MacKay Guardian™ Solo
Operation and Maintenance Guide, v. 1.5
6)
A metal card reader support bracket is installed prior to assembly of the card reader
assembly to the Solo by sliding the bracket over the outer edges of the card reader
guides. The purpose of the card reader support bracket is to provide additional
mechanical strength and support to the upper and lower plastic card guides on the card
reader connector. There is a cutout in the support bracket so that the cleanouts of the
card reader can still be cleared. Card readers that are replaced under warranty may also
be supplied with integrated metal support brackets that serve this same purpose.
3.9.1 Card Acceptance
1)
The Solo software controls the card acceptance. The inserted card is powered up,
interrogated and validated using the appropriate command sequences and protocols
associated with the card application in place to check the validity of the card. Once the
validity of the card has been determined, the card purchasing cycle begins.
2)
The card reader assembly does not lock the card in place, allowing the user to retrieve it
at any time or after the purchase cycle ends.
3)
The card reader assembly has a connector with internal card contacts. It is mated to a
small circuit board to provide a rigid transition to the main board connector.
4)
The card reader assembly has no electronic intelligence of its own. All of the driver and
decision-making circuitry that establish communication with inserted cards is located on
the main board.
5)
The card reader assembly’s card connector provides physical contacts to the inserted
card as described by ISO 7816 specifications, Parts One to Four.
3.9.2 SAM Holders
1)
The Solo meter has the ability to optionally support up to three SAMs and can be
programmed to accept up to three (3) SAM-based smart card schemes.
2)
The optional SAM holders in the Solo can be installed / accessed by opening the meter
front cover. The optional SAM board is mounted as a piggy back board on the top of the
existing chip card reader.
3)
The Solo has non-volatile flash memory which can be re-programmed at a future time, to
meet the operational need to support cards and SAMs of customer selected card
schemes.
4)
The SAM is used to actively challenge and authenticate each card. Each card
transaction is recorded in the Solo meter's memory. After card transactions are collected,
they are stored as secondary records, which remain until the next data collection.
5)
Any further discussion on SAM holders and SAM based card schemes is beyond the
intended purpose of this manual.
