3.3 Device Profiles
Figure 20. Device Profiles Screen
Device Profiles are configuration files that control the operation of the associated Unitec payment devices
on site. A single profile should be set up and downloaded to all devices at a site if they are to operate in the
same manner. If operation will vary by device (for example, one unit is on an in-bay automatic and the other
on a conveyor), one or more additional device profiles will need to be set up. These additional profiles can
be configured from scratch or created by copying an existing profile and changing the required parameters.
There are several screens of configuration information associated with each entry unit’s device profile.
These screens are listed in the left frame. To navigate through the screens, select the next or previous
buttons at the bottom of the page. Once all required changes are made, select the save button at the
bottom of the screen to save changes before exiting the device profile screens. The parameters that can be
configured through the device profile vary by device type as described in the following sections.
You may also navigate through the configuration pages by selecting the desired screen from the list on the
left side. When following this process however, make sure you select the save button to save your changes
before selecting another screen from the list.
To add a new profile, select the device from the drop down menu below the table then click the Add New
Profile button. To configure the existing profile, click the edit button next to the profile name.
The first screen in the device profile (shown below) is used to name the profile and set some general
operating characteristics.
