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.

Short counters are reset periodically (as needed) typically during cash servicing.

• Buy Counters Short: displays the amount of cash deposited into the BATM since it was last cleared.

• Sell Counters Short: displays the amount of cash issued from the BATM since it was last cleared.

• Maintenance Counters Short: displays the amount of cash deposited into the BATM during maintenance since it was last cleared.

General Settings

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.

• see: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/l/cp/p0fGS16W

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.

• See: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/l/cp/1WjVvgcF

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.

• See: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AYABzg

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: 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).

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: CashBox Video Recording

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).

• Withdraw using QR code (printed sell ticket or delivered as an SMS)
