1 A out these instructions
These instructions describe how to connect the G- 3.mft cctalk to a PC and
how to test the functions of the device connected using a demo software.
These instructions do not replace the detailed operating
instructions of the validator G-13.mft with serial cctalk
interface, ut rather complete the operating instructions
concerning the G-13.mft cctalk functions in a PC environment.
In order to use the validator’s entire functional range safely
the operating instructions must e read carefully (PDF
download under www.nri.de). They contain all information on:
• Design and function
• Starting-up
• Operation
• G-13.mft-specific cctalk commands, status and error
messages
• Cleaning
• Accessories

2 The PC solutions for G-13.mft cctalk
Variant : Connection by means of the RS-232 adapter G-55.0480 (ordering
code 25588) (see Fig. a)
Variant 2: Connection by means of the USB adapter G-55.048
(ordering code 25589) (see Fig. b)

Power supply
Use a standard wall power supply with the following technical data to supply
the G- 3.mft cctalk with power for a PC application (e.g. NRI wall power
supply, ordering code 26482):
• 2 V, stabilized
• min. 400 mA
• output connector; 5.0 x 2. ,

Connection to PC
There is a difference in the connection to the PC depending on the variant:
Variant 1: Connection using RS-232 adapter
1Connect the NRI RS-232 adapter G-55.0480 (ordering code 25588)
to the validator using the 4-pole cctalk interface 1 on the rear of the
G- 3.mft.
2Connect the adapter to the PC using the RS-232 interface 2.
3Supply the RS-232 adapter with power using socket 3 and the 2-V
power pack.
Now the PC can communicate with the validator.

Variant 2: Connection using USB adapter
1Connect the NRI USB adapter
G-55.048 (ordering code 25589)
to the validator using the 4-pole
cctalk interface 1
on the rear of the
G- 3.mft.
2Connect the
adapter to the PC
using its USB
interface 2.
3Supply the USB
adapter with power
using socket 3 and the 2-V power pack.
Windows identifies new hardware and searches a driver.
4Install driver (see section "Installation of the USB driver“ in this
chapter).
Variant 3: Connection using integrated USB port
1Connect the G- 3.mft cctalk to the PC using
its USB port and a standard USB cable.
2Supply the G- 3.mft cctalk with voltage using
its power socket and the 2-V power pack.
Windows identifies new hardware and
searches a driver.
3Install driver (see section "Installation of
the USB driver“ in this chapter).

Installation of the USB driver
If the G- 3.mft cctalk is operated using a USB port, you have to install a so-
called VCP driver (Virtual COM Port).
The drivers for the Windows versions 95/98/2000/Me/XP are made available
to you in a zip-file on our download pages (www.nri.de).
To install:
1Unpack the driver software CP2 0x.zip into any directory.
2Connect the G- 3.mft cctalk to the PC (see section "Connection to
PC“ in this chapter).
Windows identifies new hardware and searches a driver.
3Select directory, in which you have unpacked the files beforehand.
The driver is installed and the PC can now communicate with the
validator.
The driver provides a virtual COM port. When setting up the
relevant PC application you are asked to specify this
communication port. If there are no further communication devices
connected (modem, I DN, bluetooth, etc.), the G-13.mft cctalk is
on the COM3 port.
Otherwise you can determine the port number by means of the
control panel (device manager) (entry, e.g.: "CP2101 U B to UART
Bridge Controller (COM6)").

DEMO SOFTWARE
National Rejectors, Inc. GmbH, Buxtehude
3 Demo software
By using the software "cctalk-Demo" the functions of the G- 3.mft with
cctalk interface connected to a PC can be visualized and tested. Control
commands, which are transferred from the PC to the validator during
operation, can be simulated.
System requirements
The "cctalk-Demo" software specifies the following minimum hardware and
software requirements:
Operating system Windows 95b/95c/98/NT/2000/XP (not CE)
Working memory of at least 32 MB
Graphic resolution 800 x 600 dpi min./High Color
The use of the „cctalk-demo“ software requires basic knowledge of
the Windows operating system on the part of the user.
Install demo software
The demo software is made available to you on our download pages
(www.nri.de) as freeware.
To install:
1Download the demo software cctalkDemo.zip on the hard disk of the
PC that is to operate the G- 3.mft cctalk.
2Unpack zip-file.
Installation is completed.

G- 3.mft cctalk for PC applications DEMO SOFTWARE
National Rejectors, Inc. GmbH, Buxtehude
Starting demo software
1If necessary, connect the G- 3.mft cctalk to the PC (see section
"Connection to PC" in Chap. 2 "The PC solutions for G- 3.mft cctalk").
2Open Windows Explorer and double-click the cctalkDemo.exe file.
If the PC is not able to communicate with the validator, another COM
port has to be selected in the demo software:
1 elect OPTIONS.
2 Either
enter the number of the COM port to
which the validator is connected
behind COM-PORT,
or
Click SEARCH, if you do not know
the relevant port.
The software searches for the port to
which the validator is connected, and
writes it in the input field.
3 Confirm entry with OK.

Testing G-13.mft cctalk functions
Please first of all make sure, whether the basic settings of the G- 3.mft are
useful for your test purposes.
Click OPTIONS and behind POLLING is shown, in
which frequency the PC polls the validator for
information.
Behind ADDRESS you see the cctalk address of
the G- 3.mft, by which it communicates with the
PC. As standard the cctalk protocol provides the
addess "2" for the validator.
For further information regarding the cctalk protocol please refer to
the specification "cctalk erial Communication Protocol, Generic
pecification 4.2" under www.cctalk.org.
All further coin settings are shown clearly within the start window:
