CCTALK Device Definition
The cctalk protocol handler supports a potentially large number of note / bill acceptor, coin acceptor
and payout devices. Following the introductory PROTOCOL entry, all the ccctalk devices in use on
this installation have to be defined, as follows:
COIN [ACCEPTOR] [AT] <Address> [BNV <Key>] [CRC]
This specifies that a coin acceptor is to be found at the specified cctalk <Address>, and may
specify that BNV encryption with the given key and / or that CRC message validation is used.
Normally coin acceptors are at address 2, and do not use BNV or CRC messages.
BULK [ACCEPTOR] [AT] <Address> [BNV <Key>] [CRC]
This specifies that a bulk coin acceptor is to be found at the specified cctalk <Address>, and
may specify that BNV encryption with the given key and / or that CRC message validation is
used. This device will receive special processing as described earlier in the document.
Normally bulk coin acceptors are at address 2, and do not use BNV or CRC messages.
SMARTHOPPER [WITH] [ACCEPTOR] [AT] <Address> [BNV <Key>] [CRC]
This specifies that an Innovative smart hopper is to be found at the specified cctalk
<Address>, and may specify that BNV encryption with the given key and / or that CRC
message validation is used. Smart hoppers are often at address 7, and probably do not use
BNV or CRC messages.
[WITH] [ACCEPTOR]
If the keyword ACCEPTOR is present then this indicated that Paylink should check and use
an acceptor connected locally to the SmartHopper device.
NOTE [ACCEPTOR] [AT] <Address> [No Reset] [BNV <Key>] [CRC]
BILL [ACCEPTOR] [AT] <Address> [No Reset] [BNV <Key>] [CRC]
This specifies that a note / bill acceptor is to be found at the specified cctalk <Address>, and
may specify that BNV encryption with the given key and / or that CRC message validation is
used.
Normally note / bill acceptors are at address 40 (28H), and often use a BNV key of 123456
and CRC message validation.
The optional “No Reset” keyword supresses multiple resets performed as a part of cctalk
automatic note recovery.
