serial control of Note / Coin Validators and Hoppers
•
4 wire (Tx, Rx, +V, Gnd) system
•
RS232 (like) - open collector driver
•
High Speed 9600 Baud Rate
•
16 bit CRC error checking
•
Data Transfer Mode
Benefits:
•
Proven in the field
•
Simple and low cost interfacing of transaction peripherals.
•
High security control of payout peripherals.
•
Defence against surrogate validator fraud.
•
Straightforward integration into host machines.
•
Remote programming of transaction peripherals
•
Open standard for universal use.
