Ingenico 6500 User’s Guide 109
Chapter 11
IBMEFT Download
11.1 Prerequisites
The prerequisites are:
The ability to accept downloaded files and store on system.
A download utility (IBMEFT or NCREFT - IBM EFT uses an IBM protocol for
downloading, and NCR uses an NCR protocol for downloading).
A POS system that supports IBMEFTDL, NCREFTDL, or equivalent functionality,
as determined by your project manager.
Note: IBMEFTDL is an Ingenico download utility that runs on the store controller
or server. It downloads data through the ECR to the Ingenico 6500 using
the IBMEFT protocol.
NCREFTDL is supported and managed directly by NCR for NCR customers.
11.2 Preparation
Ensure equipment is functional and in the right place:
Ensure store network is operational
Ensure each cash register is functional and connected to the network
Ensure store controller has the ability to manage all download files and interface
with each ECR
Ensure that each Ingenico 6500 terminal is connected to an ECR
Ensure that the application levels are the same in all Ingenico 6500 terminals
It is a good idea to download to a small number of terminals first.
11.3 Timing
To perform a download on an RS-232 Type A communication running at:
19200 bps, it takes approximately 25 minutes
9600 bps, it takes approximately 40 minutes
