Host Machine Interface

MDB

The Multi Drop Bus is an industry standard interface for vending machines. If your machine supports an MDB - Cashless Device, then this will require little effort to reach a working solution, provided that the MDB standard is correctly implemented in your machine.

An advantage of MDB is that the interface also supplies power to the terminal, requiring no additional power supply.

Executive

A P6X Terminal can be combined with the VendBox to enable "Executive Node" functionality. The VendBox is sold separately from the terminal and acts as a converter between Executive and MDB.

Potential Free Pulse Contact

A configurable potential free pulse contact is available to signal your application that a payment transaction was successfully processed.

In addition, an input port is available to enable/disable the terminal, if for example the machine is out of order.

Although a Potential free interface is widely used, there is no standardization, and requires attention to electrical details before it can be used.

RTP

Remote Terminal Protocol, is used to control the terminal functionality from anywhere on a LAN, or through USB, directly from your software application.

PVP

This message based protocol provides basic functionality for machine to payment terminal communication, over an RS232 connection.

CCI

This message based protocol is used in certain coffee machines, and communicates over RS232.

Internet Connection

Ethernet

A P6X Terminal can be connected to a LAN, through its onboard Ethernet port, and connect to the Internet through the LAN.

3G/HSPA modem

In case there is no access to a LAN network a 3G/HSPA MODEM is optionally available

Terminal Configuration

Secure Configuration Files

These files contain the settings that determine the certified terminal configuration and cannot be modified without consulting the manufacturer.

Terminal Settings

These settings need to be configured for each mode in which the terminal is operating, to allow communication with the Host Machine and payment service provider. Each chapter gives an overview of the related settings.

Optional SAM

The SAM module contains cryptographic key material that is needed to set up a secure connection, and authenticate the terminal, with the payment service provider.

Optional Data SIM

A 3G/HSPA MODEM option requires a data SIM with access to mobile internet services. A SIM card can be provided by either your local mobile internet provider or by Payter.

Payment Flow

A Host machine is always responsible for initiating a payment on the terminal, the only exception is Auto Scan mode. This chapter describes how a payment is performed by a user and how to interpret the feedback that is given by the terminal.

Modes of Operation
MDB Mode

The Multi Drop Bus is an industry standard interface for vending machines. If your machine supports an MDB - Cashless Device, then this will require little effort to reach a working solution, provided that the MDB standard is correctly implemented in your machine.
An advantage of MDB is that the interface also supplies power to the terminal, requiring no additional power supply.

Connecting the terminal
MDB Connection

Connect the P6X terminal to the VMC using the supplied MDB Cable. Power up the vending machine, the terminal should power up as well. After boot-up has completed the terminal should automatically register with the VMC.

Pay Flow
Method 1 - Always Idle Mode:

For machines supporting MDB feature level 3 "always idle mode," users can directly select a product to initiate a vend cycle.

Method 2 - Start Button:

If "always idle mode" is not supported, users must press the "Start Button" on the terminal before selecting a product.

Payment Process:

After product selection, users are prompted to pay.

Dispensing and Refunds:

Upon successful payment, the product is dispensed. If the vend is unsuccessful, most machines automatically cancel the payment, but this depends on the vending machine's features.

Applicable Settings
MDB Settings
SettingDescription
MDB Level [1,3] determines the capability level reported to the vending machine. Should be left at 3 unless the terminal and vending machine do not register correctly.
Session Timeout Indicates the time period, in ms, for selecting a product after the START button is pressed. Note this is only applicable when not in "always idle" mode.
Session Amount The amount, in cents, that the Terminal provides as Credit to the vending machine at the start of a session. Note this is only applicable when not in "always idle" mode.
Executive Mode

A P6X Terminal can be combined with the VendBox to enable "Executive Node" functionality. The VendBox is sold separately from the terminal and acts as a converter between Executive and MDB.

Protocol A (Executive)
Executive Protocol

Support for the MDB comes standard with the Payter terminal in case the Vending Machine only supports the Executive protocol an additional converter (Payter VendBox) is required which can be placed in between the terminal and the Vending Machine.

Vendbox
Protocol Bridge:

Connects the Executive vending protocol with the MDB protocol.

Compatibility:

Designed for use with Payter contactless terminals.

Executive Master Role:

Acts as the Executive Master when connected to an Executive vending machine, delegating commands to the Vending Machine Controller (VMC).
