CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION SMART CARD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2
15 Rev. B
1.2.1.2. Machine Card Readers
The Machine Card Reader validates monetary values placed on smart
cards by customers and deducts the appropriate vend price before
initiating a cycle. Machine Card Readers are equipped with displays,
which provide pricing, and operation instructions to the consumer as well
as to system administrators and service personnel. Machine readers also
store all machine activity, allowing this data to be retrieved and analyzed
with the SMS2 reporting function.
1.2.1.3. Card Transaction Stations
Card Transaction Stations allow for unattended smart card purchase and
recharge (adding value to an existing card). Customers insert cash into a
bill acceptor or swipe a credit/debit card, and the transaction station either
dispenses a smart card or adds value to a previously purchased card.
System Administrators and/or service personnel to account for currency
or credit/debit card transactions can periodically audit card Transaction
Stations.
1.2.1.4. Door Access Readers
Door Access Readers are sophisticated access control systems that are
installed with an electronic locking device such as an electric strike or
magnetic lock. These units can be programmed to allow access to
specified cardholders, and can also be used to deny entry into a building
or room at any time.
1.2.1.5. Smart Card Management System
The focus of this manual will be the operation of the Smart Card
Management System. Once properly installed and set up, functions of
SMS2 enable the operator to:
! Set up laundry Machine Card Readers and Card Transaction
Stations with pricing and functions defined according to your
needs.
! Set up and maintain an “electronic” key system with the Door
Access Manager.
! Retrieve and view audit reports from all equipment including
usage reports, money collected and access reports.
! Set up PC stations to issue and sell user cards.
! Maintain and update all pricing and setup information.
