GAT Vending 6100 BA Operation www.gantner.com HB_GAT-VENDING6100BA--EN_121 37 6 OPERATION  Explained in this chapter are the different operating modes of the GAT Vending 6100 BA and the process required to purchase a product from a vending machine. As there are many different types of vending machine available, a range of operating conditions are possible. Therefore, a standard operation is described here and please also refer to the user manual of the vending machine for more detailed information.    6.1  Communication  For configuration and general operation, the GAT Vending 6100 BA communicates with a server/host computer. To enable communication, the terminal uses certain protocols that are described in separate manuals. For standard operation  of  the  device,  it  is  not  necessary  to  know  the  details  of  these  protocols.  The  GANTNER  developed software package,  GAT DIRECT.Connect,  provides a  convenient  method  for  configuring  and operating the  GAT Vending 6100 BA. Refer to the GAT DIRECT.Connect documentation for more information on this solution.   6.1.1 Online Mode  Online mode is the standard operating mode for the GAT Vending 6100 BA. In online mode, when a data carrier is read the terminal sends the information over the network to the server/host and waits for a response. The server evaluates the information then sends commands and data back to the GAT Vending 6100 BA to control the vending operation.  Master and Slave During online operation, the  GAT  Vending 6100 BA is in master mode and the server/host computer is in slave mode. The GAT Vending 6100 BA periodically asks the host if it needs to switch to master mode (e.g., to upload a configuration to the GAT Vending 6100 BA). If the host changes to master mode, the GAT Vending 6100 BA will change to slave mode. If no commands are received from the host after a certain time, the GAT Vending 6100 BA automatically changes back to master mode.  When the GAT Vending 6100 BA is operating in online mode and communication to the server/host is lost, the GAT Vending  6100  BA  automatically  switches  to  out  of  operation  mode.  In  out  of  operation  mode,  the  terminal  and connected vending machine are not able to be used until communication to the server/host is reestablished.   6.1.2 Online and Emergency Mode  When  the  GAT  Vending  6100  BA  is  operating  in  “online  and  emergency  mode”  and  communication  to  the server/host is lost, the GAT Vending 6100 BA automatically switches from online mode to emergency mode. There are a range of  configurable options  that  control  how the terminal behaves while in emergency mode, and  these allow vending operation to continue while communication is interrupted.   For example, the “Funds” configuration setting allows a temporary account balance to be set for every valid data carrier. When a valid data carrier is read by the GAT Vending 6100 BA while the terminal is in emergency mode, the user  is  able  to  purchase  a  product  and  the  price  is  deducted  from  the  emergency  mode  account.  As  soon  as communication is restored, the GAT Vending 6100 BA returns to the standard online mode of operation and sends the emergency mode transaction data to the host.  Any guest who used the vending machine  during emergency mode will have the cost of the purchase(s) debited from their online account.
GAT Vending 6100 BA Operation  38          HB_GAT-VENDING6100BA--EN_121     www.gantner.com 6.1.3 Offline Mode  In offline mode, the GAT Vending 6100 BA operates autonomously and does not connect to a server/host for data evaluation  and  control.  All  information  required  to  complete  a  vending  transaction,  such  as  the  user’s  account balance, is stored on the data carrier.  Offline mode is only valid for LEGIC data carriers with a GANTNER cash segment.  In offline mode, the terminal reads  the data carrier and displays  the user’s  account balance. The user selects  a product and must present their data carrier again to confirm the selection. The updated account balance is written onto the LEGIC data carrier and displayed on the terminal while the product is being dispensed.
