Remaining Anonymous Customer Limits (where applicable).
Counters:
Long counters are “forever” - all amounts since the BATM was placed into service on CAS.
Buy Counters Long: displays the amount of cash ever deposited into the BATM. This amount is saved for the duration of the BATM service life while installed on your CAS.
Sell Counters Long: displays the amount of cash ever issued from the BATM. This amount is saved for the duration of the BATM service life while installed on your CAS.

General Settings
All settings marked with a double asterisk (**) are required.
Items in red can only be changed by users with administrator privileges.
Serial Number: from the label! Used throughout CAS to uniquely identify each BATM.
Version: the firmware version currently installed in the BATM.
Network Info: the type of network this BATM was last connected to, and it's last known IP address.
Restore point version: information about the most recent restore point created.
Name: an arbitrary name you call this particular BATM. Be descriptive. Anything that will help you pick it out of a list will do.
Acceptors: the type of bill acceptor (and billset) currently installed in your BATM is displayed here.
Created at: read-only setting that reveals the date this Terminal was added to the database.
Terminal Locked: Terminal settings cannot be changed while locked by an Administrator.
Terminal Active: enables the terminal, otherwise the BATM displays the maintenance message. De-activating the terminal turns off all access except administrative (at the BATM) and CAS (here).
Deactivate outside of opening hours: when enabled, the BATM is deactivated (and cannot be used) outside of the “opening hours” as defined within the assigned Location.
IP Whitelist Enabled: prevents your BATM from connecting to potentially dangerous local networks, and helps prevent loss if your BATM is abducted. See: Error: Check your IP Whitelist
Enable this after the BATM is deployed onsite, disable it during initial setup only.
IP Whitelist: the IP of the current (or most recent) router that your BATM is connected to.
Enable this if you are certain the IP will never unexpectedly change.
The IP to be entered is your router’s PUBLIC IP. Entering a local/private IP will result in the BATM being blocked. e.g. 192.168.x.x is a “private” IP - the opposite of public. More info?
Update IP Whitelist automatically unless Terminal restarted: enable when IP’s are dynamically set by the Internet provider. When they assign a new public IP to the router, this setting will automatically accept the new IP and update the setting.
Allow Buy Orders: when used with the GBSafe, enables “orders” to be created (instead of transactions). Orders are subject to a different level of legal scrutiny in certain regional jurisdictions.
Registration Number: helps identify a BATM from the BATM screen (when implemented).
Can be any arbitrary identifying information, including any legally required registration numbers.
Also see (below): ATM display top left corner
Top Left Corner Display: Used to display helpful identifying information at the BATM to customers & other third-parties (merchants, handlers, techs, etc) onsite.
Block “Not Registered” by Certain Line Type: changing this setting is an additive restriction to the blocked line types (as set in Organization).
The fleet-wide setting is controlled here: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ESD/pages/2748186625/Organization#Phone-Lookup-Provider
This Terminal setting can only add additional blocking - it does not (and cannot) remove blocking.
Terminal physical appearance: the BATM display graphics can be modified to match the actual appearance of the machine. Select the physical appearance here.
Unknown (default).

Terminal settings may be standardized and applied across common models.
Use Terminal Templates to create & share those settings, see: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/l/c/giG3y00Z
Once created, set the preferred Terminal Template here to deploy it on this BATM.
Owner **: the Organization that owns this BATM terminal (admin only).

The default key is already implemented, so leave this blank during initial setup.
Do not change this unless you have read this article: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ESD/pages/941883535
Maintenance Message: displays “Out Of Service”, “Gone Fishing”, or whatever you set here.
Controlled by the “Terminal Active” setting above (“inactive” displays the specified message).
Diagnostics Key: the text to be encoded in a QR code. The resulting QR code is shown to the BATM when triggering a BATM self-test. This may be left blank during initial setup.
VPN Required (deprecated): a secure VPN tunnel is required for this Terminal to connect to CAS.
Auto Restart: when enabled, this will trigger the BATM to automatically reboot when the Internet has been unavailable for an hour. It will only restart a maximum of 6 times - then give up.

Use Hardcoded Blacklist Addresses: when enabled, destination wallets presented by a customer are scanned against a hardcoded blacklist for fraudulent or other verified malicious actors.
We recommend you use a Scoring Provider instead of this older tool.
Allow Balance Check: permit your customers to check their coin balances at the BATM.
a BUY Rate Source must be configured & live for the balance to be shown.
Don't Accept Cash If You Don't Have Enough Supply: stop a BUY if there’s insufficient coin in your hot wallet. “Supply” does not include fiat balances, only coin balances (BTC, ETH, etc).
If the transaction fails, you may always opt to send the coin manually to the customer.
depending on your BUY strategy, you may choose to disable this option.
Allow Receipt Delivery: allow electronic receipt delivery from the confirmation screen.
No
Always send to email and SMS automatically.
On demand email.
On demand SMS.
On demand email or SMS.

Enable wallet backups in the event the wallet fails to arrive.
Allow Voice Call: when using SMS authentication, the code may fail to be received by your customer.
Enable this option to permit your customer to request a voice call with that verification code.
Voice calls are a paid service & charges will be applied to your account.
QR Code Sticker Detection: this option detects a QR code sticker attack. Setup a notification policy if this attack is active and/or common in your deployment area.
Show Exchange Price Chart Screensaver: displays a price chart if you use an Exchange in your Crypto Settings BUY.
Private Administration: reduces the admin screen size/profile when administering the BATM models with larger screens (BATMThree/BATMFour).
Hide redeem button when sell is not possible: in some situations, you may still accept redemptions even when SELL transactions are not possible (2-way BATMs only).
Ignore Transaction Failures: do not report transaction failures to the onsite customer. This might be implemented when a standby Operator is monitoring all transactions & is manually competing the transactions.
Cash Fraud Detection: when equipped with door sensors, the BATM will reject any attempted transactions while a vault sensor is triggered (door is open) and this setting is enabled.
Enable CashBox Video Recording: record cashbox servicing (useful when your cash is handled by a third-party (e.g. armored-car service). See: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ESD/pages/2856189993
Customer can cancel transaction: after cancelling, the customer will have to contact you for a cash refund, but this option permits the customer to cancel the transaction despite having inserted cash.
Disable Door Sensor: check this option if you’re having detection issues. You must reboot the BATM after disabling the option (and thus re-enabling the door sensor).
Skip Privacy Notice: don’t show the “Privacy Notice” normally displayed prior to requesting AML/KYC required documents (during a transaction).
Show Marketing Agreement Screen: when enabled, will show the contents of the Custom String:
NOTE: the agreement screen shows after the transaction has completed.
Skip Asking for Marketing Agreement E-mail: when checked/enabled, the BATM won’t request the customer’s email (for marketing). Useful when the email is already known/set.
Blur Detection Limit: (default=3) set this to change the number of times the BATM requests a rescan of “blurry” documents presented during KYC verification. Zero (“0”) = turn off this feature.
Withdraw Configuration:
Terminals that can dispense cash may authenticate customers using either a QR code or via OTP code. Choose the permitted method(s):
Withdraw using QR code (printed sell ticket or delivered as an SMS)
Withdraw using phone number
Withdraw using QR code or phone number
Banknote Labels
When configured in your Organization, banknote labels allow you to gain provisional credit for cash on hand in Terminals assigned the label. This is specifically used for Bankline support. Assign the label to this Terminal where appropriate, and the banknotes are then further marked in Banknote History.
