4 INSTALLATION OF A NEW TERMINAL
4.1 Step 1 - Preparation
In order to install the terminal it is necessary that:
• A recent version of Chrome is available on your computer.
• A terminal emulation program is available on your computer (Putty)
4.2 Step 2 - Install the hardware
The next subsections describe how to connect the various hardware components as mentioned in section Connect the
hardware
First make sure that all components are connected properly.
4.3 Check the installation requirements
The Dutch Payments Association is an organization that focuses, among other things, on the security of electronic
payments. To increase this security, the Dutch Payments Association has established guidelines for the installation of
payment terminals.
Check if the following requirements have been met:
• Install the payment terminal in such a way that the cardholder can shield it with his or her hand or body when entering
the PIN code. To this end, comply with the following dimensions when installing the terminal horizontally: place the
terminal at a height that key 5 is between 80 cm and 120 cm. You may only deviate from this if a special arrangement
guarantees complete protection when entering the PIN code.
• Entering the PIN code must be invisible when watching from a rise, via mirrors, cameras, or in any other way.
• During the transaction, the keyboard of the terminal must be arranged such that the cardholder has enough privacy
when entering the PIN code. This would make it (reasonably) impossible for third parties to see the PIN code.
