(Minor Number)
EXAMPLE
MB20M01.653
This file is for an MB20 with version 6.53.01 firmware.

Terminal Communication Encryption4
Terminal Communication Encryption
The terminals by default use Blowfish Encryption on IP communications. This is necessary for the
security of Supervisor Net sites as they are often run on public networks, previously with pure serial
communications it was not as much of an issue. The 128 bit Blowfish Encryption is very secure.
The terminal will exchange an encryption key with the Supervisor Net Terminal Server when it first
makes a connection. The terminal will retry 3 times within a minute for the encryption key to be set,
whilst doing this a bar graph will appear on the display of the terminal indicating the progress.
Normally the swapping of encryption keys takes a couple of seconds at startup. A Terminal Menu
Option is provided to enable/disable encryption in situations where troubleshooting the
communications is required.

Hardware Specifications6
Hardware Specifications
The specifications of a Version 6 terminal are:
Ethernet: Two 100Mbit Full or Half Duplex(Auto Negotiated) ports with
internal hub
Serial Ports: Two ports - Main serial port and Auxiliary serial port. Both
ports support RS232 at speeds of 150, 300, 600, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 with a user definable parity.
Data bits and Stop bits are pre-set to 8 Data and 1 Stop bit
Inputs: Four optically isolated inputs, normally used for count plus
up to three 'steering' lines, e.g. page size, colour or b&w,
duplexinformation. The input voltage range is 5v-24v and is
automatically compensated for, not requiring jumpers.
Current may be internally sourced or sourced from an
external device. The interface method is via a D15
connector.
Outputs: Two relays. One relay is configurable for normally open or
normally closed when a session begins. The second relay
is pre-configured as normally open. Other options available
on the output connector are: 0v, 5v reference, Vin (Directly
from the terminal's power connector)
Display: 2 lines by 20 character LCD backlit display
Keys: 20 plastic keys on a rubber keyboard mat
Card Reader: Magnetic Card, Track 2 ABA, HICo or LOCo cards.
External Card Reader Support: Serial Card reader via Auxor Main port, Internal card
reader header supporting both ABA clock and data or
Weigand input
Processor: Mitsubishi M16c/80 running at 18.432MHz
RAM: 1MB
ROM: 512Kb
Power Requirements: 12-24v, 800mA
Power Connector: 2.1mm Center Negative DC Jack
Certifications: FCC, C tick, CE and Canadian Certification

7Hardware Specifications
Rear Panel Layout
Ethernet Port
There are two 100Mbit ethernet ports available. They are both connected to an internal hub which
auto-negotiates the speed and duplex. The bottomconnector should be connected to the network
point, the top connector may be connected to another device such as a printer. This gives you the
ability to place the terminal in situations where there is only one network point available and its
already being used by another device.
The network connector has two indicator lights for each connector - The right hand light is the
network connection indicator, the left hand light is the network traffic indicator.

Hardware Specifications8
Main Serial Port
The Main Serial port is a standard RS232 port. Valid speeds are 150 – 19200 BPS.
Aux Serial Port
The Auxport is a standard RS232 port. Valid speeds are 150 – 19200 BPS.
As mentioned in the ‘Internal Jumpers’ section, depending on the setting of CN11 either 5vor Vin
will be present on pin 4 of the RJ11.
Power Connector
The power connector is a standard 2.1mm DC Jack with center negative polarisation.
External Interface
The external DB15 connector gives complete access to the Opto-Inputs, relays and power rails. This
means that an external device can usually be connected to an MB20 V6 without the need to open
the unit and set jumpers. There will however still be rare occasions when input jumpers will have to
be set.
The opto-inputs are rated from5 to 24v and are non-polarised unless jumpers have been
purposefully set to earth one side.

Internal jumpers and connectors
The circuit designation of a jumper is usually ‘JP’ and a connector is ‘CN’, however due to an
historical screen printing error, some jumpers are labelled ‘CN’ and some connectors ‘JP’. They
have been left like this to minimise confusion between models.
Here is a list of useable jumpers and connectors:
Label Function
CN4 External card reader connector
CN11 Aux port voltage selector jumper
JB1 Input Jumper Block with 6 individual jumpers (A – F)
JP6 Vin Jumper
JP12 Relay earthing jumper
JP15 Relay 1 Normally open / Normally closed select jumper
JP22 Buzzer Enable jumper
JP64 12C BUS connector

11Hardware Specifications
CN4
External card reader connector with the following pin-outs:
Pin Function (Clock and Data) Function (Weigand)
1 GND GND
2 +5v +5v
3 Card Detect Data0
4 Clock Data1
5 Data N/C
CN11
The jumper on CN11 connects pin 4 of the AUX port to either 5vor Vin. By default there is no
jumper on this selector, therefore no voltage appears on pin 4 of the AUX port.
JB1
Jumper Block 1 has sixindividual jumpers labelled A through F. These jumpers determine various
states for the inputs from the DB15 connector.
By default none of the jumpers are set.
WARNING: Never set jumpers Aand Bon at the same time. Doing so will short un-regulated
voltage (Vin) on to the 5vpower rail for the board. This will almost immediately destroy the main
board’s chipset.

Hardware Specifications12
Jumper Function
A Applies +5vto one side of the main ‘Count’ opto-coupler
B Applies un-regulated input (Vin) to one side of the main ‘Count’ opto-coupler (Input 1)
C Earths one side of the main ‘Count’ opto-coupler (Input 1)
D Earths ones side of Steering Line 1. (Input 2)
E Earths ones side of Steering Line 2. (Input 3)
F Earths ones side of Steering Line 3. (Input 4)

13Hardware Specifications
JP6
Fitting JP6 will connect the Power Jack input to pin 13 of the D15 connector. This can be used to
either supply the terminal's power supply input to a device connected to the D15, or alternatively
power the terminal from the D15 connector instead of via the DC Jack.
Warning: Never short Pin 9 (+5v) to Pin 11 (Vin) once JP6 is connected. Doing so will damage the
terminal.
JP12 and JP15
JP12 is used to permanently earth one side of the relay’s contacts. By default there is no jumper
set.
JP15 is the Normally open / Normally Closed selector for the main relay. By default it is in the
Normally Open position, meaning that the relay will close when enabled.

Hardware Specifications14
JP22
JP22 is a hardware enable / disable for the beeper. By default the jumper is hard-wired to enable
the beeper. The beeper can also be enabled and disabled via software in the terminal setup menu.
JP64
JP64 is an I2C Bus connector reserved for future use by MBM.
