Coin
Selector Setup Utility
 General
Description
Coin Selector Setup is a MS Windows application for configuration
change of a Coin Selector and for coin signature update of the data it
downloads to Xeptors. For example, if you have an X-20 Coin Selector
with a button configured for downloading coin signature data for the
Canadian $.25 coin and the Canadian Government decides to change the
metal alloy content of that coin, then you will need to update the
Coin Selector with that additional coin signature for valid Canadian
$.25 coins. Or, you may decide that after using the Copy&Clone buttons
to copy data from an Xeptor to the Coin Selector, you wish to disable
the Copy function so that your employees cannot change the function of
the buttons. Or, you may decide to change the definition of a button
to make it more useful for your specific situation.
Who Is Authorized To Use Coin Selector Setup?
This utility and its database may be freely downloaded by anyone from
this Web page. However, the application will not run until you enter
an Authorization Code from IDX. When you first start the application
it give you specific instructions for contacting IDX with specific
information, and for negotiating payment of the $150 sales price. Upon
approval of the information and payment method, IDX will provide you
with an Authorization Code for enabling the application.
What Are The System Requirements For Operation?
If your computer runs any version of MS Windows, you should have no
trouble running this application... famous last words. It doesn't take
much memory, disk space, screen size or "Pentassium" to make it
work... just a simple MS Windows computer that doesn't crash much will
be fine.☺ Note: If you have
a newer budgetary computer without a real serial port, then you will
have to get a USB to serial port adapter from a local electronics
retailer... but they are not all made equally. For example, we know
the Radio Shack adapter has worked on Win98 and WinME, but will give
you the "blue screen of death" on WinXP. However, the Belkin F5U109
adaptor, available at Office Depot and other retailers, is rated to
work with Win98 through WinXP and does so quite well.
