v  Major Functions

YDC system is a terminal control system that can work only when connected to the central application system (Central), as illustrated in F8-2:

Figure 8-2: Terminal communication with the Central

YDC carries out transaction processing, maintenance operation (supervisor), and ATM status monitoring.

l      Transaction processing: Complete transactions with the cardholder.

l      Maintenance operation: Provide maintenance menu for the ATM operators to perform daily administration, like replenishing cash, print paper, and print ribbon, viewing the balance and configuring the local parameters.

l      ATM status monitoring: Monitor the status of the ATM and reports exceptions both locally and remotely.

Apart from the above basic functions, you can configure the application parameters to customize the transaction status, screen display, and the card types that will be accepted.

v  Supported Application Protocols

YDC supports the following two application protocols: NCR Direct Connect (NDC) and Diebold Direct Connect (DDC). This means that the YDC terminal can work in networks that support NDC and DDC without the need to change any configuration parameters in Central. It can also send messages to Central in NDC and DDC formats.

v  Supported Protocols

The YDC terminal can have access to networks that use the following protocols:

l      X.25

l      SNA

l      TCP/IP
