From an ultra powerful processor through to software development
The NBS5xxx circuit board is based on an ARM 9 processor with very large scale integration: "a circuit board
in a chip". It contains a series of smart peripherals and a 32-bit RISC
remaining active with very low consumption levels.
These manage:
• Software actual isolation
ensures the integrity of the software applications and their data. Thus no application can have its
data or code consulted or altered by another.
, essential in a multi-application context. The design of the processor
processor rated at 180 MHz, capable of
• Simultaneity
when printing while inputting data on the keypad.
among the various peripherals, reducing the transaction time required, for example,
NBS Payment Solutions 17/60 User Manual
Page 18
• Memory space, which is directly addressable by the processor (no paging mechanism).
Software development is made easier, and memory space availability is optimal.
• Standby mode that keeps the terminal activated between transactions even when not placed on
its base (which avoids having to wait for the device to switch on and off).
• Easy integration of the NBS5xxx in all types of business thanks to the thermal printer's
silence
, a compact footprint and excellent ergonomics.
The NBS5xxx has been designed to make maintenance easy and improve reliability.
The NBS5xxx is fully downloadable, including the downloader itself
!
In addition the operating system now onboard each NBS5XXX offers highly evolved functions such as the
maintenance system
, local diagnostics and remote diagnostics, functions improving after sales service
and enabling efficient equipment management.
Memory space optimization was also in the design brief. The software is compressed and stored in non-
volatile memory.
Reduced download time The reduction of download time was a major requirement; it is very reduced, thanks
to data compression
techniques. Of course, selective downloading enables one software application to be
downloaded or changed independently of the others or the system. The use of FTP TCP/IP and PPP allows
download times to be optimized. Once the connection has been made with the V32b modem, downloading a
120 Kb software application takes about 1 min.
The application software development platform is one of the most efficient on the market. It
enables developments and debugging in "C" language

1.8.2 Data security
1.8.2.1 Equipment design
The terminal was designed with the goal of resisting tampering, in order to keep the confidential character of
sensitive data (keys or confidential code), and to delete this data as soon as a tamper attempt is detected.
Tamper resistance
• All the data are inside the crypto processor and are thus physically protected by the chip. This prevents
the reading of secret bank keys and confidential codes.
• The display, keypad and smart card readers are controlled by the crypto processor.
1.8.2.2 Tamper detection
Protection against tampering
• By micro switches
• By temperature surveillance
• By voltage surveillance
NBS Payment Solutions 19/60 User Manual
Page 20
1.8.2.3 Tamper evidence
When tampering occurs, the terminal reacts:
• The crypto processor deletes sensitive data
• A message is displayed to alert the user
• The crypto processor locks
• The keypad locks with display of the message, "unauthorized" or "irruption"
• The damaged security labels provide evidence that the product has been opened.
1.8.2.4 Software design
Software loading is made secure. Only authentic, signed and certified software can be loaded into the
terminal.
a) The software identification scheme is based on:
− Asymmetric encryption algorithm with public and private keys
− Certified RSA cards
− Software Signature Tool (SST)
b) Software intended to be loaded into the secure terminal must first be signed by a Software Signature Tool
(SST).
They can then be downloaded using an LLT (Local Loading Tool).
c) Once the software is loaded, the crypto processor checks the loaded software's certificate and
signature. This operation constitutes the authentication. If the loaded software is authentic, it is accepted.
If this condition is satisfied, the downloading of software into an NBS5XXX using an LLT or a TMS operates
the same way as for other products in SAGEM Monetel's EFT range.
NOTE: "LLT" and "TMS" are described in the section "Loading software".
1.8.2.5 Use design
• The product has to be activated before any use. Once activated, the terminal is
operational. Activation enables:
− software loading,
− product security.
1.8.2.6 Standards
Compliance with international specifications for:
• PEDS (PIN Entry Device Security): on-line or off-line terminals accepting PIN cards (debit/credit).
• EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) standards: standard smart card processing (EMV standards) version

1.8.3 The isolation mechanism by electronic locking system
Isolation
Read/write isolation is obtained by USER confinement in the application software memory
space. Inter-software isolation is controlled by an MMU (Memory Management Unit).
MMU features
• Material protection
• Total inter-software protection (read/write)
• Code protection
Inviolable memory protection
The controller checks each access to the memory.
The OS is inviolable and protected
The Processor distinguishes two execution worlds:
- USER world: software domain.
-SUPERVISOR world: OS domain. No software running in the USER world can access the
SUPERVISOR world. This exclusion mechanism is ensured by the processor itself. Therefore the OS is
inviolable, even in the case of an application software bug. This system inviolability ensures that the isolation
mechanism supervised by the OS always remains operational.
The OS ensures the inter-inviolability of software applications
The OS can decide the access rights of the USER world at any time.
The MMU used by the processor enables the software's addressable space to be delimited.
A software application can only write to the memory space corresponding to the scope of its data field. Any
attempt to write or read in another space is immediately "trapped" by the controller, generating an exception.
Thus the OS keeps a track of this incident for future use with remote diagnostics. The other software
applications remain non-violated and operational. Furthermore, the software in question cannot even self-
destruct, because its write access to code is denied.

