L. Memory cardsThe automatic cash-point is equipped with a multi-purpose Chip Cards, which can beidentified by the privilege associated to them.The available privileges are the following:• Cash-point initialisation.• Provider.• Prepaid.The functions of each privilege are explained in detail below.L.1 Safety and recognition systemsBefore providing further details on the card functions, it is important to point out howthey are managed in order to guarantee a high level of safety to protect the interestsof the owners of the single cards.SafetyThe content of the card is encrypted to prevent any fraud attempts.RecognitionTo prevent a card from being used on a Laundry Point for which it was not intendedfor, a 128 bit recognition code is set on every Laundry Point and is compared with thecard code.A recognition code is univocally assigned by Comesterogroup to every cash-point.Should the cash-point and card codes not coincide, the card is signalled as incorrect.Recognition codes are valid for every type of card.There are no passe-partout mechanisms.If, for instance, a technician must carry out maintenance operations on10 cash-points, he must have 10 different cards to assess the cashpoints.L.2 PrivilegesInitialisation cardWhen they are manufactured, the cash-points do not have the card recognitioncodes.When a cash-point is not initialised, a message will appear on the screen and anyselection will fail.Every cash-point is equipped with an initialisation card with the codes to assign to thecash-point.39

Operating manual Laundry PointWhen the initialisation card is inserted in the (non-initialised) cash-point, the codescontained in the card are copied in the cash-point.The cash-point is automatically restarted and from that point onwards, it will operatewith the assigned codes.Once a cash-point is initialised, the codes can no longer be changed.Should you require two or more cash-points to operate with the samecard, they must be initialised with the same initialisation card.This procedure is always necessary after every machine update. (SeeSD Card paragraph).Provider cardOnce this card is inserted in the (previously initialised) cash-point, you can access theconfiguration and accounting programme.The purpose of this card is to allow access to economic information stored in thecash-point.
