2.5.2.3. Diagnostics
The diagnostic is used for:
• Local diagnostics
saving consists of two groups of items:
− Incident counters: used for repetitive-type incidents, when only the number of
occurrences is of use, e.g. the number of incorrect swipe readings.
− Exceptional events. The information content depends on the type of incident.
Generally this is the date and time, and then information on the incident itself. These
events are saved in a revolving file where the most recent are kept.
• Remote diagnostics
This allows the operator to make a call to the server to transfer information saved in the
terminal. The server can thus enrich a database for ensuring efficient monitoring of
equipment, propose preventive maintenance services, operating statistics, etc.
