Page 4: Reader Verification and Miscellany
35 Use remote verification (reader): This item specifies which types of cards are verified
remotely for transactions started from the island card reader. If local verification is also
specified for a type of card, local verification will be done if remote verification cannot be
completed.
Types of cards are: 1 = club, 2 = checking, 3 = savings, 4 = credit, 0 = none. Enter selected
types as a string with no spaces; for example: 24 specifies checking and credit.
36 Use local verification (reader): This item specifies which types of cards are verified locally
for transactions started from the island card reader. If remote verification is also specified for a
type of card, it will be tried first, and local verification will be done if remote cannot be
completed.
Types of cards are: 1 = club, 2 = checking, 3 = savings, 4 = credit, 0 = none. Enter selected
types as a string with no spaces; for example: 1 specifies private issue (club) cards.
37 Require PIN (reader): This item specifies which types of cards require the customer to enter
a PIN for transactions started at the island card reader. This specification is in addition to
restrictions encoded on the card. PINs should always be required for debit cards (savings and
checking) if these cards are accepted at the site.
Types of cards are: 1 = club, 2 = checking, 3 = savings, 4 = credit, 0 = none. Enter selected
types as a string with no spaces; for example: 123 specifies private- issue (club), checking, and
savings cards.
38 Check PIN (reader): This item specifies which types of cards require the Site Controller to
check the PIN for transactions started at the island card reader. The Site Controller can check
only privately issued card PINs, not PINs assigned by banks (which are checked remotely by
the bank network). There are special occasions where bank PINs can be used. These numbers
must be entered into a record that is checked by the Site Controller. However, you may assign
privately issued PINs to credit cards for your own customers if you wish to limit credit card
use to approved customers only. If using Record Lookup, the PIN is compared to the PIN
loaded in the record.
Types of cards are: 1 = club, 2 = checking, 3 = savings, 4 = credit, 0 = none. Enter selected
types as a string with no spaces; for example: 1 specifies privately issued (club) cards.
39 Check mod 10 (reader): This item specifies which types of cards require the Site Controller
to check the mod 10 check digit for transactions started at the island card reader.
The mod 10 check digit is a special digit that is encoded on some types of cards and that
contains partial information about certain other digits on the card, usually the account number.
Comparing the encoded check digit with the result of repeating the calculation at the site will
detect most alterations or errors on the card.
If the Site Controller checks mod 10 for a card that doesn't have a mod 10 check digit, the card
will be denied authorization. For cards that do have mod 10 check digits, you can decide not to
check mod 10 if, for example, you wish to accept cards that were encoded with incorrect check
digits.
