NOTE
Any instances where the TAS12 and IntraQ devices differ will be noted. Otherwise, you can
assume that conguration is the same for both devices. “TAS12” is the generic name for the
software application.

Changing Conguration from the Device
Navigate to the Device Conguration Screen
1. While on the idle screen, tap the screen three times within two seconds to go to the Login screen.
2. On the Login screen, enter a valid Login ID into the eld and press Enter to go to the Administrator Menu,
shown below. The default Login ID is 123. Your ticketing provider may also create different Login IDs for you
to use, so check with them if the default Login ID doesn’t work.
3. Press the Device Conguration button.
Most Direct Connect conguration options are in the conguration text les detailed in the following sections.
However, you can adjust some conguration options from the device itself.

Device Conguration Options
1. All the conguration options on this screen can also be congured int the tas.txt le. See the TAS.txt File
section below on page 6.
• Server Url: URL or URI of the validation server.
• Site Name: Identier that is sent to the validation server with each validation request that identies the
device’s location.
• Min Ticket Length: Minimum length a ticket’s barcode number must be for the device to attempt to
validate it. If a ticket’s barcode number is shorter than this value, the device will mark it invalid without
sending it.
• Max Ticket Length: Maximum length a ticket’s barcode number can be for the device to attempt to
validate it. If a ticket’s barcode number is longer than this value, the device will mark it invalid without
sending it.
• Online Mode: When this box is checked, the device attempts to communicate with the server when it
validates a ticket. If the box is unchecked, the device will not attempt to communicate with the server and
will follow ofine validation rules.
• Exit Mode: When this box is checked, the device scans tickets out of the facility. If using an Exit Mode
device with a turnstile, the turnstile GPIO settings must be set up for exit scanning as well. If the box is
unchecked, the device scans tickets into a facility.
• Ticket Validation: The Ticket Validation screen validates tickets when an operator scans or manually
enters a ticket number.
• Ticket Information in Manual Ticket Entry: Scanning tickets with the Ticket Validation screen displays
information about the tickets but does not validate them.

SCREEN TIMEOUT= 10 Time in seconds that the device will remain idle on
the Operator Menu or Operator Login screens before
it returns to the previous screen. The timeout applies
individually to each screen.
SCREEN REFRESH
DELAY=
5 Time in seconds that the device displays the result of the
most recent scan on the Ticket Validation or Delivery ID
Validation screens.
EXIT= False True: The device scans tickets out of the facility. If using
an Exit Mode device with a turnstile, the turnstile GPIO
settings must be set up for exit scanning as well.
False: The device scans tickets into the facility.
DEBUG MODE= False True: Adds a Close button to the Home screen which
closes the TAS12 application and returns to the desktop.
The device also records information about TCP service,
start, stop, and error states. This log le is located in the
Program Files\TAS\DeviceLog.txt le.
False: There is no Close button and the device does not
write to the DeviceLog.txt le.
SAME TICKET
DELAY=
2000 Time in milliseconds the device will wait before
processing a duplicate ticket. For example, a value of
2000 means that the device ignores a ticket’s barcode
for two seconds after it is scanned.
ACTIVATION TIME= 0 Sets the time in milliseconds that the activation signal
(output wires – ACC1) remain in a closed-contact
state. Set this value to 0 to use the value dened in the
GREEN= eld.
If there is a non-zero value in this eld, the contact
signal from the TAS12 unit will remain in the closed
state. If used with a turnstile, the turnstile does not re-
lock if a patron passes through the turnstile before the
conclusion of this time. This setting is meant for use with
non-Alvarado turnstiles and is typically set for 500 (0.5
seconds).
DISPLAY TYPE= 4 Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) display port.
Possible port values:
• 0 – Noritake Itron VFD – Model CU20026SCPB-
T28A
• 2 – ASCII
• 4 – MatrixOrbital
PRINT RECEIPT= True True: When ENHANCED MODE is also set to true,
the device prints receipts when it scans a barcode
with one of the symbologies dened in the RECEIPT
SYMBOLOGY eld.
False: Scanned tickets validate, but do not print.
TRACK= 2 The device reads from this track number when a
magnetic scan media is presented.

TICKET SCREEN
ACCESS BARCODE=
If the device scans a barcode with the number dened
in this eld, the device goes directly to the manual Ticket
Validation screen.
This is meant to allow device operators to manually
enter tickets (that have poorly printed barcodes, for
example) without being able to access other sensitive
conguration settings.
