What is Supervisor Mode?
What is Supervisor Mode? 1
Supervisor mode is your means of controlling the terminal by

giving you access to a range of menus and options. These allow you
to configure and replenish the terminal as required. For example,
you can do the following:
● Enter and change encryption keys
● Replenish printer and cash supplies
● Print and reset totals.
This manual describes the use of the standard supervisor options
for an Advance NDC application. Your particular environment may
have non-standard supervisor options such as the following:
● The start-up menu may have been customised.
● Additional menus may have been added.
● New functions may have been added to standard menus.
● Options on standard menus may have been customised.
If you are operating a terminal that has been customised in this way,
you should also refer to any supervisor documentation describing
the customisations.
Note: We advise you to use a printer or an electronic journal (EJ) to

keep a permanent record of configuration details and replenishment
actions. For information on how to configure a terminal to keep a
hard copy or electronic log of menus and other displays, see
Chapter 4, “Configure Menu”.
Chapter 2, “Introduction to the Supervisor Menus” introduces the

menus. The following chapters cover each menu in detail:
● Chapter 3, “Replenish Menu”
● Chapter 4, “Configure Menu”
● Chapter 5, “Access Menu”

How to Enter Supervisor Mode
How to Enter Supervisor Mode 1
The manner in which you enter Supervisor mode depends on the

type of terminal you use.
To enter Supervisor mode at a front-access terminal, unlock and lift

Entering at a Front-Access the facia until its supporting stay is fully extended. If the terminal is
Terminal 1
fitted with the Auto-Supervisor facility, the terminal enters
Supervisor mode automatically when you open the facia. If the
terminal does not have the Auto-Supervisor facility, you can access
Supervisor mode by moving the mode switch to Supervisor.
To enter Supervisor mode at a rear-access terminal, unlock and

Entering at a Rear-Access open the rear cabinet door. If the terminal is fitted with the Auto-
Terminal 1
Supervisor facility, the terminal enters Supervisor mode
automatically when you open the door. If the terminal does not
have the Auto-Supervisor facility, you can access Supervisor mode
by moving the mode switch on the operator panel to Supervisor.
The operator interface (at the rear) or the CRT screen (at the front)
What You See When presents you with the Supervisor menus, as well as prompts and
Entering Supervisor Mode 1
messages. The initial menu displayed is the Select menu, unless you
have previously selected the option to go straight into the Replenish
menu or an Exit menu. For details, see “3 INIT ENTRY (Initial
Entry)” on page 5-5. The operator interface is ready for you to select
an option.
If you try to enter Supervisor mode while a transaction is in
progress, there will be a delay while the transaction is completed.
Note: Sideways printing on the receipt is not supported in

Supervisor mode.
On a rear-access terminal, you can choose to work at either the front

Moving Between the Rear or the rear of the terminal, by using the ‘Transfer’ option from the
and Front of the Terminal 1
Select menu. For information on how to select where you want to
work, see Chapter 2, “Introduction to the Supervisor Menus”.
The enhanced operator interface increases security by providing a
complete menu display at the rear of the terminal. You still have the
option to transfer control to the facia interface if you wish.

How to Enter Supervisor Mode
If you need to reset the system, for example after you have installed
Resetting the System 1
a new version of software, we advise you to enter Supervisor mode

before pressing the reset switch on the operator interface. This
enables quick re-entry to Supervisor mode.

Using the Operator Interface at the Rear
Using the Operator Interface at the

Rear 1
The terminal displays prompts and messages in full on the

enhanced operator interface.
When you need to enter data, a data entry prompt is displayed on
the enhanced operator interface. You can enter data using the
operator keypad. The Function Display Keys (FDKs) are used only
for encryption key entry.

Overview 2
In this chapter we introduce the standard options and menus

available from the first Supervisor menu, the Select menu.
You should read this chapter if you are responsible for either setting
up local configuration parameters or the day-to-day management of
the terminal.
Each menu available in Supervisor mode gives you access to a range
of related options, as follows:
● Select Menu - provides access to the other Supervisor menus
● Replenish Menu - contains options for performing day-to-day
terminal management
● Configure Menu - contains options for setting local
configuration parameters
● Access Menu - contains security options.
Note: There may be other menus in addition to those shown in this

manual, or some menus may have different options. Consult any
third-party guides to customised Supervisor functions that are
installed on your terminal.

