Menu Item 4: Save Master Key to Diskette

Menu item 4 is for saving the Master Key in an encrypted file on a diskette. The Master Key
cannot be saved on the same diskette as the Pass Key. Therefore, another diskette is required
for the save process. Ensure that the diskette is clearly labeled ‘Master Key’ as it cannot be
interchanged with the Pass Key diskette.

Saving the Master Key and Pass Key diskettes will allow the administrator a full recovery if
the system is corrupted. The administrator does not have to remember the two passwords.
However, if one or both of the diskettes are bad, the administrators must have the means to
recover by re-entering the passwords from another means.
Note: It is not possible to save the Master Key to diskette after updating the System Keys or

exiting the program.

Menu Item 5: Get Pass Key from Diskette

Menu item 5 is used to restore the Pass Key from diskette to allow full recovery, if the system
becomes corrupted or loses its Security key information.

Menu Item 6: Get Master Key from Diskette

Menu item 6 is used to restore the Master Key from diskette to allow full recovery, if the
system becomes corrupted or loses its Security key information.

Menu Item 7: Update System Keys

Menu item 7 is used to update the system with the new keys or the keys restored from diskette.
If the system is not updated, the new keys will not take effect. The menu will let you know
when the system is being updated and when the update is complete.

Security for your company and patrons using your equipment is the uppermost concern. The
key information and diskettes must be kept in a secure location such as a safe. A compromised
system must be reported immediately and can result in fines and other monetary losses if the
compromised cards are the result of poor key management and/or the lack of security.
