To pay at a cash register

equipped with the FacilityPro POS 3000, the products to be purchased
must be entered and payment initialized on the cash register by the cashier (or by the
customer in the case of an unattended POS) and the customer must insert a smartcard in the
card reader. The amount due is deducted from the card when the customer confirms with the
<OK>-button. The customer can also view the balance on a card on the LCD-screen by pressing
the <?>-button.
At a FacilityPro POS 3000 you pay using a FacilityPro card or Chipknip. Chipknip is the
electronic cash system or open Dutch e-purse used in the Netherlands. You can pay using a
Chipknip if the terminal has been equipped with a Chipknip SAM and has been registered with
and assigned a TerminalID by the acquirer Equens. A FacilityPro card is a smartcard for your
own organisation or company which can be used for electronic payment at cash registers, POS
stations, vending machines, photocopiers, etc. Magna Carta developed the ‘closed’ electronic
transaction system FacilityPro, which offers various functions for card configuration,
registration of data on the cards and a loyalty system for card users. A useful feature of the
system is the ability to charge different prices to different card holders. FacilityPro is available
for contact cards as well as contactless cards. Presently supported contact cards are JavaCard,
IBM MFC and legacy Bull Scot5, Gemclub Micro, FacilityCard, Multi-Card Smart. Presently
supported contactless cards are Mifare Classic, Mifare DESFire and contactless JavaCards.
Terminals are prepared for Mifare Plus. LEGIC cards are also supported, and require a special
LEGIC card reader.
The FacilityPro POS 3000 consists of two main modules: the control-unit and the card reader.
The control-unit, or Magnabox (MBX2), is connected to the cash register and to the card reader
(Atlas 4), where the card is inserted. The card reader is placed on a smooth surface (e.g. the
counter).
The FacilityPro POS 3000 will function as a terminal within a complete FacilityPro electronic
transaction system. In addition to cash registers, other Magna Carta payment terminals can be
incorporated (e.g. at photocopiers, printers or multifunctionals and vending machines), as well
as access control terminals and card reload stations.
The terminals can be managed with the
software FacilityPro Manager developed by Magna Carta. With the PayPro module of FacilityPro
Manager, the system administrator manages the payment terminals. He can edit products and
prices, put stolen cards on the hotlist, and configure and audit the terminals.
The optional PowerPro module of FacilityPro Manager allows for more complex terminal
configuration, including different prices per user group or at different times of the day,

Terminals that can accept Chipknip are only available for the Dutch market. Chipknip is the
electronic cash system or open Dutch e-purse used in the Netherlands.