Note: The ‘90 MISC FUNCS’ option gives access to the smart card
functions listed in the “90 MISC FUNCS” section. These are
associated with the ‘EMV/CAM2 Exits for APTRA Advance NDC’
product. For more information, refer to the EMV Integrated Circuit
Card (ICC) Reference Manual.
The Replenish option gives access to the Replenish menu, which

4 REPLENISH 2
you use for maintaining the terminal supplies and the counters
relating to them. For details, see Chapter 3, “Replenish Menu”.
The Configure option gives access to the Configure menu, once you
5 CONFIGURE 2
have entered the correct password if it is set.

The Configure menu contains options for setting local configuration
parameters. You will normally only need to use it for setting local
configuration parameters when the terminal is first installed. For
details, see Chapter 4, “Configure Menu”.
The Access option gives access to the Access menu, once you have
6 ACCESS entered the correct password if it is set. You use the Access menu for
2
setting how the terminal will operate in Supervisor mode, and for
entering encryption keys.
The Access menu also controls password protection to Level 2
Supervisor menus. For details, see Chapter 5, “Access Menu”.

Select Menu
The Diagnostic option gives access to the APTRA Self-Service

7 DIAGNOSTIC 2
Support System Application. The System Application provides

access to functions that are used to perform configuration and
maintenance on an SST.
The following functions are available within the System
Application:
● Maintenance
● Device Self Tests
● Device Status List
● Device Servicing
● Self Service Configuration
● Save NT Information to Disk
● Transfer System Application Interface
● System Shutdown.
Not all of the functions provided by the System Application are
available to every user. Some functions are reserved for use by
Customer Engineers (CE) only.
For details of the functions, refer to the APTRA Self-Service Support,
System Application User Guide.
The Transfer option enables you to switch control of Supervisor

8 TRANSFER functions between the operator and facia interfaces. You can specify
2
which panel should be active whenever you enter Supervisor mode,

by selecting the INIT DISPLY option from the Access menu.
Selecting Transfer from the Operator Interface 2
If you select the transfer option from the operator interface, control
is passed to the facia interface.
To obtain the Select menu:
1 The prompt ENTER PASSWORD appears.
2 Type ‘2468’ and press Enter.
3 The message FACIA appears on the operator display once you

have entered the correct password.
Selecting Transfer from the Facia Interface 2
If you select the Transfer option from the facia interface, control is
passed to the operator interface and the Supervisor screen is
displayed on the operator display.

Select Menu
The Exit option takes you out of Supervisor mode. When you select
9 EXIT 2
this option the following occur:

● The current operator display is blanked
● The keyboard is disabled
● When using the rear interface, the supply screen (‘C03’ or ‘003’)
is displayed on the facia display
● If present, the Bunch Note Acceptor (BNA) and the Cheque
Processing Module (CPM) have their device fitness initialised
ready for use by the transaction.
‘C03’ is a reserved screen and is displayed when the terminal is in
Supervisor mode. If screen ‘C03’ is not downloaded, the display
defaults to screen ‘003’, which is a customised screen.
If the mode switch is set to Normal, the terminal will go either in-
service or out-of-service. This depends on the ‘Supply and Ready’
configuration option selected in the Configuration Parameters or
Enhanced Configuration Parameters load message, and the mode
from which Supervisor was entered. For details of the
Configuration/Enhanced Configuration Parameters Load message,
refer to the APTRA Advance NDC, Reference Manual.
If the mode switch is set to Supervisor, the terminal will remain in
Supervisor mode, with the keyboards disabled and the display
blanked, until the mode switch is returned to the Normal position.
If you exit Supervisor mode with the safe door open, the cash
dispenser will not subsequently operate. Unless the circumstances
described below apply, you must go back into Supervisor mode
with the safe door closed and clear the faults using the standard
replenishment functions. For more information, refer to the APTRA
Advance NDC, Reference Manual.
Safe Door Opened During a Transaction 2
Advance NDC supports Enhanced Configuration Option 33, the

Simulate Supervisor Mode Entry/Exit option, for the cash dispenser
only in terminals fitted with a rocker switch for Supervisor mode.
The default for this option is on. If it is set, and the safe door is
opened during a transaction, the transaction will fail with a message
being sent to Central to indicate the fatal condition caused by the
safe door being open.
Once the terminal returns to the idle state and the door is closed,
Supervisor Entry/Exit is simulated to ensure that the cash dispenser
is cleared and in a good state to allow further transaction.
If the safe door is opened prior to a transaction taking place (for
example, it is left open after Supervisor activity) it is only when an

