2.0 The SurePOS 100 Mechanical Package

The chassis and component integration features are designed with cost, ease of service, and ruggedness in mind. The following components are integrated into the chassis:

- Core logic; CPU, system board, etc.

- Monitor

- Printer

- Keyboard

- MSR

- Keylock

- Power Supply

- Mounting point for optional Customer Display.

2.1 Dimensions

System unit height at front: 5.2 cm (2.05 in) System unit height at rear: 12 cm (4.72 in) Height of monitor : 37 cm (14.6 in) System unit width 33 cm (13 in)

3.0 Comparison with SureOne

The SurePOS 100 Point of Sale Terminal is an electrical and mechanical redesign of the 4614 SureOne P80/P81.

The following information is intended to assist SureOne users with the transition to the SurePOS 100.

Most external I/O devices and programming interfaces are compatible between the two products.

Exceptions are noted below.

SurePOS 100 does not:

• support a journal take up kit.

• enable fiscalization. A SurePOS 100-based fiscal solution uses the printerless model with a locally

sourced fiscal printer.

• Offer a Floppy disk drive.

• Offer a Parallel port

• Have a printer cover open sensor.

SurePOS 100 uses a standard IBM RSS RS-232 2x20 VFD option—the SureONE VFD is not compatible. The SureOne VFD is not electrically compatible with SurePOS 100. There is no available port. The programming interface of the standard 2x20 used with SurePOS 100 is similar in many respects to the SureOne interface. Key areas of difference are in selection of code pages and in establishing User-defined characters.

SurePOS 100 supports a 3 track MSR.

MSR error reporting is improved. See the SurePOS 100 Keyboard Tech Ref.

Minor differences in MSR scan codes exist between SurePOS 100 and SureONE. See the SurePOS 100 Keyboard Tech Ref.

The SurePOS100 keyboard uses the same key-switch technology as IBM’s Point of Sale Keyboard line.

This section contains a list of the devices that constitute each functional section of each model. Detailed device specifications are found in subsequent sections.

5.4 Ethernet

. NO SUPPORT FOR RPL OR NETWARE PROTOCOLS is provided.

Depending on software and BIOS setup options, if a unit is off and AC power is available, the LAN function WakeOn-LAN can be enabled. This feature can be used to cause a terminal that is in either the standby or off state to “wake up” or power up on a specified LAN event. Waking up from the off state is dependent on the OS used, the level of support provided by the LAN drivers, and how the customer has configured the hardware, OS, and application.

The LAN function is compatible with the following industry standards: IEEE 802.3i 10baseT/100baseT physical layer interface IEEE 802.3u auto negotiation

6.1 Keyboard, Keylock, MSR

6.1.1 Keyboard

The SurePOS 100 terminal has a matrix keyboard with the following features:

96 keys The standard accessory kit contains the clear keycaps, plus double keys and blanking bars. The keyboard is shipped without keycaps installed. The distributor merges a language- or country-unique keytop or keytop label kit with the unit. An optional accessory kit provides a quad key Default QWERTY style that is layout compatible with a Standard PC 101, 102, or 103 key layout The keyboard appears to the system as a standard PC keyboard. The capability to program the keyboard scan codes which are transmitted to the application software is described in the SurePOS 100 Programmable Keyboard Technical Reference section of this document.

scan codes and appear as keyboard input

Data Speed is the rate which keyboard scan codes are transmitted from keyboard controller to Host PS/2 port. This feature allows adjusting the rate for problems that exists with some software applications.

6.1.1.2 Keyboard Wedge Considerations

Many keyboard “wedge” devices exist in the market. These plug into a PS/2 port and transmit data to the application as keyboard scan codes.

IBM cannot guarantee that all wedge devices will work. As with any other open system, the system Integrator must test with all software and I/O being offered as a complete solution to end users.

6.1.2 Keylock

The SurePOS 100 Terminal contains a 3-position keylock that can be read by an application program. One of the positions can also be used to prevent the terminal from booting. This non-booting mode is a configuration option that can be enabled or disabled by the user. The keylock does not provide any physical (cover-locking) security.

The keylock is the same style keylock used on other IBM POS equipment and is available with a variety of key configurations.

6.1.3 Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)

Each terminal is shipped with an integrated 3- track MSR. Supported tracks are:

Page 17 of 104

Track 1/2 Track 1/3 Track 2/3 All tracks

The MSR data is delivered as if it had been entered manually via the keyboard A detailed description of default scancodes and the ability to program the MSR scan codes which are transmitted to the application software is available in the SurePOS 100 Programmable Keyboard Technical Reference section of this document. A separate MSR I/O port is not provided.

6.1.4 Multiple Input considerations

Limitations

Simultaneous input from the internal keyboard, MSR, or external keyboard port is not supported. In such an event, data from the internal keyboard or external keyboard port may be lost. Data from the MSR is given priority and will not be lost or interrupted.