2 SOFTWARE
The terminal, equipped with Telium® technology, has a structure that supports
several software applications coexisting without mutual interference.
The OS is multitask, real-time and pre-emptive.
The inputs/outputs are managed under interruptions.
This means the peripherals can be processed simultaneously, and thus improves the
terminal's performance.
It can be downloaded to FLASH memory.
NBS Payment Solutions 36/60 User Manual
Page 37
2.1 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
NBS Payment Solutions 37/60 User Manual
Page 38
The software architecture is divided into three levels:
• System
• Multi-application manager
• Independent applications
The system manages access to all the terminal's peripherals. Access is completed via standard C primitives
for all the input/output peripherals (keypad, printer, etc.) and via specific primitives for other peripherals (smart
cards and magnetic stripe cards). Further, the system takes charge of memory management. It allocates
memory space to the software applications and controls access.
The multi-applications manager is the entity that calls on the various software applications loaded in the
terminal in response to the various events that occur in the terminal.
The software applications are modeled around the demands made by the multi-applications manager. Each
request or input point represents a processing operation to be performed. Each software application manages
the execution of these processing operations according to its specifications. This standardization based on
®
input points simplifies the implementation of the software applications on terminals built using Telium
technology. It provides natural access to the modularity concepts and improves the maintainability and quality
of the software applications.
NBS Payment Solutions 38/60 User Manual

2.2 SOFTWARE SECURITY MANAGEMENT
The terminal is designed to execute only authentic software and to do this in a ranked context.
The terminal performs the following checks
a) When loading software, the terminal checks:
• Its authenticity, which is verified by checking its signature using the RSA algorithm with a 1024-bit key.
b) Before running software, the terminal checks:
• Its presence, which is verified by looking for the software's identity.
• Its integrity, which is verified by checksums and CRCs.
NBS Payment Solutions 39/60 User Manual
Page 40
2.3 OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)
2.3.1 Bootstrap
The bootstrap is resident.
The bootstrap very briefly takes control of the terminal following each powering up to perform the initialization
and the self-test. Then it automatically runs the OS which in turn starts the applications manager.
Thus the Bootstrap provides the following functionalities:
• Memory and checksum self-test
• Local loading of the OS if absent
• OS authenticity check and start-up.
NBS Payment Solutions 40/60 User Manual
Page 41
2.3.2 Operating system (OS) characteristics
The OS is (down)loaded into the memory. It is upgradeable. After a few fractions of a second following
powering up, it takes control. It checks the presence, integrity and authenticity of the system components
and application software present in the terminal.
The maintenance subsystem takes control in the following cases:
- if no authentic software application is present,
- or if a manual action by the operator is made when powering up,
- or if it is activated by application software.
The maintenance subsystem ensures, among other things, application software downloading.
The OS ensures the start of the multitask core and then runs the application software by making a set
of services available to them:
- Multitask management: Availability of a pre-emptive real-time environment, based on
interruptions, events and letter boxes. This management enables simultaneous
processing, which improves the terminal's performance.
- Input/output management: This is carried out under interruptions, generally in buffered
mode. Thus, the applications software developer enters a "conventional" C context.
- System alarms management: Certain incidents (e.g. swipe card reading error) detected by
the OS are recorded. They can be used later by the maintenance subsystem during remote
or local diagnostics.
- Application software alarms management: A number of incidents detected by the
software applications can be saved by the OS at their request. This recording is used later
as in the case of system alarms.
- Application software isolation management: The OS provides the mechanisms described
in the section on software isolation and memory protection. Between software isolation is
managed by an MMU (Memory Management Unit).
- Software loading and downloading management: The OS offers the (down)loading
services described in the section "Software loading"

