To configure the connection to the card reader service provider (IDC), set the Logical service (IDC) parameter.

This parameter has different values for different types of ATMs. According to the XFS specifications, this parameter value is stored in the registry. For earlier versions of XFS, it is located in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOSA/XFS_ROOT\LOGICAL_SERVICES\Logical Service registry key.

For later versions of XFS, this value is stored in the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\XFS\LOGICAL_SERVICES\LS registry key.

The LOGICAL_SERVICES hive contains keys for each service provider (card reader, PIN entry pad, receipt printer, etc.).

The information of interest is the logical name of the card reader service provider ("class" = "IDC"). In the example given in the figure, the logical name is "MyCardReader". This is the value that should be indicated in ATM Event Capture utility.

Logical name of the service provider of card-reader by default is:

  • For ATMs made by NCR, "IDCardUnit1".
  • For ATMs made by Wincor, "IDC30" ("IDC", in older versions).
  • For ATMs made by Diebold, «DBD_MotoCardRdr».

After ATM Event Capture utility captures an event from the ATM card reader, it sends information about this event to ATM-Intellect Pro, which can overlay captions on the image. To do this, configure the connection to the ATM-Intellect Pro (see Configuring the connection with ATM-Intellect Pro or Axxon Next).
