PCI Compliance.

The AC3100 connects to the Universal Edition Host via 10/100 Base-T or RS-485 through an IP Converter

(IPC). In UNIX Edition, the AC3100 optionally connects via RS-485. This unit replaces the Value Transfer

Station (VTS) on the UNIX Edition Host, and the Card Management Center (CMC) on the Universal Edition

Host.

The AC3100 accepts unattended deposits into existing cardholder accounts, and must be online to be

operational.

AC3100 INSTALLATION

AC3100 INSTALLATION

Mount the AC3100

The AC3100 can be surface mounted on a wall, recessed into a wall, or mounted on a pedestal. At least

four 3/8” diameter metal fasteners should be used to mount the enclosure. The installer is responsible for

ensuring the unit is securely installed to prevent theft.

WARNING: Use caution when opening the door without the enclosure secured to a wall or
pedestal. The weight of the door when open can cause the unit to tip over and cause injury.
Ensure the unit is securely mounted prior to operation.

To mount the AC3100

1 Decide where to mount the unit, and how to route power.

Conduit knockouts are located in the junction box located in the lower left of the enclosure. Power
wiring must enter the unit within the junction box.

2 Decide how to route the network wiring entering the unit.

NOTE: To eliminate risk of electrical shock or injury, do not route the network cable through
the junction box.

3 Punch or drill mounting holes in either the back or the bottom of the unit, based on the application.

4 Punch or drill a hole in the back or bottom of the cabinet to route the network cable.

This hole must be large enough to accommodate the RJ45 connector.

5 Securely mount the unit, see: Figure 1-3 Mounting Illustration (page 5).
