2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ITL products can be used for a wide range of different machines and different
4
applications such as gaming, amusement, vending, kiosk, retail or ticketing. These
machines might have various different requirements to a cash handling device.

In order being capable and compatible to these requirements ITL products support
many standard communication protocols like SSP, ccTalk, MDB, etc. Furthermore ITL
products provide various hardware interfaces like open collector, RS232 and USB for an
easy integration.

This guide is an overview of the possibilities how to integrate ITL products into a cash
handling application.

3.1 SSP SETUP OPTIONS

Smiley Secure Protocol (SSP) is a serial communication protocol designed by Innovative

5
Technology LTD to address problems historically experienced by cash handling systems
in gaming machines. Problems such as acceptor swapping, reprogramming acceptors
and line tapping.

Since its first release in May 1998 the SSP protocol has developed and expanded to
include the functionality offered by the latest generation of cash handling devices. The
interface uses a master slave communication model, the host machine is the master
and the devices (Note Validator, SMART Hopper, SMART Payout) are the slaves. The
devices will respond to commands sent from the host machine using a bi-directional
serial transmission. Please refer to product documentation and GA138 (eSSP
Specification) for full explanations on SSP.

The following section describes the options how to connect ITL payin and payout
devices into a SSP host machine using available cables and interfaces.

Table 1 – Content Table ITL products SSP SETUP OPTION USB 01

Power Requirements
This setup option requires a stable 12VDC / 3A power supply for only the SMART Payout according to the
product specification. Please refer to the SMART Payout Manual Set GA860 for full details of SMART Payout’s
power requirements.
Please check the power requirements of your host machine and other peripherals to dimension a proper power
environment for your system setup.

Cautions
It is very important that the cashbox chassis of the SMART Payout is bonded to earth, as lack of proper
bonding can cause communication issues and failures. The earth bond on a SMART Payout should be made to
any of the 8 holes in the side of the cashbox and be bonded to mains earth, typically through the Power
Supply Unit. The resistance between the cashbox and the Earth pin on the mains plug should be less than 0.7
ohms.

Power Requirements
This setup option requires a stable 24VDC / 6,5A power supply for only the SMART Hopper according to the
product specification. Please refer to the SMART Hopper Manual Set GAxxx for full details of SMART Hopper’s
power requirements.
Please check the power requirements of your host machine and other peripherals to dimension a proper power
environment for your system setup.

Cautions
It is very important that the base plate of the SMART Hopper is bonded to earth, as lack of proper bonding
can cause communication issues and failures. The earth bond on a SMART Hopper should be made to the
intended connection on the base plate right next to the USB connector and be bonded to mains earth, typically
through the Power Supply Unit. The resistance between the base plate and the Earth pin on the mains plug
should be less than 0.7 ohms.
