PIN Protection

Measures

Figure 2 Aligning MX800 Series Terminal with the Typical Mounting

Plate

The following techniques can be employed to provide for effective screening of the PIN-entry keypad during the PIN entry process. These methods would typically be used in combination, though in some cases a method might be used singly.

• Positioning of terminal on the check-stand in such a way as to make visual observation of the PIN-entry process infeasible. Examples include:

• Visual shields designed into the check-stand. The shields may be solely for shielding purposes, or may be part of the general check-stand design.

• Position the PED so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is difficult.

• Installing PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the terminal sideways and/or tilt it forwards/backwards to a position that makes visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult.

• Positioning of in-store security cameras so that the PIN-entry keypad is not visible.

The following table describes the two preferred mounting methods and the recommended measure to protect from PIN capture in four observation corridors:

Transaction Fails to Process

Step 1: Check the magnetic card reader

Step 2: Check the smart card reader

Step 3: Check the cable connections

No Response

From the Stylus

The following are the corrective steps to be taken if the terminal does not process the transaction.

There are several possible reasons why the terminal may not be operating correctly or processing transactions. To check the most likely causes, follow the steps below.

1 Make sure that you are swiping cards correctly with the MX800 Series terminal. For the MX800 Series terminal reader, the black, magnetic stripe on the card should face down and towards the screen.

2 Perform a test transaction using several different magnetic stripe cards to ensure that the problem is not a defective card.

3 Process a transaction manually using the screen instead of the card reader. If the manual transaction works, the problem may be a defect in the card reader. Contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.

4 If the manual transaction does not work, proceed to

Step 3: Check the cable connections .

1 Make sure you are inserting the cards correctly with the MX800 Series terminal smart card reader. The chip on the card should face down and inward.

2 Perform a test transaction using several different smart cards to ensure that the problem is not with the card.

3 Ensure any MSAM cards are correctly inserted and that the cardholders are properly secured.

4 If the problem persists, contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.

1 Ensure that all cables are correctly connected.

2 If cables are connected properly, check that the cable is in working order by connecting a known good cable. If transactions process with this cable, replace the defective cable.

3 If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative for assistance.

The following are the corrective steps to be taken if the terminal does not respond to the stylus inputs. (This procedure does not apply to the MX830 terminal without touch screen.)

1 Check the documentation to ensure that the terminal supports this stylus.

2 Unplug the stylus that does not respond and connect a known working stylus.

3 If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative for assistance.

Screen

NOTE

The following are the corrective steps to be taken if there is a gap in captured signature. (This procedure does not apply to the MX830 terminal without touch screen.)

1 Ensure that the stylus is pressed hard during signature capture.

2 If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative for assistance.

The following are the corrective steps to be taken if the touch screen does not respond or displays the incorrect response. (This procedure does not apply to the

MX830 terminal without touch screen.)

The MX800 Series terminal requires a touch screen calibration at the time of installation. The terminal should be powered on and allowed to stabilize at normal operating temperature; usually this takes no longer than 30 minutes, even if the terminal was previously in a cooler or warmer location. The touch screen calibration procedure (below) should then be performed.

To perform a touch screen (panel) calibration, follow this procedure:

1 Press the recessed button near the top of the Magnetic Stripe Reader with a straightened paper clip and hold while three LEDs in the MSR track turn on.

Release the button when the middle LED turns off. Keep hands away from the display until the prompt appears for password entry.

2 Enter the password.

3 In System Mode, perform a manual touch screen compensation. Tap

CONFIGURE > right blue arrow > CALIBRATE > CALIBRATE . Follow the directions on the display.
