 Personality Plugs
(The Xeptor
Electrical Interface)
Personality plugs are small connector
conversion modules about as big as the last segment of your little
finger. They are used to convert the 8pin header in the Xeptor to
any of many available connector styles and pin assignments common in
the industry. For example, there is one Personality Plug type for
each of the older Coin Mechanisms CC-series acceptors and the
NRI
multi-wire output acceptors. With the correct Personality Plug
installed in an Xeptor, retrofit installation requires no machine
connector re-wiring! The tables below can help you decide which
Personality Plug to use.
Coin Selectors
(The Xeptor
Coin Programming Module)
 Coin
Selectors
allow you to change the acceptance parameters in a coin acceptor
at the press of a button. They were designed to save time and
reduce errors in programming large numbers of Xeptors without
sacrificing either acceptance or security performance. In
addition to downloading preset coin types the Copy&Clone feature
allows you to press a button to copy coin signatures from a
manually programmed Xeptor into the Coin Selector, and then
clone other coin acceptors.
 X-Key
(The Xeptor Security
Module)
While optical codes and a highly discriminating coin acceptor may do
well at stopping the threat from outside, the threat from inside must
be addressed as well. The IDX X-Key
electronic security key and the X-Tracker
software utility allow you to control access to coin acceptor
programming and track when an who last accessed and modified the coin
programming of an Xeptor.
X-Tracker
(The X-Key
Management Software)
 X-Tracker is a Windows
based software utility for managing and tracking X-Key
(release-2) activity. An authorized personnel roster is set up
and enables these personnel to "log-on" to an X-Key, which
enables it to communicate with and enable an Xeptor. The
personal ID and a time and date stamp are stored in an encrypted
redundant file system on the PC and in the X-Key. When the X-Key
is used to enable changes to the "learned coins" of an Xeptor,
this same information is stored in the Xeptor and the serial
number of the Xeptor is stored in the X-Key. Responsibility for
the X-Key is terminated by X-Tracker "log off". This disables
the X-Key and stores the log-off information, including the
Xeptor serial numbers in the redundant encrypted PC log files.
Xaminer
(The Xeptor
Diagnostic Tool)
 The Xaminer was designed to be
your pocket tool for examining and changing the setup and
configuration of IDX Xeptors in the field where bulky laptop
computers are cumbersome.
The Xaminer software is designed to run on handheld computers
based on the PalmÒ
OS or MicrosoftÒ
WindowsÒ
Pocket PC OS platforms. A handheld running the Xaminer
connects via cable to the serial port of the Xeptor and
provides a graphical interface for diagnosis and configuration
of the Xeptor. Using Xaminer, one can examine or set all
of the operational parameters, see the coin parameter readings
to diagnose troublesome acceptance, and see all of the
self-diagnostic information in English to troubleshoot and
maintain proper operation of all of the Xeptor sensors.
XaminerPC
(The Xeptor
Diagnostic Software)
 XaminerPC is a PC based
troubleshooting software tool providing you with a window into
the configuration of your Xeptors. By knowing how your
Xeptors are configured and what they are reading from the coins
you will have the information you need to troubleshoot coin
acceptance problems. You may unexpectedly find that someone has
programmed the Xeptor for the wrong coin set, or that some of
your coins just aren't like the rest of your coins, or that the
Inhibit Logic or Credit Pulse Width are not set the same as for
the machines that are working. XaminerPC gives you all the
information you need to diagnose the real problem and quickly
get to the right solution. As this product evolves, simply click
the Internet Update button to upgrade to the latest version. If
you prefer the hand held Palm or Pocket PC computer
platforms for portability in the field, please see our
Xaminer version of this software. |
