1. Introduction

This guide will detail how you install and use your ICT250 terminal, including Safety Instructions and
instructions on transaction processing, printing reports and general maintenance of the terminal.

2. Important Safety Instructions

Upon receipt of your terminal you should check for signs of tampering of the equipment. It is strongly
advised that these checks are performed regularly after receipt. You should check, for example: that
the keypad is firmly in place; that there is no evidence of unusual wires that have been connected to
any ports on your terminal or associated equipment, the chip card reader, or any other part of your
terminal. Such checks would provide warning of any unauthorised modifications to your terminal, and
other suspicious behaviour of individuals that have access to your terminal.

Your terminal detects any ‘tampered state’. In this state the terminal will repeatedly flash the
message ‘Alert Irruption!’ and further use of the terminal will not be possible. If you observe the
Alert Irruption!’ message, you should contact the terminal helpdesk immediately.

You are strongly advised to ensure that privileged access to your terminal is only granted to staff
that have been independently verified as being trustworthy.

CAUTION: Never ask the customer to divulge their PIN Code. Customers should be advised to ensure
that they are not being overlooked when entering their PIN Code.

General Safety Information

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but,
like any electrical apparatus, due care must still be taken.

• Do read and understand the instructions before using the equipment.

• Do Not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. For indoor use only.

• Do Not remove any screws or non-operator accessible covers.

• Do Not insert any metallic objects.

• Do Not stack telephone splitters.

• Do Not allow liquid to spill into cabinet openings.

• Do Not allow anything to rest on the power or telecomm cords and ensure all cables are

routed to prevent damage or accidental contact.

• Do Not continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,
or if it is damaged in any way. Switch off then withdraw the mains plug and consult your
service agent.

Service Requirements

Operator Access (ESD Precaution)

This is an Electrostatic (ESD) sensitive area. As a minimum, the operator should be ‘Electrostatically
Discharged’ via his/her hand to a suitable metallic earthing point prior to opening this area.

There are no other user serviceable parts inside. In the event of equipment malfunction, unplug the
power supply. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to the

Maintenance

Cleaning the Case

• DO NOT allow any water to enter inside the case. Remove any dust from the case using a
damp cloth. To clean off accumulated dirt and grime, use a damp cloth that has previously
been dipped in mild soap and water. Wring out thoroughly to remove excess water before use.

• DO NOT use solvents, cleaning fluids or abrasives. These materials could damage the plastic
housing and any exposed contacts.

External Power Supply

• This apparatus is intended for use when supplied with power from a low voltage external
power supply.

• Only an Ingenico approved power supply (CE Marked) specified for use with this Terminal may
be used.

• Since this product does not have a disconnect device (ON/OFF switch), the Terminal and Power
Supply must be installed near a suitable power socket which is easily accessible.

• In the event of a hazard or malfunction, the Power Supply Unit should be switched off at the
socket before being unplugged from the mains.

• The power supply output lead should only be plugged into the product power input socket.

• The power supply will provide adequate power for the Terminal. The user should ensure that

all other auxiliary apparatus, drawing power from the host, does not overload the power
supply.

• Operate only a from a power source as specified on the Power Supply Unit.

A damaged mains cord (if not a replaceable type) or low voltage secondary input lead cannot be
replaced by the user, the unit must be returned to the authorised service agent for essential repairs
and/or replacement.

Connections

Interconnection to other equipment via the externally accessible ports on the Terminal must only be
made as follows:

Power Supply Input: Operates at Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV). Connect only to an Ingenico
approved Power Supply (CE Marked) specified for use with the Terminal.

Port(s), 6 way: The RS232 type port(s) operate at SELV and must only be connected to a module of
the same type ie. SELV.

Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) Line, 6 Way: MUST only be connected to a PSTN socket
e.g. Telephone wall socket, PBX etc.

Under no circumstances must the PSTN cable be inserted into the RS232 ports. Take due care when
attaching cables.

Page 4

External Cables

DO NOT use any other external cables and/or cable lengths (must be less than 3 metres long) other
than those specified and/or supplied by the manufacturer. Ensure all cables are routed to prevent
damage or accidental contact.

MODEM

General Description

The Terminal has an integral modem that allows the Terminal to transfer transaction data to card
companies host computer systems.

The internal modem supports: CCITT V22bis/V22/V21/V32, V32bis, V34 data transfer protocols.
It has an automatic dialling facility.

Disclaimer

This equipment has been designed for connection to the local Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN). The apparatus must not be subjected to any modification, in any material way, unless
authorised by Ingenico. Nor must it be used with:

Internal Modem Software that has not been formally accepted by the manufacturer. External control
Software or external control equipment which causes operation of the modem or associated call
set-up equipment to contravene the requirements of the PSTN Network.

Systems to which the Modem may be connected
This Modem is only approved for connection to the following telecommunications systems:

1. The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

2. Any equivalent service run by any Licensed Telecommunications Network Operator.

3. Private Branch Exchange (PBX) extensions, being a Branch Telecommunications System operating

under a license.

4. The Modem is not suitable for shared service or 1+1 carrier systems nor as an extension to a

payphone.

PLEASE NOTE: It cannot be guaranteed that the Modem will operate correctly under all possible
conditions of connection to PBX’s. Any cases of difficulty should be referred in the first instance to
Ingenico.

Connection

The modem is connected to the PSTN via a standard plug and flexible cord, which requires a suitable
compatible socket (and adaptor if required).

Terminals connected to phone lines where a broadband service is present must be connected
through an ADSL microfilter.

Dialling

This modem is suitable only for connection to direct exchange and/or PBX lines which provide Dual
Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) dialling facilities.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

To determine the total number of items of apparatus that should be connected simultaneously to
an exclusive PSTN line, the total REN values of each of the items of apparatus connected to the line
should not exceed the maximum REN value 4.0. This value includes any Network operator provided
instrument, each of which is assumed to have a REN value of 1.0 unless otherwise marked.

bottom of the card.

Make sure that the bottom of the card runs firmly along the
bottom of the card swipe and that the card is swiped at
even speed.

The speed of the card swipe should not be
too slow as this can sometimes cause problems
when the terminal is reading the card.

PLEASE NOTE: It is important to swipe cards correctly through the terminal so that they can be read
by the card reader.

4. Installation is now complete and the terminal will display the READY prompt. Your terminal is
now ready for use.

Check the date and time on your terminal, if this needs to be corrected refer to Section 29 of this
guide for details on how to do this

.

5. Using the Terminal

Inserting a Chip Card into the Terminal

The card should be inserted into the terminal with the chip facing uppermost. The terminal can
detect if a chip card has been swiped as a magnetic card.

If the card has not been inserted previously, it will prompt you to
insert the card.

If the card is inserted the wrong way or there is a problem
with the chip, the terminal will prompt for the card to be
removed and inserted again.

The terminal will prompt you when the card is
to be removed.
