POS DEVELOPMENT 900 MHz WIRELESS ICE TERMINAL OPERATION INSTUCTIONS REV: A JANUARY, 1997 3 1. GENERAL PRODUCT DISCRIPTION Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless ICE terminal in its current manifestation will take the standard POS transaction to the customer without the customer losing sight of his/her credit/debit/smart card. It will reduce the transaction time required by the vendor to run a card back and forth between the customer and the central POS terminal. The results of which are increased customer convenience, security and satisfaction, as well as reduced processing cost to the merchant. Features present on the ICE unit are as follows: 1. Signature Capture/Graphics Display. A touch screen display is used to allow a soft key menu and signature capture to be utilized. The Display contains 160 by 80 pixels which allows graphical use. 2. Keypad. A twelve key keypad is present on the unit containing the standard numeric numbers zero through nine. The last two keys are “CLEAR” and “ENTER”. 3. Battery Powered. Ice is capable of running on an internal battery or a 8-12Volt source providing power through the RJ11 port if tethered to a T7 terminal, LP3 loader or other device. The wireless unit is NOT designed to be used in a tethered mode. The unit will power up automatically when power is provided through the RJ11. There is a push button power switch located on the ICE for running on internal battery power. 4. Credit Card Reader. There is a standard track one and track two card reader located on ICE. 5. Smart Card Reader. There is a standard Smart/Memory Card reader located on the side of the unit. 6. SIMMs. Three SIMLocks are located on the bottom of the ICE unit for Vendor Mondex use. The ICE wireless uses an FXI01 900MHz radio transceiver board. This allows the ICE to be portable and the POS transaction can then take place wherever the card users may be. The ICE terminal communicates the transaction data via a 900MHz signal to a host terminal, which in turn communicates to a network. Once the transaction has been approved, the host terminal will inform the customer of the approval via the ICE unit display. Data encryption is provided by the host POS terminal and ICE device. Hypercom’s ICE 900MHz wireless system will consist of the following items: 1. HOST TERMINAL. This may be any of Hypercom’s POS terminal product with a PIN PAD port, and an external communication port (LAN or telephone), using the appropriate software such as T7, T7P, T77, T5000. 2. TERMINAL TRANSCRIVER INTERFACE. Hypercom model FTI 01 or for use with a single terminal transceiver, an adapter cable, Hypercom P/N: 810170-001. 3. TERMINAL TRANSCEIVER(S). Hypercom model FXV 01. 4. CUSTOMER PREMISIS WIREING. (If required.) 5. ICE TERMINAL. This must be an ICE wireless terminal with an FXI01 board and wireless software installed. HYPERCOM, INC. POS DEVELOPMENT 900 MHz WIRELESS ICE TERMINAL OPERATION INSTUCTIONS REV: A JANUARY, 1997 4 2. OPERATION Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface system is designed to be transparent to the user. The peripheral POS terminal device operation using the wireless POS terminal interface system is identical to its operation when the connection is through a cable between a peripheral POS terminal device and a host POS terminal. Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface system utilize radio transmitters and receivers certified in accordance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, (CFR 47 Part 2 and Part 15) for use within the industrial, scientific, and medical band of frequencies between 902 MHz and 928 MHz. THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION. HYPERCOM, INC. POS DEVELOPMENT 900 MHz WIRELESS ICE TERMINAL OPERATION INSTUCTIONS REV: A JANUARY, 1997 5 Operational distance between a terminal transceiver and a peripheral POS terminal is greatly affected by their environment. Obstructions such as walls and furniture as well as outside interfering signals may reduce the operational range. Software communication protocols have been implemented with in Hypercom’s 900 MHz wireless POS terminal interface system that should reduce these effects. 2.1 BASIC CONFIGURATION The example in figure 1 shows the basic configuration. The system was designed for a communication distance of from the terminal transceiver to the peripheral terminal device of less than 100 feet. Minimizing the coverage area reduces the possibility of creating interference to other communications systems sharing the same radio spectrum, a violation of FCC regulations. The short range design also reduces the chance of interference from outside sources. PN: 810170-001 SINGLE UNIT CABLE TERMINAL HOST TERMINAL TRANSCEIVER FXV01 PN: 020123-002 I.C.E.

The duty cycle is calculated as below. There are 1000 bit intervals in a .1 second period. A 50% duty cycle (500 high bits) was assumed to insure worst case scenario as the testing was done before the actual duty cycle was calculated. Sounds to me that the part recommended by RFM to help the receiver sensitivity may be a viable solution. I look forward to seeing if there is any improvement. Here are some snap shots from my data scope (real world). Looking at the short message lengths being used...73 bytes. Almost 30% of the .1 second interval we are quiet (nice for an emission average).

