. 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 and
from the ATM. The SPED option (described next) is required to take advantage of MAC-
ing.

UPPORT
. The newest ATM EPROM upgrade, along with
Software 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 required 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 des-
ignated DATAPAK intermediaries (in the Canadian market region), who in turn provide connec-
tivity to the appropriate transaction processor. DATAPAK 3000 connectivity is typically 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.