Select Menu
attempt is made to use the cash dispenser that the terminal will
generate a fatal condition.
If Enhanced Configuration Option 33 is set to zero (that is, simulate
Supervisor Exit/Entry) and the above scenarios occur, the cash
dispenser will not operate, but remain in a fatal condition. To rectify
this, you must close the safe door, go back into Supervisor mode,
and clear the faults using the standard replenishment functions. For
more information, refer to the APTRA Advance NDC, Reference
Manual.
The best advice is:
Always close the safe door before you exit Supervisor mode and
ensure that when opening the safe door, the terminal is in an idle
state.
Note: A Clear Cash operation is performed on exit from

Supervisor mode, to clear any bills which may be in the cash
dispenser transport mechanism.
The Fault Display option lets you view the fault display on request
26 FAULT DISPLAY 2
using either the front or rear interface when in Supervisor mode. For
details of the Fault Display, see “Device Fault Reporting” on page
7-11.
The Misc Funcs option gives access to the Miscellaneous Functions

90 MISC FUNCS menu, which you can use to journal the Smart Card application or
2
SCRW hardware version numbers, if present.

The Miscellaneous Functions menu contains the smart card related
options shown in the following figure:

line drive and a backup file on the system disk. The diskette must be
a 1.44 MB HD disk with at least 1.4 MB free space. The EJ data is also
copied to a backup file named ‘ejrcpy.log’ on the hard disk.
The first time the INIT EJRNL command completes successfully, the
backup file is created in the c:\ssds\apps directory. The backup file is
overwritten with a copy of the latest log file each time the INIT
EJRNL command completes successfully.
If you are copying large files, there may be a few minutes delay
while the data is being copied.
The EJ data is copied to a file named ‘ejnnnnnn.xxx’ on the diskette.
The ‘nnnnnn’ is the six-digit machine number of the terminal. If the
machine number is not present or it is shorter than six characters,
then space characters will be indicated with a ‘_’ in the filename.

Replenish Menu
Replenish Menu
The ‘xxx’ is a number which cycles from ‘000’ to ‘999’. It gives the
sequence number of the file and is incremented each time a
successful INIT EJRNL command is processed. This number is held
in persistent storage. A cold start of the system, that is, if the pmdata
file has been lost or corrupted, causes the file sequence number to be
reset to ‘000’.
All journalling is suspended while copying is in progress. On
successful completion, the device status is cleared, a security trace
message is written at the beginning of the new file and logging
restarts.
The following acknowledgement message is displayed on
successful completion:
EJ LOG COPIED OK
This message is also logged to the next EJ log file.

If the diskette is either write-protected, not installed, or has
insufficient space, or the EJ backup file is invalid, or any I/O error
has occurred, one of the following error messages is displayed:
● EJ BACKUP INVALID
● COPY TO FLEX FAILED
After a restart of the SST, a power failure during copying will be

treated as a command failure and the INIT EJRNL command will
have to be repeated. If the EJ is not fatal the command will have
terminated before the power failure.
If the EJ is not active, this command is rejected and the error
message ‘EJ NOT PRESENT’ is displayed.
If the command is successful, the EJ data in ejdata.log is initialised
similar to the EJ being activated.
EJDATA.LOG File 3
While electronic journalling is enabled, journal data is automatically

written to the ejdata.log file on the fixed disk. The file has a
maximum size of 1.4 MB and once this is reached the device goes
fatal and no more journal data can be written.
Any data generated while the EJ file is full will be lost. Once the
copying process has been completed successfully, device status is
restored and logging resumes with a newly initialised ejdata.log file.
The INIT EJRNL function should not be performed during EJ
upload. As the EJ upload function clears the ejdata.log file of journal
data, uploaded data will not be available to copy to diskette or back
up. Similarly, data copied by an INIT EJRNL command will not be
available for upload to the host.

Recovering from a Power Failure 3
Once configured, the EJ will recover automatically from a power

failure, unless the log was full at the time of failure. If a power
failure occurs while copying is in progress, you must remove the
disk from the off-line drive before the machine attempts to read
from the drive. The EJ may have written to the disk before the
internal disk number has been incremented. This should be checked
by inserting another disk into the drive and re-issuing the INIT
EJRNL command. You should take note if no unique numbers have
occurred.
See “Local Electronic Journal Log” on page 7-7 for more general
background information including details on viewing the
ejnnnnnn.xxx file on a PC. See “30 SET JRNL (Set Electronic
Journal)” on page 4-15 for details of activating the EJ.

