Installation
S232 Interface
Connect the DB9 connector into the Host equipment’s serial port. An A/C po er
adaptor is required to supply po er to the RS232 interface device. To apply po er to
the unit, first connect the output connector of the po er adaptor into the housing of the
DE9 (RS232) connector, notice that the end that has the po er jack should be
connected to the host. Then, plug the po er supply adaptor into a all po er outlet to
po er up the unit.
The default COM port settings are Baud rate 38400 Data bit 8, Stop bit 1, and Parity:
None
USB Interface
Plug the USB connector into a USB communication port on the Host. No A/C po er
adaptor is needed to po er the USB unit. The po er is supplied by the USB
connection.

Operation
The SmartPIN K100 is operated through a Point of Sale (POS) application. The
application runs on a terminal, a PC, or similar device. The application drives all
SmartPIN K100 operations. No operations infringe on the PIN security requirements
are allo ed; the PIN entry mode can only be initiated and ended by the POS
application.
Power-Up Sequence
Each time hen the po er is applied to the SmartPIN K100, the unit performs a
Po er-Up sequence that includes a self-test. After the po er up sequence, the
SmartPIN K100 enters the Idle State.
Operational States
There are three Operational States: Idle, PIN Entry, and Transaction.
o The SmartPIN K100 rests in an Idle State hen it’s not in use. In this state, the
PIN Pad is ready to receive commands from the host.
o When the POS application requires a PIN entry, SmartPIN K100 transitions into
a PIN Entry State. On the application or on a separate LCD display it ill
prompt the user to enter the PIN. The unit no operates independently from
the Application and all operations are bet een the SmartPIN K100 and
operator. The application can end the PIN entry process at any time.
o The Transaction State provides for operator information and interactions to
complete the transaction. When the transaction is completed, the SmartPIN
K100 returns to the Idle State.
Audio
The SmartPIN K100 has an audio output device that provides audio tone feedback for
key press recognition. Numeric keys operation and audio feedback is only available
during the PIN Entry process. The audio output can be disabled by the host.

PIN Entry Operation
During the PIN entry process, there are several options:
- To exit the PIN entry state hen no digits have been entered, press the Cancel
Key.
- To clear all entered digits and re-start from beginning, press the Cancel Key.
- To complete the PIN entry process, press the Enter Key.
- To clear the last entry, press the Backspace Key.
For security reasons, the SmartPIN K100 has the follo ing operating functions:
The application controls the PIN entry elapse time. The application may cancel the
PIN entry mode for any reason. Once the PIN entry mode is canceled, the PIN entry
process must be started from the beginning.
Each PIN digit must be entered ithin 20 seconds maximum of the last PIN digit. If
this time has expired, all the digits entered are cleared and the time restarted.
The PIN entry process must be completed ithin three minutes maximum. The three
minutes is timed, starting either from hen no PIN characters have been entered or
from hen the PIN characters have been cleared. When three minutes has expired,
the PIN entry process is aborted.
The SmartPIN K100 has a fixed limit to the number of PIN digits that can be entered.
When more than the limit of PIN digits is pressed or a function key is pressed during
the PIN entry state, three audio beeps are sounded to signal the input error. No audio
beeps ill emit if the audio function is disabled.
