INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Installing the

Virtual Cash

controller

The terminal can be easily installed using our dedicated

floor stand or it may be placed on a counter

or table. The

unit can also be mounted securely to a wall using the

optional wall bracket from Boscop.

Power down and unplug the copier

Remove the back and/or side panels to reach the

copier’s foreign interface connector

Attach the copier harness between t

VCC

terminal

(DB15) and the copier’s foreign interface connector.

If applicable (not all machines require this), switch the

copier to foreign device mode (key counter, card

reader, coin op etc.) The copier service technician has

the procedure and keyboa

rd codes.

Check that all connections are secure, then plug in and

power up the copier and

VCC

terminal.

The copier should be disabled until a valid user ID is

entered and authorized via the terminal.

Replace the copier panel(s).

Circuit boards

Your

VCC

erminal has been thoroughly tested prior to

shipping and so it is unlikely any parts will fail on

installation.

Problems are

likely

to occur

with the

network connection

or the external interfacing. Once

you have checked the connec

tions, check the fol

lowing:



Power

–

Is the display lit?



Network

–

Is the

network link light on, it is situated

beneath the up/down arrows



Software

–

All

Boscop’s

products require

installation of network software. Check with your

software provider’s support staff or help des

before calling

Boscop

Connection



Power cord to wall socket (90 VAC to 264 VAC)



Ethernet cable (not supplied)



–

ordered separately

All the connection points are on the rear of the

VCC

termi

nal. Be sure that the copier interfac

e is correctly

connected BEFORE powering up the

VCC

and the

copier; connecting the copier while power is on may

severely damage the copier and the

VCC

Once the network cable is connected and power is

provided, the

network link light will

appear and the

display will

continue to

read “

. If it does not, then check the

network connections and cabling.

Network switching

It does not matter which of the network ports is used

for the incoming or outgoing network connecti

ons, the

VCC network switch operates identically in either of the

ports.

Initial install

Is the

network link light lit on the rig

ht side of the

terminal

? If

, check the cable and connections.

Can you ping the

VCC

unit from the server?

a) Yes

–

check the server software configuration

b) No



Is the network configured to pass broadcast

packets?

Destination port 2613 and source

ort 68 must be open for the

terminal

contact the server. TCP ports

1234 and 1235

must also be open.



Will another unit work in that same location?



Will that unit work in another location

closer to the server?



Run the

VCC

test program on a lap

top. You

wil

l need a standard Cat5e Ethernet cable.



Is the hardware in the

terminal

working?

Check the LED status on the circuit board

when connected to the net

work.

Does the copier enable when connection is made

with the server software? If not, make sure the

pier harness is cor

rect and that the copier is set to

foreign device or key coun

ter mode.

You may use

the copier test function found under the parameters

menu to do this.

Does the

VCC

debit at all? If not, check that the

copier in

terface is correct

with the

terminal

Does the

VCC

debit copies incorrectly? Check the

timing parameters (see page 4).

Post installation

Check that the network terminal settings are

correct (you may need to contact the network

administrator locally).

Can you ping

the

VCC

from the print software server?

Yes. Check all software settings.

No. Run the

VCC

diagnostic tool from your

laptop through the Ethernet port (you will need

a standard Cat5e cable

to run the connection

through a hub).

Replace the terminal, if the pr

oblem persists,

change the local hub and get the network

connectivity

verified to your position.

The most common fault is caused by the terminal

setting having been changed inadvertently. Ask the

network ad

ministrator to keep a record of all

terminal

settings for easy reference.

INTERFACING WITH A COPIER

The

VCC

terminal

was designed to be used as a copier

controller and print release station. To function as a

copier con

troller, the

VCC

terminal

requires an interface

harness specific to the copier an

d properly adjusted

interface timing to accurately read the debit pulse.

TIMING PARAMETERS

These parameters are adjustable to allow a wide variety of

copiers to be used and to e

nsure that all copies

will be

accurately counted, regardless of the

copier manufacturer

and

copier speed.

