How to Deploy
3.1 Cable Connection
A functionality highlight for Converter is its connection with the third-party reader (configured in CCM > Site Data) to make the payment by inserting an available card. You should follow the physical wiring diagram below to connect the Converter with the third-party reader (take ESD reader as an example) and the machine.
8-pin and 2-pin cables will be output from the ESD reader. Connect the 8-pin and 2-pin cables with the Converter, then connect the MX 3.0 cable of the Converter with the machine.

3.2 Server Setup
3.2.1 Create Vendor Company
First, as a server owner admin or distributor admin, you can go to Universal Server => Company Management => Create Company to create a vendor company. The newly created company will be laid out in the list with a Login button via which you can log in to your vendor portal for further deployment from location, room, staff, CCM, etc., perspectives.
3.2.2 Create Location and Room
Please navigate to Location Management of Vendor Portal to create the location and room where the product will be deployed. For improved management, you can also create the Branch and Cluster to which this product will belong.
3.2.3 Create Staff
Please navigate to Vendor Portal => User Management => Staff to create the staff accounts that will assist in managing the products.
3.2.4 Create CCM Profile
In CCM Profile Builder, you can build up/edit a profile that contains machine-related and site-related data for the reader to communicate with the machines.
Site Data
Click on “Site Data” and all fields to configure will be displayed. Please define the fields one by one; you can refer to Table 3-1 below for descriptions of the fields.
The Location ID and Site Code defined herein should be the same as the Location ID and Site Code that you created on Vendor Portal.