2.4 TELIUM® MANAGER
The main functions offered by Telium® manager are the following:
– Application software management
– Terminal initialization
– Terminal maintenance
– Card recognition and routing to the application software
It selects the application software:
– EMV application software (complies with EMV2000 level 2 (EMV4.0)
– non-EMV application software
In France, it is compatible with the following environments
– Health
– French banking
– "Private applications"
2.4.1 Terminal initialization
2.4.1.1 Operating requirements
To function, the terminal has to be equipped with its OS, the applications software manager and at least one
application. If one of the three components is missing, the terminal warns the operator who has to load it.
If no application software is initialized, the applications manager displays a message asking for an application
to be initialized.
If at least one application is initialized, the terminal is operational. The applications manager then awaits an
event to poll the software applications loaded in the terminal.
2.4.1.2 Initializing common parameters
The applications manager is used to load the common parameters:
Date, time, message display language, phone network configuration data, local loading of remote diagnostics.
NBS Payment Solutions 42/60 User Manual
Page 43
2.4.2 Terminal maintenance
The terminal has maintenance functions for...
• Properties
• Local loading
• Diagnostics
2.4.2.1 Properties
The properties function is used to print the following tickets:
• List of applications software loaded into the terminal: version number, checksum, etc. The applications
manager prints this information for itself and for the operating system.
• Applications software call time: remote collect, loading, etc.
• Total number of transactions in each application file contained in the terminal.
2.4.2.2 Loading
The program update function is used to update the terminal by:
• Using a special local loading tool connected to the terminal,
• Loading using the information supplied at the moment of initialization of the applications manager.
2.4.2.3 Diagnostics
The diagnostics function is used for:
• Local diagnostics
The operator can request the printout of incidents or alarms saved in the terminal. This saving consists of
two groups of items:
- Incident counters: used for repetitive-type incidents, when only the number of occurrences is of
use,
e.g. the number of incorrect swipe readings.
- Exceptional events. The information content depends on the type of incident. Generally this is the
date and time, and then information on the incident itself. These events are saved in a revolving
file where the most recent are kept.
• Remote diagnostics
This allows the operator to make a call to the server to transfer information saved in the terminal. The
server can thus enrich a database for ensuring efficient monitoring of equipment, propose preventive
maintenance services, operating statistics, etc.

2.5 SOFTWARE LOADING
2.5.1 Local loading and downloading
Software can be loaded:
• Locally via the serial port (COM or USB): local loading.
• Remotely via the switched telephone network (STN) or by X25: downloading.
The techniques used:
• TCP/IP
• data compression,
• authenticity checking,
• memory allocation management, etc.
best optimize the (down)loading operations. Hence savings in (down)loading time, use security, ease of
upgrade, and number of software programs installed in the terminal
2.5.2 Tools: LLT and TMS
LLT (Local Loading Tool)
The LLT is used for local software loading.
The LLT is comprised of:
• PC running Windows 2000/NT4,
• SAGEM Monetel loading software,
• PC-terminal connection cable.
Local Loading is carried out:
• Using the PC with the LLT installed, on the serial COM or USB slave port
• Automatic switching to the local loader of the OS.
Two possible connections:
• By COM port: Speed 115,200 bps
• By USB slave port: Speed about 8 Mbps
Selection of the software to load is guided on the PC screen using an Explorer-type windowing system
(Windows Loader).
Loading time of 200-kb software application:
• About 15 s via the COM port
• Less than 5 s via the USB port
TMS (Terminal Management Server)
The TMS is a file server PC that ensures the downloads as well as the other tasks it handles.
See its full description in the "TMS" section
NBS Payment Solutions 44/60 User Manual
Page 45
2.5.3 Loading and managing memory allocation in the terminal
• Before (down)loading, the system checks that the memory space is available.
• Software loading (possibly compressed) is done into flash.
If software is deleted, the system frees the space.
If software is upgraded, the system loads the new software, checks it and then deletes the old.
The whole memory zone remains used and usable. No zone is reserved for upgrades.
• When the terminal starts up (power up or reset) the software applications are decompressed and the code
copied into RAM.
2.5.4 Improved software downloading
Includes the following characteristics:
• Loading via FTP TCP/IP and PPP for optimized loading.
V32b downloading performance is:
– about 1.4 kbps on the original files. Once the connection has been made with the V32b modem,
downloading a 120 Kb software application takes about 1 min.
• Automatic dial-up and access to the download server in the switched telephone network (STN) or by X25
(TRANSPAC in France) through public PAD or private PAD access.
• Data compression according to algorithm based on the Lempel-Ziv method ensuring compression rates
of about 40%.
• For downloading, only the improved software application will be downloaded. In addition, the terminal
manages this and not the remote server, which offers operating security during multiple source loading.
• Recall management in case of communication breakdown This service enables an interrupted download
to be resumed at the same place where it had lost connection and only to download the unfinished part.
The downloaded software is executed securely, using the authenticity check.
NBS Payment Solutions 45/60 User Manual
Page 46
2.5.5 Starting the download
The download request can be made from:
• The applications manager at the business's request. This is especially the case of a program
update or the addition of new software into the terminal's memory. In this case the procedure is
simplified to the maximum.
Thus, the user starts the call from the applications manager by choosing the upgrade function
from the dialogue menus and keys. Dial-up and connection to the server are automatic.
- For an upgrade, the user has nothing to enter.
- For a new software request, the user is guided on screen to make the choice. The business's ID
is not requested. The ID saved in the terminal is automatically transmitted to the server.
• The application software at the request of the centre or the business (e.g. in France by
"envelopes").
In this case, the downloading is fully automatic. The downloading ticket lets the business know.

