. ATM Software Release 4.1 implements support for the
Message Authentication Code (MAC) data encryption protocol. This capability is typically
referred to as “MAC-ing”. This feature provides increased protection for message traffic to

MAC-ing.

. The newest ATM EPROM upgrade, along with Soft-
ware Release 4.1, support an optional feature of Triton Systems ATMs known as the Secure
PIN Entry Device, or SPED. SPED is an encryption system that offers additional protection
of the customer PIN during entry at the ATM keypad. SPED is an option, and is only re-
quired if MAC-ing support is desired.

UPPORT
. ATM Software Release 4.1 is
DATAPAK 3000 protocol-compliant. This new capability enables the ATM to interface with
designated DATAPAK intermediaries (in the Canadian market region), who in turn provide
connectivity to the appropriate transaction processor. DATAPAK 3000 connectivity is typi-
cally faster and more cost-effective than a direct dial-up connection between the ATM and
the transaction processor. This feature is only available for ATMs operating in Canada.

Dispenser’s EPROM chip, which is located on the Memory Module. The EPROM version re-
quired is SD02.01 or higher.