When Advance NDC is loaded onto the terminal, no Supervisor

password or access information is present. Therefore, no password
request is made when you select the Configure menu for the first
time. For security reasons, you should establish a password
immediately. This will consist of four numeric digits. For details of
how to do this, see Chapter 5, “Access Menu”.
When you select this option on subsequent occasions, the following
prompt is displayed:
ENTER PASSWORD -
To enter the password:

1 Enter the current password. Each digit is echoed as an asterisk
‘*’.
2 Press Enter.
The Configure menu is displayed if the password is correct.
You are allowed up to five attempts to enter the password from the
facia, or one attempt from the operator interface, before the Select
menu is redisplayed.
Once the maximum number of attempts has been used, a security
trace message is recorded on the local journal log, either
electronically or as hard copy. For details, see “Security Trace
Messages” on page 7-4.

● When Advance NDC is first installed
● Whenever persistent storage is cleared
When Advance NDC is first installed, the default setting for the
journal is Paper, or None if no physical journal printer is present. If
persistent storage is cleared, the journal mode reverts to the default
setting.
To set the electronic journal, complete the following steps:
The prompt SET JOURNAL OPTION- appears.
2 Enter one digit, either 1 or 2, as follows, and press Enter.
1 - activate the EJ in the absence of the configured physical

journal printer. (The physical device is not connected or it is in a
fatal state. For more information, see “Error Conditions”.)
Note: If you enable the EJ alone, it cannot be deactivated by

a Supervisor mode command for security reasons.
2- activate the EJ to operate concurrently with the journal

printer. (The physical printer is configured and in a good state.)
This option automatically activates the hardcopy backup.
Note: If you enable the EJ in dual mode, you can disable it

as described in “33 DISBL JRNL (Disable Journal Option)”
on page 4-17.
To cancel the operation and return to the Configure menu, press the
Cancel key.
If you enter 1 and the command is accepted, data normally printed

on the journal printer is logged to the system disk instead.
If you enter 2 and the command is accepted, data is both printed on

In Advance NDC, the journal mode setting is held in persistent
storage, and so is used on power failure recovery.
If the physical journal fails while dual mode is active, the hardcopy
backup starts automatically.

Error Conditions 4
The SET JRNL options will fail in the following conditions:

● If you select the function while the EJ is active, the error message
‘COMMAND NOT ALLOWED’ will be displayed.
You can verify the device status by entering the DISP CONFIG
command. The PRNT CONFIG command will be successful at
the rear interface if the electronic journal is active.
● If you press Enter without entering 1 or 2, the error message

‘NOT ENOUGH DIGITS’ is displayed. If you enter any digit other
than 1 or 2, the error message ‘INVALID VALUE’ is displayed.
● If you enter 1 and the physical journal printer is configured and
in a good state, the command will be rejected with a ‘JRNL
PRNTR PRESENT’ message.
● If you enter 2 and the physical journal printer is not either
disconnected or not in a good state, the message ‘DEVICE NOT
PRESENT’ will be displayed.
● If an error occurs during electronic journal activation, the likely
cause for this is that there is insufficient disk space available to
build the electronic journal log file on the system disk drive. On
a request for first activation of the electronic journal, an attempt
is made to create a log file, with file size dependent on the
required data. If the available disk space is insufficient, the
journal will remain inactive and the terminal will return the
error message ‘DISK I/O ERROR’.
For more information about the error messages, see Appendix B,
If the SET JRNL command succeeds, but the electronic journal
subsequently returns an error, check the device status by issuing the
DISP SPPLY command from the Replenish menu. For details of
using the INIT EJRNL command when the journal is full, see

Access menu, and how to use them.
Use the Access menu options to set or change passwords, to enter
encryption keys or to specify which menu is to appear when you
enter Supervisor mode.
If you are responsible for the initial setting-up of the terminal, we
recommend that you read this chapter.

Access Menu
Access Menu
Access Menu 5
When Advance NDC is loaded onto the terminal, no Supervisor

password or access information is present. Therefore no password
request is made when you select the Access menu for the first time.
For security reasons, you should establish a password immediately.
This will consist of four numeric digits. For details of how to do this,
see “2 SET PASSWRD (Set Password)” on page 5-4.
When you select this option on subsequent occasions, the following
prompt is displayed:
ENTER PASSWORD -
To enter the password, complete the following steps:

1 Enter the current password. Each digit is echoed as an asterisk
‘*’.
2 Press Enter.
The Access menu is displayed if the password is correct.
You are allowed up to five attempts to enter the password from the
facia, or one attempt from the operator interface, before the Select
menu is redisplayed.
Once the maximum number of attempts has been used, a security
trace message is recorded on the local journal log, either
electronically or as hard copy. See the passage “Security Trace
Messages” on page 7-4 for details.
The following figure shows the options available from the standard
Access menu.