3 TERMINAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
NBS Payment Solutions 52/60 User Manual
Page 53
3.1 TERMINAL MANAGEMENT SERVER (TMS)
TMS = (Terminal Management Server)
TMS functions
The TMS provides management functions for terminal equipment, i.e.
• software downloading
• parameter downloading
• equipment monitoring (equipment status, alarms, software present, etc.)
Thanks to its modular architecture and the use of market standards, the TMS application can be adapted to
the amount of equipment to be managed. Thus a configuration for 10,000 terminals can be run on a PC
equipped with 16 serial channels, to enable the update of a software program within two weeks.
TMS breakdown
TMS comprises applications software running on one or more PCs
• PC and servers under Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000
• Oracle DBMS
• Person-machine interface to Windows standard
• Communication with the terminals by STN lines or X25 access
TMS applications software
Services offered by the TMS:
• Definition of the equipment information: terminal declarations, retailers, groups, insertion of software
and parameters, messages to terminals.
• Communication with the terminals: for downloading exchanges of software, parameters, collection of
field configuration, counters, and alarms. Equipment in the EFT10, EFT20 and EFT30 ranges can also
be managed by TMS.
• Terminals monitoring: for each terminal, the field configuration, field software and parameters,
history of loadings and diagnostics are available.
• Equipment monitoring: audit log (call report, operator actions), report of terminals not up to date,
availability of monitoring and diagnostics data for use by external tools.
• Cyclic calls: cyclic call data can be defined for each terminal. These data enable the terminal to make
a call to the TMS to periodically upload its diagnostics, and check the presence of new software or
parameters to be loaded.

3.2 REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS AND MAINTENANCE
REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS AND
MAINTENANCE
CURATIVE
The terminal's OS can save information on
the terminal's use and upload it to the server. This is
given in the form of incident counters organized by
typology, and others in the form of events.
Each program can detect an anomaly and
request the system to keep track. "Application"- type
and "system"-type anomalies are recorded. Both
types can be very useful for diagnostics.
In case of malfunctioning, the user can start
the remote diagnostic function. Thus, the server
operator sees the entire saved zone uploaded, and
most importantly the last incident. This helps the
diagnostics, and the operator can in certain cases
take action remotely. This is remote diagnostics and
possibly remote maintenance. Take two examples:
• The case where a card (say AMEX) is
refused by the terminal. The server operator
can see the content of the refused card, and
can analyze the cause of the refusal. The
operator may see that the AMEX software is
not present in the terminal software. A simple
download suffices to restore correct
operation.
• The case where a smart card incident has
been saved. This may be a retailer using the
terminal incorrectly.
REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS AND
MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE
In normal operation, periodic collection of the
information contained in a terminal can enable the
detection of deterioration in the terminal's
performance, which may indicate an approaching
failure or also incorrect use of the terminal. The
server operator can then decide on the action to take
to prevent the failure that would make the terminal
unavailable. Take an example:
At the time of a periodic upload of information
saved in the terminal, the counter of incorrect
readings of stripe cards is too high for the given
period.
This may mean:
• incorrect use of the terminal, e.g. incorrect
card swipe direction
• Actual reading faults, which may be due to
"soiling" of the reading head or which
requires its replacement. Intervention can be
started and fault repaired before it repeats,
thus increasing terminal availability.
Observed incidents may be resolved
remotely, for example by downloading a new software
version, thus avoiding any traveling, and especially by
maintaining equipment up to date, significantly
increasing each terminal's availability rate, and
facilitating the task of equipment monitoring and
management.