HYPERCOM, INC. POS DEVELOPMENT 900 MHz WIRELESS ICE TERMINAL THEORY OF OPERATION 1. ICE GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ICE unit will be used in Point of Sale “POS” type transactions as the direct interface to the card user. ICE as a product has been broken into many phases of which we are currently closing out the first phase. That is, the current ICE must communicate to a host terminal, whether by a tethered cord or by a wireless transmission, to complete a transaction. In future phases, peripheral devices will be added to increase the ICE functionality such that it can be utilized as a stand-alone unit, capable of doing full transactions. Standard features on the ICE unit will include a touch screen graphical display, a 12button keypad, track one and track two magnetic stripe card reader, and battery operation. Optional features include a SMART/Memory card reader, three SIMLocks, security processor, and a radio transceiver. These options will make the ICE unit very applicable to the specific needs of the customer. Future modules will be created that will increase the functionality of the ICE unit. They will attach to the ICE unit through a 60 pin connector on the back of the unit. 2. FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS The ICE unit can be broken down into various functions. Those functions and their associated descriptions are as follows: TouchPad Graphical Display Touch Screen Graphical Display. The ICE unit contains a 160 by 80 pixel display with multiple font capability. Both text and graphics modes are present on the display. The display itself contains a command register and a data register, which the Z80 processor communicates to via the processor data bus. A back light is used on the display to increase visibility of the display in less than perfect lighting. A resistive touch pad is attached (glued) to the top of the display for signature capture and soft key functionality. When a person touches the display a resistance is created, which also creates a voltage on the x and y axes. From this voltage the software is able to determine the touch location. Track 1 and Track 2 Card Reader. Functionality of this block is to read the data stored in the magnetic stripe of a credit or debit card. Currently our ICE unit will read track 1 and 2 data. There will possibly be track 3 capability in the future, if needed. 123 456 789 0C LEARENTER KEYPAD KEYPAD. The keypad on the ICE unit consists of ten numeric keys ( 0 through 9) and two special function keys. The special function keys are “CLEAR” and “ENTER”. Additional soft keys can be created using the touch screen display and software code. The OS code for the ICE unit continually scans the keypad for a key press during normal operation. Smart Card (OPTIONAL) SMART/Memory Card Reader. Ice will be capable of reading both memory cards and SMART Cards. Memory cards and SMART cards look like a credit card in size, but instead of containing a magnetic stripe they containing a PROM element that must be powered up then read. The name Memory card speaks for itself. The SMART card on the other hand is used as a cash card. Its ultimate goal would be to replace cash. To make it more secure, it can be used in conjunction with the three SIMLocks. SIM LOCK SIM LOCK SIM LOCK (OPTIONAL) SIMLocks. These devices are used in conjunction with SMART cards. A merchant card can be placed in each SIMLock. It then functions as a verification tool and cash register for the merchant when SMART cards are utilized. When a transaction takes place, the dollar amount is subtracted from the SMART card and added on to the Merchant card. At the end of the day the merchant can then call up the bank and transfer that amount into an account. FXI01 PCB (OPTIONAL) FXI01 Transceiver Board. In specific uses, it will be beneficial for the merchant to have a portable ICE unit. The FXI01 transceiver allows just that. Using a 900Mhz signal the radio ICE unit with the FXI01 and the proper software can communicate to a host terminal located at a central site. This allows the transaction to take place at any remote site within range of the host transceiver. NOTE: If the FXI01 used, the RJ11 has no use except for programming and the 60pin connector is blocked off with a plastic cover that is welded in place. RJ11 RS485/Power connector. Externally on the ICE is a RJ11 connector used to provide power (12 Volts) and RS485 communication only when tethered to a T7 terminal or other source. This port is also used for initial configuration load by the LP3 loader. During configuration the ICE terminal disables the RS485 port and allows the load to take place. Once completed the RS485 port can then be enabled. 60 PIN EXT. CONN. 60 Pin Connector. The ICE contains a 60pin connector that will be utilized as a peripheral expansion interface. Currently the data bus, as well as some key control signals, are present at this port to enable communication to some expansion modules currently being developed. BATTERY External Battery. Power for the ICE unit can be provided either through the RJ11 when tethered or through an external 4.0V battery. This external battery is keyed and fits into a slot on the side of the ICE unit. The lifetime of the battery is yet to be fully measured, but should fall in the range of two hours with normal operation when all power save modes are established by software. The battery also has a quick release for easy replacement. Z84C15 Microp rocessor Z8 Microp rocessor RA M FPG A ICE Control and Operation. The brains of the ICE unit are a Zilog Z84C15 microprocessor. Located on a secure module with a 4Mbit memory chip, the microprocessor is used to control all functionality and operation of the ICE unit. A Xilinx FPGA chip is used to reduce glue logic and for control registers needed to control internal and external peripherals. A Zilog Z8 microprocessor can be utilized if additional security is needed. Z84C15 Microprocessor TouchPad Graphical Display Track 1 and Track 2 Card Reader Z8 Microprocessor RAM …