Overview
Overview 6
In this chapter we provide step-by-step instructions on using the

Supervisor menus to set local configuration and terminal access
parameters when Advance NDC is first installed on the SST. NCR
recommends that you read this chapter if you are responsible for
setting up the SST.
If the Supervisor functionality of your terminal has been
customised, there may be other steps in addition to those shown in
this section, or certain menus may differ. If you are operating a
terminal that has been customised in this way, refer to any
supervisor documentation or third-party guides describing the
customisations that are installed on your SST. Enhancing Supervisor
functionality using Advance NDC is described in the APTRA
Advance NDC, Developer’s Guide.
Note: We assume that a field engineer has carried out the

installation of the terminal before you. You do not have to configure
the hardware, as all NCR SSTs are self-configuring. However, you
do have to enter the product class, for example 5675.
For details of configuring the terminal for RS232 and MISCIF, and
for calibrating the touch screen, refer to the installation manual for
your terminal.
For details of setting the thickness of notes, refer to the Operator’s
Manual for your terminal.

Performing an Initial Configuration
Performing an Initial Configuration 6
This section contains step-by-step instructions on how to set local

configuration and terminal access parameters, at the facia or the
enhanced operator interface, prior to switching the terminal to In-
Service mode for the first time.
How you switch to Supervisor mode depends on the terminal type
you have. Front replenishing terminals have a mode switch which
can be activated automatically whenever the terminal’s facia is lifted
and the door opened for replenishment. Rear replenishing
terminals have a mode switch as part of the rear operator interface
or a mode switch activated by the door opening for replenishment.
The individual menu options from which you choose are described
in detail in Chapter 4, “Configure Menu” and Chapter 5, “Access
Menu”. Details of how to replenish your terminal’s supplies are
given in Chapter 3, “Replenish Menu”.
Note: If you do not set local configuration details and switch on

the terminal in Normal Mode, a power-up status message is sent
to Central and the terminal assumes all default configuration
values.
For information about configuring a domain name server (DNS) for

Additional TCP/IP, or configuring communications for protocols supported by
Communications the PC Communications Module (PCCM), refer to “Configuring
Configuration 6 Communications” in the APTRA Advance NDC, Developer’s Guide.

Overview
Overview 7
In this chapter we provide details of the errors and exceptions that

can be reported by the terminal to Central and the local device
status reporting available to you at the terminal. We describe the
following topics:
● Local journal log
● Local electronic journal (EJ) log
● Local device fault status reporting
● Handling device failures.
When a device fails or runs out of media, the following occur:
● The device fault is displayed on the enhanced operator interface,
while in Out of Service, In Service, Offline and Suspend modes
● A status message for the appropriate device is sent to Central
● The status message is logged in the journal
● An entry is added to the System Application’s Device Status
List.
The terminal responds to all subsequent Terminal Commands and
Transaction Reply Commands from Central by reporting the error
condition until the condition has been cleared.

Local Journal Log
Local Journal Log 7
The paper or electronic journal log provides a local log of all

significant cardholder and supervisor activity. As well as recording
information from Central, the terminal adds supplementary
information to the log. In this section, we give you details of the
following messages:
● Device status messages
● Security trace messages
● Presenter error message
● Deposit envelope length error message
● Communications trace
● Card capture message
● SST off-line/on-line messages.
Note: For simplicity, ‘the journal’ is used to mean the journal

printer or the electronic journal (EJ). Thus the phrase ‘printed on the
journal’ means printing on the journal printer, or writing to the EJ.
Whenever an exception status message is sent to Central, a single

Device Status Messages 7
line message is printed on the journal. This, together with the

preceding transaction message sent from Central, gives a complete
record of the transaction. The format of the message is:
*TTTT*M*D*SSS----
where
TTTT is the transaction serial number
M is the message type:
1 - unsolicited
2 - solicited
D is the device code
SSS---- is the device status
Field SSS---- has the following format:

AA---A, M-BB, R-CC----C
where
AA---A is the transaction/device status represented as a

string of decimal digits.

