SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE

5.1

Communication Protocols

The NV10 USB validator can use several different communication protocols, including
eSSP, SIO, ccTalk, MDB, Parallel, Binary and Pulse. Use of the MDB protocol requires
the use of an external IF5 interface unit.
Smiley Secure Protocol (SSP) is a secure serial interface specifically designed to
address the problems experienced by cash systems in gaming machines. Problems
such as acceptor swapping, reprogramming acceptors and line tapping are all
addressed.
Encrypted Smiley Secure Protocol (eSSP) is an enhancement of SSP. eSSP uses the
same 16 bit CRC checksums on all packets as SSP, but also uses a Diffie-Hellman key
exchange to allow the host machine and validator to jointly establish a shared secret
key over an insecure communications channel. The encryption algorithm used is AES
with a 128-bit key; this provides a very high level of security.
The recommended communication protocol for the NV10 USB validator is eSSP, as this
provides the highest level of data transfer security. A ccTalk interface protocol is also
available.
For detailed information and the full protocol specifications please read the following
documents, which can be downloaded from the Innovative Technology Ltd website
([Link]):

SSP Interface Specification (ITL Document number GA138)

ITL Bank Note Reader ccTalk Specification (ITL Document number GA966)

Summaries of the NV10 USB validator socket connections for the supported interfaces
are shown below:
WARNING!
Risk of unit damage

Information
Encryption of data strongly
recommended

Do not make any connections to the interface socket

pins marked Do not connect making connections
to these pins could cause severe damage to the unit.

It is recommended that all transactions with the NV10

USB validator be encrypted to prevent commands
being recorded and replayed by an external device. If
this is not possible, then other (mechanical) measures
should be used to prevent physical bus tapping.

When operating in Pulse mode the NV10 USB outputs a number of pulses on Vend 1.
The number of pulses for each channel is different and set to default values within the
dataset. The number of pulses and the pulse duration can be modified using the Bank
Note Validator Currency Manager Software, and a maximum of 16 channels can be
used.
NV10 USB Multi Drop Bus (MDB) Interface:
MDB is a serial bus interface commonly used in electrically controlled vending
machines. This is a 9600 Baud Master Slave system where the NV10 USB validator
is a slave to master controller.
To use the NV10 USB with MDB protocol, an IF5 external interface convertor is
required. The IF5 regulates the power supply and opto-isolates the communication
lines. The NV10 USB validator supports the MDB Protocol Version 1, Level 1.

SSP and eSSP

Smiley Secure Protocol (SSP) is a secure serial interface specifically designed to

address the problems experienced by cash systems in gaming machines. Problems
such as acceptor swapping, reprogramming acceptors and line tapping are all
addressed.
Encrypted Smiley Secure Protocol (eSSP) is an enhancement of SSP. eSSP uses the
same 16 bit CRC checksums on all packets as SSP, but also uses a Diffie-Hellman key
exchange to allow the host machine and validator to jointly establish a shared secret
key over an insecure communications channel. The encryption algorithm used is AES
with a 128-bit key; this provides a very high level of security.
The encryption of the SSP protocol ensures superior protection and reliability of the
data, which is transferred between validator and host machine. The encryption key is
divided into two parts:

The lower 64 bits are fixed and specified by the machine manufacturer allowing
control of which devices are used in their machines.

The higher 64 bits are securely negotiated by the slave and host at power up,
ensuring each machine and each session are using different keys.

The interface uses a master-slave model; the host machine is the master and the
peripherals (note acceptor, coin acceptor or coin hopper) are the slaves. Data transfer
is over a multi-drop bus using clock asynchronous serial transmission with simple
open collector drivers. Each SSP device of a particular type has a unique serial
number; this serial number can be checked by the host on start up and receipt of a
credit event to ensure that the device has not been changed.

