MAC Data Encryption Support
Terminal Software Release 4.1 implements support for the Message Authentication Code (MAC)
data encryption protocol. This capability is typically referred to as “MAC-ing”. NOTE: This
feature is currently only available in the Triton Standard version of Terminal Software Re-
lease 4.1. Also, the SPED option (described below) is required to support MACing.
MACing Provides increased protection for message traffic to and from the Terminal.
•
SPED PIN Entry Device Support
The newest Terminal EPROM upgrade, along with Software Release 4.1, support an optional
feature of Triton Systems Terminals known as the Secure PIN Entry Device, or SPED. Note that
the SPED option is required in order to support MACing. SPED is an encryption system that of-
fers additional protection for the customer PIN during entry at the Terminal keypad.

DATAPAK 3000 Communications Protocol Support
Terminal Software Release 4.1 is DATAPAK 3000 protocol-compliant. This new capability en-
ables the Terminal to interface with designated DATAPAK intermediaries (in the Canadian
market region), who in turn provide connectivity to the appropriate transaction processor.
NOTE: This feature is only available for use in the Canadian market.
DATAPAK 3000 connectivity is typically faster and more cost-effective than a direct dial-up
connection between the Terminal and the transaction processor.

desired, this feature can be turned off.
