2.1 Default operation on factory settings
Before anyone changes the configuration from its default, you can confirm that the unit is
working.
These steps demonstrate that the hardware can detect and interact with an OriginPass mobile
NFC pass, which is ready to work with the default configuration of your VTAP100.
1. Obtain an OriginPass from Dot Origin by visiting
to Google or Apple Wallet. (You will require a username and password - contact
to get these.)
2. Connect the VTAP100 to your PC, using a USB cable.
3. Open a text editor, such as Windows Notepad.
4. When you tap the OriginPass on the VTAP100:
l
Pass contents will be displayed in the open text editor.
l
The diagnostic LEDs on the VTAP100 PCB will flash together.
l
Your smartphone may signal with a buzz or beep.
Note:
Some Android phones will only interact if their screen is on, although it does not
need to be unlocked. You may need to enable NFC in the settings for the smartphone.
Note:
If the pass detected does not match the key and ID on the VTAP, or is moved away
too quickly to be read, the pass contents displayed will be an 8 digit random hex string,
such as '08E22AC1', different on each presentation. OriginPass contents will be a
consistent string of the type '3~ffymeK9f_mziYtA6~53999301628695~Valued'. The
separator '~' or '|' will depend on your keyboard language settings.
Note:
If local security settings prevent or limit the use of removable storage devices, or
the connection of additional keyboards, an administrator may need to alter those
permissions.
2.2 Start reading your own passes
If you navigate to the VTAP in the computer's file system. It will appear as an attached mass
storage device and list the files contained, including the main
config.txt
file.
To read any mobile NFC pass, you will need to provide your pass reading parameters in the
config.txt
file. This means a collector ID or merchant ID and any keys. These allow you to
read and decrypt pass data that is held by your users, on their smartphones.