Local Journal Log
BB is the first byte of diagnostic status represented as two

decimal digits
CC----C contains supplies status information represented as

a string of decimal digits
If any message from Central is rejected, the following message is

printed on the journal:
*TTTT*2*
If any message from Central is rejected when you have selected the
specific command reject option, the following message is printed on
the journal:
*TTTT*2**GNN*
where
G is the category
NN is the reject error number
TTTT is spaces if no transaction reply has been received.
For further information about status messages, see the APTRA

A typical example of a journal log printout is shown in the

Local Journal Log
Illegal activity by authorised personnel can be traced by analysing

Security Trace Messages 7
the security trace messages on the journal. All significant supervisor

activity is recorded with a security trace number and date and time.
A list of security trace messages with default text is provided in the
APTRA Advance NDC, Reference Manual. You can change the text in
these messages by either downloading new reserved screens or
editing RESRVD.DEF.
The line preceding the security trace message contains a header and
is formatted as follows:
*NNN*XX/XX/XX*HH.MM*
where
NNN is the security trace number
XX/XX/XX is the date, in the format specified by the Enhanced

Configuration Parameters Date Option
HH is the hour
MM is the minute.
You can reverse Day and Month by using the date format enhanced
configuration option. See the passage “5 DATE/TIME” on page 4-8
for details on setting the terminal date and time.
The header starts at print column 1 and the security trace message
starts on column 6 of the next line. For example:
*123*02/29/00*23.59*
TOP CASSETTE REMOVED
The security trace number increments by one for each message. If

there is an interruption in this sequence, this indicates that there has
been illegal tampering with the journal in an attempt to disguise
other illegal activity.
The number is held in non-volatile memory and is set to 000 at
installation time.
Note: If a power failure occurs during a notes dispense operation,

the security trace message ‘T76’ is sent to the journal on power-up.
For screen details, refer to the “Reserved Screens” appendix in the
APTRA Advance NDC, Reference Manual.
If a Presenter Error or Retract occurs, this means that notes have

where xxxxxx is the cardholder account number read from the card.
If the account number cannot be read from the cardholder’s card, or
no match is available in the FITs, the following message is printed
on the journal:

Local Electronic Journal Log
Local Electronic Journal Log 7
This passage supplements the information supplied in the “Local

Journal Log” section earlier in this chapter. The electronic journal
log emulates the printed journal. All data normally recorded on the
journal printer is written to the electronic journal log file on the
terminal’s system disk. This file must:
● Have a reserved file space of 1.44 MB
● NOT be accessed or edited in any way.
Although the information captured by the electronic log is as
described in the earlier passage on the printed journal, the content
of the unprocessed electronic journal log file is different. It is a
stream of uncompressed ASCII characters, including control
characters, which is written to the hard disk as a sequential DOS file.
In order to use the information stored in the log file, you must first
copy the file from the hard disk to a diskette in the off-line drive.
You do this by issuing the INIT EJRNL command from the
Replenish menu. This releases log space on the hard disk and
creates a file ‘ejnnnnnn.xxx’ (where nnnnnn is the six-digit machine
number and xxx is an incrementing number between 000 and 999).
To access the information in the ‘ejnnnnnn.xxx’ file on your diskette,
you need to either use an editor to read the file manually or write a
utility to convert the new electronic journal file output to the format
of your choice.
For details of purging the EJ log file before installing Advance NDC,
see section “40 INIT EJRNL (Initialise Electronic Journal)” on page
3-16.
When the EJ log is 90% full and 100% full, an unsolicited message is
reported.

Journal Printer Backup Mode
Journal Printer Backup Mode 7
There is an option available that allows for journal printer backup to

be used. This means that journalling can continue even when the
journal printer is in a fatal condition. For details of how to set the
option, refer to the section on Enhanced Configuration Parameters
in the APTRA Advance NDC, Reference Manual.
If the option is set and the journal printer enters a fatal state,
journalling continues using the journal backup mode and the
system disk resident buffer file. The journalling includes the text of
the last command sent to the journal printer before it went fatal.
Journal backup continues until the journal printer becomes
operational again; this would typically be due to someone fixing the
problem in Supervisor mode. At this point, all the data that has been
logged since the journal printer entered a fatal state is copied to the
journal printer. This is known as ‘reprinting’. When the hardcopy
backup log is 100% full, an unsolicited message is reported.
While the data is being reprinted, any additional log data that is
received in journal backup mode is first stored in the journal backup
log buffer and then reprinted. Once reprinting is complete, journal
backup mode ceases and the journal printer becomes operational
again.
For security reasons, reprinting from the journal backup log to the
journal printer is suspended if the SST goes off-line, but continues as
soon as communications have been re-established.
Before the data is copied to the journal printer, it sends a test
sequence to the printer to make sure it is working correctly. If it is
not working, an error message is displayed. If it is working, the
following message is sent to the journal printer to indicate that this
is the start of reprinting:
**** COMMENCING REPRINT ****
When reprinting is complete, the following message is sent to the

