3.3 InstallationofReader
RefertotheVP6300drawingshownfurtherabove(OverallLayout).Verifythatpowercordscan
physicallyreachtheunit.Thenproceedto:
 Locate,mark,anddrill0.20‐in.holesforthemainmountingpointsoftheunit,spaced67mm
apartlengthwise(oncenter),andspaced55mmapart(oncenter)alongtheshorteraxis.Use
a#12drill.

3.4 ConnectingtoPower
TheVP6300canbepoweredthroughtheRS‐232communicationscableortheUSBY‐connector.

Connectthe+7.5to45VDCpowersupply(P/N140‐2035‐00)tothebarrelreceptacleontheRS‐232
cable,orthebarrelpartoftheY‐cableforUSB,byslidingthepowersupplybarrelintothereceiving
recess.

PlugtheunitintoanACoutletandverifythattheVP6300lightsup.

3.5 UsingtheViVOpayVP6300toMakeaPurchase

PresentingCardsorNFCPhones
TheViVOpayVP6300allowsforcredit/debitcardpurchasesusingContactlesstechnology.
Presentthecard/phoneincloseproximitytothefrontportionofthemodule.Presentthe
card/phonesothatmaximumsurfaceareaisparalleltotheantennaarea.Theunitshouldbeep
andallfourgreenLEDsshouldilluminatebrieflytoindicateasuccessfultest.
Thisteststheantenna'sabilitytoreadtheContactlesstestcard.Ifunsuccessful,therewillbeno
reactionfromthereader.IfyoucanconnecttheVP6300toatabletorlaptopandrunthe
UniversalSDKDemoprogram("UDemo"),youcanissueaCTLS(contactless)StartTransaction

4. InstallationPoints
 TheVP6300isdesignedtobemountedonametalsurfaceandinreasonablycloseproximity
toanyinternalmotorsandelectricaldevicesthatmaybeoperatinginsidethehostmachine.
However,theunit(likeallNFC/RFIDdevices)issusceptibletoRFandelectromagnetic
interference.Itisimportantthattheunitnotbemountednear(within3or4feet)large
electricmotors,computerUPSsystems,microwavetransmitters,anti‐theftdevices,radio
transmitters,routers,andsoon.
 CloseproximityoflargemetalobjectstotheRF‐emittingendoftheNFCantennacangreatly
reducetherangeoftheantenna.
 Tieallcablesneatlywithnyloncable‐tiesandroutethemsothattheyareinaccessibleand
invisibletocustomers.Labelthecableendsas"host,""ViVOpay"and"power,"tosimplify
connectiontestingorcomponentreplacement,particularlywhenuntrainedindividualsmight
beinvolved.
 Testtheinstallationusingatestcardtoperformanend‐to‐endtransaction.Thefrontbezel's
lightsshouldilluminate.Evenifthetransactionisdeclined(asitshouldbewithatestcard),it
willproveconnectivityallthewaythroughthesystem.Ifpossible,thestoremanagerorsome
otherresponsiblepartyshouldtesteachVP6300onaregularbasis(perhapsatthestartof


eachdayoratleastonceperweek)withatestcard,toensureproperoperationandcorrect
functionality.Iftheunitisrebootedonaregularbasis(suchaseverynight)itisimportantto
testthecontactlessreaderportionassoonaspossiblethereafter,toensurecontinued
communication.
5. RFInterference
Q.WhydoIneedtoknowaboutRFinterference?
A.Contactlesspaymentdevicesuseradiofrequencytechnologytosendcarddatatoa
contactlessterminalreader.
Q.HowcanRFinterferenceaffectcontactlesspayment?
A.Radiofrequencyinterferencecancausedataerrors.IfRFinterferenceispresent,
contactlesspaymentdevicesmayoperateintermittentlyorinconsistently.
Q.WheredoesRFinterferencecomefrom?
A.Radiofrequencyinterference(RFI)canoriginatefromawidenumberofsourcesatthe
point‐of‐sale(POS).SomeexamplesofsourcesofRFenergyandRFinterferenceinclude:
AM/FMradioandTVtransmitters
2‐wayradios,pagers
Mobiletelephones
Powerlines,transformers
Largeelectricmotors
Medicalequipment
Microwaves
Electromechanicalswitches
WirelessRouters
Q.WhatshouldIdoifIsuspectRFinterferenceexistsinmyenvironment?
A.BeginbyinspectingyourenvironmentforpossiblesourcesofRFinterference.
Q.DoequipmentmanufacturerstesttheirdevicesforRFinterference?
A.Yes.ElectronicequipmentistestedforRFIsensitivitybythemanufacturers.Thesetests
areperformedinacontrolledlaboratoryenvironmentandwilloftennotreplicatethetypes
ofsituationsthatwouldbeencounteredinyourownpoint‐of‐sale(POS)environment.
Q.WhatRFlevelswillimpactRFoperations?
A.FactorsthatcancauseRFinterferencevarycase‐by‐case.Therearenosetrulesdefininga
singleRFlevelthatwillcauseRFI.RFIdependsonthesensitivityoftheequipmentunder
consideration,orhowlowaninterpretingsignalcanbeinthepresenceoftheequipmentand
causeproblems.
Equipmentcanbeparticularlysensitivetoverylowsignallevelsofonefrequencyandyetbe
quiteimmunetohighsignallevelsofanotherfrequency‐‐sofrequencyisanimportant
factor.Someelectronicsystemcomponentsareinternallyshieldedandhaveaveryhigh
immunitytointerference;butgenerally,mostequipmenthasnotbeensoengineered.

6. FirmwareUpgrade
TheVP6300canhaveitsfirmwareupgradedinthefieldusingeitherserialorUSBinterfaces.
Preparation
Toupdatethenewfirmwareyouwillneed:
• PCwithavailableserialorUSBport
• VP6300withaserialdatacableoraUSBcableattached
• Firmwarefiles(includingBootLoaderfiles)forthedesiredfirmware
• Software(forthePC)thatwilluploadthefirmwarefilestotheVP6300

6.2 UploadingFirmwareforRS232orUSB
1. Movefirmwarefiles(*.fm)andbootloader.exefilesintointothesamefolder.
2. Check and confirm device is correctly connected to the power source and RS‐232/USB
connection.
3. IfRS232istheinterfacechoice,thenpleasecloseallsoftwarethatisusingRS‐232
communication.
4. Run the bootloader utility, choosing communication type and parameters according to the
connectioninterface.
 Forserialinterface,choose“COM”andBaudRateof19200(default).
 ForUSBinterface,choose“HID”andverifyVIDdisplaying0ACD.
5. Click the “Load” button ‐ the firmware will be loaded into the device. When “Firmware
successfully downloaded” appears on the utility, then the firmware has been successfully
installed.TheUtilitymaybeclosedatthattime.
