Normally, the MAC MASTER KEY contains only one part. How-
ever, some keys may contain multiple parts. If this is the case,
separate individuals will hold the parts. If your key has multiple
parts you must answer the question “ANOTHER KEY PART?”, with
a YES until all parts are entered.
The CHECK DIGIT that appears after all parts of the MAC MAS-
TER KEY have been entered is similar to the checksum that is
used to verify that the data programmed into a memory device
such as an EPROM is correct. The CHECK DIGIT can be verified
by doing a RECEIPT PRINTER TEST from the DIAGNOSTICS
Menu and comparing the MAC MASTER KEY CHECK DIGIT on
the printout to the original receipt printout from the initial terminal
setup. If the CHECK DIGIT is different from the original, and the
terminal is not operating correctly, the MAC MASTER KEY is cor-
rupt and you should contact your service organization for assis-
tance.

ONDITIONS
:
If the MAC MASTER KEY is not entered correctly, no message
traffic can take place, so be sure to enter the key accurately. If your
second entry of the key does not match the first entry, you will be
warned and allowed to start over with the first entry.
To enter a digit 0-9, simply press the
key that has the desired digit, and a
‘*’ will appear. To enter a Hex charac-
ter (A through F), first press and hold
down the <CTRL> key. While holding
down the <CTRL> key, press the
numbered key (1-6) that corresponds
to the character you want to enter, as
listed in the table on-screen (1=A,
2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=E, 6=F). A ‘*’ char-
acter will appear. Release the
<CTRL> key. Repeat for each char-
acter in the key. Press the
<CHANGE> key to clear the entry and
start over. Press the <LEFT ARROW>
key to back up and erase a character.
You must enter the key sequence
TWICE for each KEY BLOCK: after
the second entry, you will be prompted
to enter a second key part. In most
instances you will answer NO to this
prompt, but in some cases a second
sequence of characters may need to
be entered (this requirement is pro-
cessor-specific). quirement is proces-
sor-specific).
