Physical Specifications:
Size: 1.5 inches high x 3.75 inches
wide x 4.5 inches long Weight: Less than 10 ounces with the
cord to attach to the PC Power: +5V supplied by the user's
personal computer via the keyboard interface or USB interface (model PC7000
only). NO Batteries need to be
replaced. Typical current consumption is 20 to 30 milliamps. Over-current
limit protection is provided. Operating Environment: The hardware
conforms to FCC Class B digital device, of Part 15, FCC Rules. The hardware
does not require any special cooling considerations, operating over the full
temperature range of 0 degrees C to +50 degrees C (+32 degrees F to +122
degrees F) and in relative air humidity between 10% and 90%, non-condensing,
with a maximum wet bulb temperature of +25 degrees C (77 degrees F).
Hardware Interface to PC:
Connectors - IBM Compatible (model
PC2000 and model PC2200): A PS/2 6-pin female connector on IBM compatible
PC Pay devices to connect the PC keyboard to the device. Since a laptop already
has a built-in keyboard it is not necessary to connect an external keyboard to
the PC Pay device for portable laptop use. A PS/2 6-pin male connector is at
the end of a one meter cable and is used to connect the device to the PC
keyboard input for a desktop computer or to the PS/2 port of a laptop
computer.
Connectors - IBM Compatible (model
PC4000): A PS/2 6-pin female connector on IBM compatible PC Pay devices to
connect the PC keyboard to the device. The cable from the device is 50 inches to
a 9-pin female D-sub (to connect to the RS-232 port) and part of the same D-sub
connector adapter is a 6-pin mini-DIN and 5-pin DIN (for connection to the
user's PC keyboard). Additionally, there is a 15 inch pigtail cable from the
9-pin D-Sub connector to a PS/2 6-pin male connector
Connectors - IBM Compatible (model
PC7000 **** available soon **** ): A standard USB connector.
PIN Pad:
PIN pad The PC Pay devices include a
12 digit PIN pad. The PIN pad accepts a 4 to 12 digit PIN to produce an
encrypted PIN block for ANSI standard format 01 and format 03 requirements. The
PIN can also be used to enter the Primary Account Number (PAN) of a credit or
debit card to be encrypted using Unique Key Per Terminal Key Managment. The PIN
pad can also be used to send a PIN directly to the smart card in the PC Pay
device avoiding a PIN (or secret code) from residing in the PC.
Magnetic Stripe Reader:
Magnetic Stripe Reader (Model PC1000,
Model PC2000, and
Model PC4000): The
magnetic stripe reader can read ISO standard credit and debit card Track I and
Track II magnetic stripe information. A special version of the PC
Pay devices can also encrypt the magnetic strip information with DES encryption.
Smart Card Reader/Writer:
Smart Card Reader (Model PC2000,
Model PC2200,
Model PC4000, and Model
PC7000): The
devices can read ISO 7816 standard smart cards and return an Answer to Reset
(ATR) to the interface software. The smart card port has short-circuit
protection and can detect if a smart card is inserted. The PC Pay device serves
as a pass-through communication port to ISO standard 7816 smart cards.
Other Features:
LED Indicator: A bi-color
(Red/Green) LED indicator is used to indicate mode of operation (e.g. smart
card mode, magnetic stripe mode, PIN entry mode)
Built-in-Test: The PC Pay device
includes extensive Built-in-Test (BIT) and fault logging capabilities to record
any anomalies as a result of the BIT. Status of the device and the fault log
can be read from the device for integrity checking and troubleshooting
purposes.
Key Security Features: Confidential
data never leaves the PC Pay device in clear text format; it is always
encrypted. After the encrypted data is transferred to the computer, the data is
erased from the module, with no residue of the key or user confidential data
remaining in the module. Security
Considerations are discussed here.

IBM Compatible personal computer using a
386 or higher microprocessor, minimum 128 Megabytes of RAM. You will probably
need at least a 486 microprocessor (133 Mhz) PC and 256 Megabytes of RAM for any
development work. Microsoft Windows 95 or higher The model PC1000, PC2000, and PC4000 have a 6-pin female standard mini-DIN connector for connecting to the user's personal computer keyboard, and a 6-pin male standard mini-DIN plug at the end of a 4-foot cable for connecting to the user's personal computer keyboard input. The model PC4000 also has a RS-232 (9 pin female) connector for connecting to the PC serial port.
The IBM-compatible
interface software is offered in a
variety of versions including the following: a). Windows 95 (DLL & OLE
Automation/ActiveX control, and PC/SC), b). Windows NT (DLL).
