Glossary
Download
Data sent from the host computer to the Controller. A download may be required before the
Controller can process debit cards.
Factory Start Up Date
Date when the GSM’s internal battery is enabled and encryption keys injected. Factory start up
date is recorded on a label affixed to the GSM housing. Upon receipt, the GSM must be
maintained under power to retain programming. If the internal battery is allowed to discharge
completely, the GSM will no longer be usable.
Note: GSMs are no longer remanufactured.
Injected Key Serial Number
A serial number injected by Gilbarco that uniquely identifies the GSM to the network host. It
is permanently erased if the GSM housing is opened or if the internal battery is allowed to
discharge completely. The POS system can interrogate the GSM for the injected key serial
number and pass it to the network host.
Install Date
Date when the GSM was installed to work with the host network.
