Remarks on program function

The data for connection of a Card reader terminal from type Payter payment engine can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed.

This solution uses 3rd-party dll which need registration. It supports positive and negative change of the chip contents through Oscar’s normal EFT interface (authorizeData with positive or negative amount) and allows retrieval of the current chip balance (readCard). Application changes might be necessary to allow usage of readCard