journal printer:
**** REPRINT COMPLETED OK ****

Reprint Sequence Example 7
An example of a reprint sequence on the journal log after the journal

has failed due to paper out is shown below:

The following explanation leads you through the reprint sequence

example:
Security

071 Start of reprint operation. All data logged, since the

journal printer went fatal, is copied to the journal printer.
066 Journal printer is out of paper. Journal printer backup

begins.
065 The top currency cassette has been removed. Trace

message is buffered (Journal is out of paper).
067 The top currency cassette has been inserted.
075 Reprint operation begins again.

Security
Action
Trace No.
068 The top currency cassette has been removed.
069 The top currency cassette has been inserted.
070 Operator enters Supervisor mode to replace paper.
072 Operator exits Supervisor mode after replacing paper.
073 The reprint operation is halted due to a print-head jam.
074 Operator re-enters Supervisor mode to clear print-head

jam using the Device Status List.
076 Operator exits Supervisor mode after clearing print-head

jam.
077 Reprint operation is complete.
Once the journal paper has been replaced and Supervisor mode is
exited, the journal printer backup log is reprinted. As shown in the
above example, the security trace number sequence is not in order.
The COMMENCING REPRINT message always appears at the start
of the reprint sequence. In this example, the reprint is temporarily
halted when a print-head jam occurs.
During a power failure/restart, the journal printer backup log is

Power Failure/Restart 7
checked for any data that was logged before the system restart and
that has not been printed. If data is present and the journal printer is
not in a fatal state, the data is printed before the power
failure/restart journal message is printed. The following conditions
are applied:
● If the system is restarted with no journal printer and the EJ is
used, any journal data stored during a journal printer backup
operation will not be copied to the EJ log before recommencing
journal operation.
● If a journal printer backup is active and the pmdata file has been
deleted or lost, all records are reprinted. This occurs whether or
not the records have been previously reprinted.
● If a journal printer backup is active and the pmdata file indicates
that there are records to be reprinted, but the backup file is
missing, it is assumed that an update build has been applied. In
this case the pmdata file count is cleared and the REPRINT
HALTED message is printed.

Device Fault Reporting
Device Fault Reporting 7
Advance NDC continually checks the status of each device in the

terminal and reports faults on the enhanced operator interface,
while in any of the following modes:
● Out of Service
● In Service
● Off-line
● Suspend.
We refer to displaying device faults on the enhanced operator
interface, while not in Supervisor mode, as ‘Fault Display’. The
Fault Display identifies the total number of device faults and cycles
through fault information for each device requiring attention.
This provides you with the necessary information to anticipate and
prevent media shortages and device failures at an early stage.
When there are no outstanding faults, the terminal is said to be
‘healthy’.
If any faults arise which cannot be cleared by an operator, then all
existing faults will be replaced with the text “Please Call A Service
Engineer”.

Handling Device Failures
Handling Device Failures 7
If a device fails or runs out of media, an appropriate status message

is sent to Central and local indications are given. The terminal
continues to report errors to Central until the condition is dealt with
locally.

In this passage we provide details of the following:

● Device exception recovery
● Capture of media on power-up.
To clear device faults, you need to access the APTRA Self-Service

Device Exception Support System Application. The System Application provides
Recovery 7
functions that are used to perform configuration and maintenance
on an SST. For some devices, you also have to perform Supervisor
functions after clearing the fault.
The Diagnostic option on the Select menu provides access to the
System Application. You use the Device Status List in the System
Application to obtain more information on the device states that
require attention.
For details of using the Device Status List to clear device faults, refer
to the APTRA Self-Service Support, System Application User Guide.
The device faults which require you to perform Supervisor
functions in the Replenish menu after clearing the state are as

required. The option digits are numbered from 0-15 (maximum 16)
where option digit 0 is entered first and option digit 15 is entered
last. If you enter a value of ‘0’ or no digit, the default operation
occurs.
In Advance NDC, the option digits settings are automatically saved
to persistent storage, and hence are used on power failure recovery.
An example of how to use this additional feature to customise your