Information
200 ms command spacing

When communicating with the NV10 USB validator,

poll commands should be sent at least 200 ms
apart.

ccTalk

This section should be read in conjunction with the full ccTalk specification, which can
be downloaded from the internet ([Link]).
ccTalk is a serial communications protocol in widespread use throughout the money
transaction industry. Peripherals such as coin acceptors, note validators and hoppers
found in a diverse range of automatic payment equipment use ccTalk to communicate
with the host controller.
The protocol uses an asynchronous transfer of character frames in a similar manner to
RS232. The main difference is that it uses a single two-way communication data line
for half-duplex communication rather than separate transmit and receives lines. It
operates at TTL voltages and is multi-drop (peripherals can be connected to a
common bus and are logically separated by a device address) - each peripheral on the
ccTalk bus must have a unique address.
Each communication sequence (a command or request for information) consists of 2
message packets structured in one of the formats detailed below. The first packet will
go from the master device to the slave device and then a reply will be sent from the
slave device to the master device.
Commands can have 3 primary formats:

8 Bit Checksum No Encryption

16 Bit CRC No Encryption
16 Bit CRC BNV Encryption

As it is possible to use the ccTalk protocol without encryption, suitable physical

security should be employed to protect the ccTalk bus.

Information
200 ms command spacing

When communicating with the NV10 USB validator,

Read Buffered Bill events (command 159) should be
sent at least 200 ms apart.

When sending or receiving a value the least significant byte is sent first. So in this
example [0x88] [0x13] [0x00] [0x00] will be sent.
Each type of note is identified by its value and represented using the standard format
outlined above. As an example, the values for Euro notes are:

Escrow Control

The NV10 USB has a single note escrow facility (pin 10) used in Parallel, Pulse and
Binary modes. This allows the Validator to hold onto the note once accepted, and only
stack the note into the cash box when the host machine confirms that the vend
operation has been completed.
If no confirmation of vend is received then the note will be returned to the customer
after 30 seconds (see the escrow timing diagrams below):

Do not wait
more than 30
seconds for
the 2nd vend
confirmation
signal
Inhibit
rejection can
be at any time
during the 30
second
decision period
after
completion of
the vend
If the host machine itself aborts the transaction by setting the corresponding inhibit
input high, the note is returned immediately.
The sequence of operations is as follows:

Pin 10 is held low awaiting note insertion

Note inserted. Validator issues a 100 ms pulse on the appropriate channel
The host machine initiates the vend process
The host machine sets pin 10 high to indicate that it wants the note. If this is
not done within 30 seconds the Validator will return the note
The Validator issues a 100 ms pulse on the appropriate channel after pin 10
going high to indicate final acceptance of the note. If the signal has not been
received within 30 seconds it indicates the customer has forcibly retrieved the
note and the vend will be aborted
The vend process is completed
The host machine sets pin 10 low ready for the next vend operation

Copyright Innovative Technology Ltd 2013

GA00450-4

NV10 USB Manual Set Section 5

23

The host machine can force the return of the note to the customer by setting the
inhibit line high at any time before the end of the 30 second time-out. For channels
above 4 setting all inhibits high will cause a note reject.
In the event of a note being forcibly removed from the mouth of the NV10 USB during
the 30 second interval, the NV10 USB will go out of service for 45 seconds.

SSP Escrow Function

To hold a note in the escrow position when using SSP, the POLL command should be
replaced with the HOLD (0x18) command after NOTE READ > 0 for as long as the
note is to be held in escrow.
A POLL (0x07) command will then accept the note; the REJECT (0x08) command will
return the note to the customer
5.7

Credit Hold Function

This function is only available if the validator is set to operate in Pulse mode.
If the credit hold function is enabled (either by configuration card or BNV Currency
Manager Program), the validator will take the note as normal but then wait until the
escrow line is toggled low/high. It will then give out the number of pulses per note
denomination as set when programmed. After the pulses have been generated, the
validator will then wait for another low/high toggle until the full value of credit pulses
are given.
As an example, with a setting of 4 pulses per banknote, a 5 euro note will give 4
pulses, 5 times. A typical use of this option would be for a pool table with a game
price of 1. You could insert a 5 note and press a button that toggles the escrow line
and releases the pool balls; this would then allow you to play the first game. The
validator holds onto the remaining credits until the game has finished and the button
is pressed again allowing the next game to begin, this continues until all the credits
have been used.
The busy line remains low throughout the whole process and the validator remains
inhibited until all pulses are given.