Data Source Identification A data source identification option will be added that will enable applications to determine, via the data stream

coming from the keyboard, the source of the data. It should be noted that this interface will be outside the scope of the PC keyboard interface, and will make the keyboard datastream unique to SureOne.

There are 3 possible data sources: Internal matrix keyboard External keyboard port Internal MSR

Each data source can be selected to have its data identified individually (i.e., an application can choose to only enable identification of the MSR and external keyboard port while leaving the internal port alone). A detailed description of configurating data source identification is available in the SurePOS 100 Programmable Keyboard Technical Reference section of this document

6.5 Printer

The SurePOS 100 POS Terminal is available with either an impact printer, a thermal printer, or no integrated printer.

Each printer solution consists of a print head assembly mounted under the printer cover and a printer card mounted under the keyboard cover. The thermal and impact printers each have a unique printer card. Each Printer adapter card is available in three versions: Single Byte, double byte traditional Chinese, and double byte simplified Chinese.

.Firmware is unique to each version of printer adapter card and fonts cannot be downloaded to other cards to change their “personality.”

7.0 System Programming Considerations

7.1 Identification via software

The system vital product can be obtained from the SMBIOS. Information which can be parsed from SMBIOS includes (but is not limited to):

• Machine Type Model

• Serial Number

• UUID

7.2 Control Registers

The following are the only control registers supported on SurePOS 100, and are compatible with the SureOne models P80 and P81.

SurePOS 100 has a custom designed integrated circuit to manage COM port assignments, keylock reads, and cash drawer configuration. The SurePOS 100 has two I/O ports located at I/O addresses 240h and 241h. Address 240h is the index port and address 241h is the data port. A register index value is written to address 240h, then address 241h is read from or written to in order to actually pass data to or from the control registers.

Usage examples:

To read index registers 10h and 11h. Write the value 10h to I/O address 240h. Read I/O address 241h. The read value is the value of index register 10h. Write the value 11h to I/O address 240h. Read I/O address 241h. The read value is the value of index register 11h.

To write the index register at 12h with 55h. Write the value 12h to I/O address 240h. Write the value 55h to I/O address 241h.

Programs that access control registers must insure that the index register at I/O address 240h is written to 00h at the end of any I/O operation to prevent register contents from being changed accidentally by runaway code.

8.0 IO Programming Considerations

The following sections describe programming considerations for the SurePOS 100 keyboard, magnetic stripe reader (MSR), and printers.

8.1 Keyboard

Some keys that are on a normal PC keyboard are not on this keyboard. These include the non-numeric keys surrounding the PC numeric pad (+, Enter, *, -, /), and the Numlock key. Three keys that are on a PC keyboard are implemented using a special Pos Shift key. The functions of these three keys are implemented on a key that is used for another function in its non-shifted state. These are:

Pos Shift + Ins generates the scan code for the PrtScr key (124) Pos Shift + Home generates the scan code for the ScrLk key (125) Pos Shift + PgUp generates the scan code for the Pause key (126) Pos Shift + Esc generates the scan codes for the combination of the left Ctrl key and the Pause key (126). This key combination is commonly known as the Break key. This key definition is included because

it is easier to do Pos Shift + Escape than Ctrl + Pos Shift + Pause. The Pos Shift key itself generates no scan code of its own to the keyboard port when the keyboard is configured to be in 101, 102, or 103 (v10) PC mode. Note: An optional Quad Key can be ordered and installed to replace four existing keys in a 2-by-2 pattern. No keyboard driver is required or provided to use the keyboard in the default PC mode. When the keyboard is configured to be in POS mode, the application program must use standard PC keyboard interfaces to intercept the keystrokes (scan codes) and perform the appropriate translation and detection.

8.4 Magnetic Strip Reader (MSR)

A 3-track MSR is shipped with every unit. Available configurations, configurable through the BIOS, are:

Tracks 1/2

Tracks 2/3

Tracks 1/3

All tracks

MSR data is brought in through the keyboard port as keyboard data. Non-ANSI/ISO-encoded credit cards cannot be read. The format for MSR data is:

SS = Start Sentinel = % for Track 1 = ; for Tracks 2 and 3 ES = End Sentinel = ? for Tracks 1, 2, and 3 CR = Carriage Return

8.4.1 MSR Error Handling

8.5 Keylock

The keylock is a 3-position keylock. The key can be removed in all three positions. If the boot-lock mode in the configuration screen is activated, the terminal does not boot when the keylock is in position 1. The keylock position can be read from the SurePOS 100 ASIC through a read to index register 26h. Values are:

xxxxx111 position 1 (the locked position shown on the cover) xxxxx110 position 2 xxxxx101 position 3
