Using Custom Device Filters

The DX8100 allows you to use a custom device filter to remove unwanted characters from the data input port. These characters may be printer commands or some other type of device control/overhead. Each entered line of text in the Custom Device Filter table defines a separate character filter. A filter can be a combination of exact characters to match, character ranges to match, and character counts. Incoming characters matching any of the character filters will be discarded.

Use the Control Code drop-down box, Special Character drop-down box, and Range text box to create the desired filter. Then transfer the created filter to the Custom Device Filter table by clicking the Add button.

Creating a New Data Format

Create the data format based on information contained in the ATM/POS transaction. For example, a sales receipt provides detailed transaction information. The data format values determine how data from ATM or POS terminals is interpreted. This information is used to separate the data stream into individual transactions and separate the various fields within the transaction. Every field format must match that of the ATM or POS device, especially the month format.

To create a data format:

1.In the Network page, click the Port/Device tab. The Port/Device page is displayed.

2.In the Communication Port drop-down box, select a port (Port 1 to Port 4). The device mode option is not available for COM1.

3.In the selected device drop-down box, select an ATM/POS device.

4.In the Communication Port Configuration section, click Configure. The Device Configuration page is displayed.

5.Click the Data Format tab.

6.In the Data Format page, click Add. The Data Format dialog box opens.

7.Using the information from the transaction record or other source, set the parameters for the following Data Format sections (as applicable):

•Transaction Format

•Monetary Format

•Time Format

•Character Format

8.Click OK.

9.Verify that the new data format is listed in the Data Format List, on the Data Format page.

Editing a Data Format

The DX8100 allows you to edit a data format. Once you click OK to accept the changes, you cannot undo the changes.

To edit an existing data format:

3.In the selected device drop-down box, select an ATM/POS device.

4.In the Communication Port Configuration section, click Configure. The Device Configuration page is displayed.

5.In the Data Format List, highlight the name of a data format.

6.Click Edit. The Data Format dialog box opens.

7.Verify that the name of the data format you want to edit is displayed in the Data Format Name text box.