Option Digit 0 Reporting Levels
Option Digit 0 Reporting Levels A
Option digit 0 controls reporting of all supervisor menu number

and/or menu item selections in status messages sent to Central. For
details, see “Option Digits Table” on page A-2.
When reporting encryption key entry from the Key Entry
supervisor menu, you can use value 1 to send the same messages as
are sent for keys entered through the Access menu. Alternatively,
you can use values 2 and 3 to specify additional levels of reporting.
The following sections explain key entry reporting in more detail.
If you set option digit 0 to a value of 2, the following will be sent:

Messages for Values 2 or 3 A
● A message when option '25' KEY ENTRY on the Access menu is

selected
● Reports of all items selected from the Key Entry menu,
including option '9' CHANGE KEY ENTRY MODE.
To include reporting down to component selection level, you can set
option digit 0 to a value of 3.
For example, for value 3 the following message reports all possible
levels of item selection:
12fs000fsfsfsR3250101
in which the last seven numbers mean the following:
3 = Access menu
25 = Key Entry menu
01 = Enter B
01 = Enter Part 1
When option digit 0 is set to 2 or 3, the messages report only that a

selection to enter a key has been made. No message will be sent to
report that a key has been written as there is no such option on the
Key Entry menu.
When option digit 0 is set to 1, messages corresponding to those for

Messages for Value 1 A
the Enter/Write A, B and V options on the Access menu will be sent.

This results in the following:
● Two messages will be sent and journalled when keys are
entered and written using the Key Entry menu

Option Digits
Option Digit 0 Reporting Levels
● No messages will be sent when ‘25’ KEY ENTRY is selected

from the Access menu, or option 9 from the Key Entry menu.
For example, if the key entry mode is 1 (single-length without XOR)
and you select ‘0’ ENTER KEY A on the Key Entry menu, a message
relating to the Access menu (3) and option ‘8’ ENTER KEY A (08) on
the Access menu will be sent to Central.
When the key is written to the encryptor, a second message relating
to the Access menu (3) and option '9’ WRITE KEY A (09) will be sent
to Central.
In any mode using XOR, the message reporting that the key has
been written will be sent when part 1 or part 2 of the key has been
entered.

Option Digits
Option Digits Example
Option Digits Example A
On the Configure Menu, select ‘6’ MSG MODE to customise the

message mode with a string of option digits that allow additional
local parameters to be set, which cannot be included in download
options. The option digits are identified by the order in which they
are entered at the terminal.
At the Message mode prompt:
ENTER MSG MODE -
enter ‘1’ followed by the option values you want. When your
selection is complete, press the Enter key to return to the Configure
menu. If there is a reserved option digit between your selections,
enter 0 for it.
If you enter ‘1’ at the prompt and press Enter without selecting any
additional options, all option digits default to a value of 0.
Functions are currently defined for option digits 0, 2 to 8 and 12 to
13. The remaining option digits are reserved for future use.
For example, to configure your terminal for the following:
● Report only items selected from the Select menu to Central (the
default)
● Not to retract notes once timer 05 has expired
● Disable the beeper while notes are being presented
● Disable the beeper while the depository is waiting for an
envelope
● Set default values for the remaining digits,
you enter the following values:
ENTER MSG MODE - 1005
and press the Enter key. In this example the entries are as follows:

Option Digits
Option
Value Description
1 In Advance NDC the Message mode is always 1.
0 Option digit 0, value 0 (the default) to report items selected

from the Select menu only. (See page A-2.)
0 Option digit 1 is reserved so 0 is entered.
5 Option digit 2, value 5 to:

— Not retract notes
— Disable the beeper while notes are being presented
— Disable the beeper while the depository is waiting for an
envelope. (See page A-9.)
As the default value is required for all option digits after option
digit 2, no further entries are needed.
Before you start entering option digit values, ensure you have the
Selecting the Values to correct sequence you require, as follows:
Enter A
1 Check which functions are associated with which option digit.

(See “Option Digits Table” starting on page A-2.)
2 Look at each digit in turn and note down which option you
want to select and whether it is an action or default setting.
3 Check your action and default settings in the tables for option
combinations. The option value to the left of the option
combinations selects the functions you require. (See “Option
Digit Combinations” starting on page A-9.)
4 Note down a zero for any reserved option digit.
5 Enter your option digit selection at the prompt.
