Hello there, guys and girls.
I'd like to post here a couple of questions to you about the inner workings of Equitrac, so if anyone can help me with these, please give me some insight:
- Magnetic Stripe Card Authentication
The prospective customer we're trying to sell the solution wants his students to use their already existing cards to authenticate.
I've been told that Equitrac only uses the last four digits on the card's magnetic stripe to authenticate, but I'd like to confirm that and, if it is true, if there's any way of programming that.
The trouble is that the student's cards double as ATM cards so we can't change them in any way - we must use them as-is to authenticate the students. But I doubt that we can guarantee that those last 4 digits will always be different for every student, specially when the total users of ATM machines is in the order of the bilion users and four digits only give us 10.000 possible combinations.
Help please?
- Receipt Printing
When using the Inepro loader, am I stuck with the receipt printer inside the loader? Or can I, in any way, program Equitrac to redirect the receipts to an existing printer - probably even using the Follow-You feature to give the student his receipt on an existing machine? That would be very nice.
Thanks in advance!