If you are in any doubt how to change these settings

please contact

tsupport@boscop.com

or call +1

603

188 ext 1.

Leading / Trailing Edge debiting

With leading

edge debiting (default), the debit occurs after

the minimum pulse

width time (sense time) is satisfied.

With trailing

edge debiting, the software delays the debit

until after the debit pulse goe

s inactive.

The preferred method with today’s copiers is leading

edge

debiting.

Pic.

Example debit pulse with leading

edge debiting

Pic.

Example debit pulse with trailing

edge debiting

Sense Time

This is the minimum length of time a debit pu

lse must be

active for it to be considered a valid debit pulse. The va

lid

range is 0

–

30 seconds in 1

0ms increments. If sense time

is set too short, the

VCC

could interpret noise as a debit

pulse; if it is set too long, the unit may not register all

copie

s made.

The

VCC

boots with sense time set to

0ms.

Blind Time

This is the length of time after a valid pulse when any

further pulses registered by that opto are ignored. The

lid range is 0

–

30 seconds in 1

0ms increments. Blind

Time masks unwanted p

ulses (i.e., double pulses or

glitches). If this parameter is set too short, double debits

could occur, but if set too long, vends could be missed.

The

VCC

boots with Blind Time set to 1

0ms.

Reset Delay

This is the length of time that the relays stay

energized

after the job is terminated (i.e., the patron pushes the

terminate button or escrow falls below the vend price).

This setting must be

long enough for the job to complete

and the paper to get through

the copier, but not so long

that another job s

tarts.

The

VCC

boots

with Reset Delay set to 500ms.

Eject Delay

This is the length of time between the end of the Reset

Delay and the moment the account is closed. If Eject

Delay is set too short, the account will be closed while the

copier is still r

unning. If set too long, a customer might

become irritated, waiting for his or

her account to close.

The

VCC

boots with Eject Delay set to 500ms.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing any problems with copies not

counting correctly or copies not regi

stering at all then

please use the debug mode (see page

of this guide) to

adjust the copier timing parameters while off

line so that

you can determine the correct settings to apply in your

chosen copy and print management software.

Network upgrade utili

The preferred method for updating firmware in the

VCC is using our network upgrade utility.

The

latest version can be downloaded from

http://virtualcash.biz/ftp/2nd%20gen%20board/

Once you

have installed the utility, all instructions

are included in the help file. You will also need to

download the latest version of our firmware from

the same location or have it e

mailed to you by

our support team.

You will need a regular Cat5e or

crossover

cable to complete the upgrade.

Call 603

744

2188 Ext 1 for live help.

Serial upgrade utility

In the

unlikely

event

the network utility fails to

upgrade your terminal you will need to use our

older serial upgrade.

This is the location of jumper J4 (you w

ill need a

medium Philips type screwdriver to open the case)



Open the VCC and install jumper J4 (at

end

of arrow).

This jumper is located just to the right of the RJ45

network port



Connect a serial cable between the

VCC’s DB9 and the

PC and activate a serial terminal program such as

HyperTerminal. Set the communication interface to

57600

1 and specify hardware flow control. The

serial cable should be a straight through male to

female.



Apply power to the VCC whi

ch will send a menu to

HyperTerminal. From this menu choose “C” to flash

current firmware location. The VCC will then erase the

flash memory which will take about 15 seconds.



The HyperTerminal display should now read, “Send

ASCII Intel Hex File To Begin

Download…”. At this

point the board is waiting to receive the Intel hex file.

In order to send the hex file using HyperTerminal, go

to the Transfer



SendTextFile and select the hex file

sent to you by Boscop. During the download, the

terminal window will d

isplay a list of addresses. At the

end of the download you should receive a message

indicating there were no errors found and that the PCB

should be reset. The download should take about 3.5

minutes.

When completed, move jumper J4 onto

just one of the pi

ns for safe keeping



This completes the firmware upgrade. Power cycle

the unit and the new software should load.
