3. MEI EBDS Configuration
3.1 General
After installing SiteKiosk and connecting the payment device to your computer, you can now configure the Payment Module with the SiteKiosk configuration tool. Select the entry Bill Acceptor: MEI EBDS from the list of available devices then click the Customize button to configure and activate the device. The icon next to the device turns from red to green after the device has been activated.
3.2 Connection
Select the COM port the device uses and click on Test. If the Payment Module fails to recognize the bill acceptor, please make sure that you have connected everything correctly and that the device is supplied with power. If the device is still not working, please contact us.
3.3 Bill Value
Check the boxes to activate only those bills that you want allow. The device will then only accept the bills you specified.

You can define your own bill values. Bill values also let you set up an exchange rate between foreign currencies and the specified main currency.

Edit MEI_EBDS.xml:
If the currency you want to choose is not available or you want to specify a different image for the bill payment dialog in SiteKiosk, then you can add this by editing the file ..\SiteKiosk\SiteCash\MEI_EBDS.xml. Open the file with an editor like Notepad and after the existing pattern at the bottom of the list you can add new entries or edit existing ones.
3.4 Escrow Mode
The payment device supports intermediary checkout, which is required, for example, by vending machines. Once you have set up the device, all bills a user has inserted before cancelling the payment process will be returned.
