Safety instructions
WARNING: INTENDEDUSE
The VTAP100-PAC-W are boxed products for end-users. Although the enclosure may be
opened when the device is not connected, components mounted on the VTAP PCB are not
user-serviceable.
WARNING: ESD PRECAUTIONS
If the enclosure is opened to access the PCB, we recommend careful handling of
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESDs) .
WARNING: POWERSUPPLY
Use a standard micro-USB cable to connect the VTAP100-PAC-W model to a PC or
alternatively power the unit by connecting it to an access controller, using the Wiegand
connector cable. If the VTAP100 is being powered through its Wiegand connector, you can
still make an additional USB data connection to a PC, provided that the PC is already
powered before the connection is made.
EMC emissions and immunity certifications are only valid when using the VTAP100-PAC-W
with the supplied cable.

Consult the VTAP Configuration Guide for more about custom configuration and
maintenance features for any VTAP100, including how to update the firmware on your
VTAP100-PAC-W, when a new release is available.

2 How the VTAP100 works
With the VTAP100-PAC-W connected to a PC, simply tap your smartphone against the
VTAP. Your mobile NFC pass will be read and data sent to the connected PC. The extra
facility with the VTAP100-PAC-W model only, is that it can alternatively be connected to an
access controller, using the Wiegand connector supplied.
Of course, the data can only be read if your phone contains a mobile NFC pass, which has
been issued in connection with the Merchant ID(s)/Collector ID(s) and ECC key(s) that are
known to the VTAP. The unit comes with default values, so that you can test Test using
factory settings before you begin customising any settings.
When the VTAP100-PAC-W is connected to a computer it appears as a generic mass storage
device (like a memory stick). To configure your VTAP, you simply edit or create text files.
These will be read automatically, and control the operation of the VTAP. There is information
in Start reading your own passes to take the first steps to configure your VTAP for use. The
VTAP100-PAC-W must be configured over USB from a PC, before it will send pass data over
the Wiegand interface. After being configured it does not need to be connected to a PC.
Consult the VTAP Configuration Guide for more detail.
By default the VTAP is fully upgradable in the field. However, the VTAP can be locked in
software or hardware, before deploying the unit, so that operation is no longer easily
changed.

2.1 Test using factory settings
Before anyone changes the configuration from its default, you can confirm that the unit is
working.
These steps demonstrate that the hardware can detect and interact with an OriginPass demo
mobile NFC pass, which is ready to work with the default configuration of your VTAP100.
1. Obtain an OriginPass from Dot Origin by visiting https://originpass.com/VTAP/ and add it
to Google or Apple Wallet. (You will require a username and password - contact
[email protected] to get these.)
2. Connect the VTAP100 to your PC, using a USB cable.
3. Open a text editor, such as Windows Notepad.
4. When you tap the OriginPass on the VTAP100:
lPass contents will be displayed in the open text editor, through keyboard/barcode
emulation.
lThe feedback LEDs on the VTAP100 PCB will flash green.
lYour smartphone may signal with a buzz or beep.
Note: Some Android phones will only interact if their screen is on, although it does not
need to be unlocked. You may need to enable NFC in the settings for the smartphone.
Note: If the pass detected does not match the key and ID on the VTAP, or is moved away
too quickly to be read, the pass contents displayed may be an 8 digit random hex string,
such as '08E22AC1', different on each presentation. OriginPass contents will be a
consistent string, such as '3~ffymeK9f_mziYtA6~53999301628695~Valued'. Any
separator, such as '~' or '|', will depend on your keyboard language settings. (See VTAP
Commands Reference Guide for option to ignore random UIDs if needed.)
Note: If local security settings prevent or limit the use of removable storage devices, or
the connection of additional keyboards, an administrator may need to alter those
permissions.
2.2 Start reading your own passes
If you navigate to the VTAP in the computer's file system, it will appear as an attached mass
storage device and list the files contained, including the main config.txt file.
To read any mobile NFC pass, you will need to provide your pass reading parameters in the
config.txt file. This means a collector ID or merchant ID and ECC keys. These allow you to
read and decrypt pass data that is held by your users, on their smartphones.

This first time, you will need to connect the VTAP100 to your PC, using a USB cable. (If
needed, you can make changes remotely in future over a virtual COM port or serial port, see
VTAP Serial Interface Guide.)
Step 1: Upload private key file(s) to your VTAP100
1. Ensure these are ECC private key(s), and each is stored in a file with the name
private#.pem, following the .pem format, where # is replaced with a number from 1
to 6, matching the key slot you will save it in. (The demo passes are accessed using the
key in KeySlot 6, so don't overwrite this one unless you are finished with demo passes.)
Note: You cannot use more than 6 key files.
2. Load your keys by copying these files onto your VTAP100, which shows up in the file
system of your PC as a mass storage device.
Note: When you reboot the VTAP100 your key will have been stored in hardware, and
will no longer be listed as a file on the device. You can confirm key file(s) have been
loaded when you Check status in BOOT.TXT. If the key file does not disappear and
there is an error in Boot.txt, check your .pem file as it is likely it did not adhere to the
standard - perhaps it was not an ECC key?

Step 2:Declare Merchant ID(s)/Collector ID(s) in the config.txt file
1. Open the file config.txt in a text editor (such as Windows Notepad). It already
contains parameters for accessing the demo passes, prefixed VAS1 and ST1, both relying
on KeySlot 6. You can overwrite these, or keep them in addition to your own pass
reading parameters.
2. Add your pass reading parameters in the config.txt file to access up to 6 Apple
VAS and up to 6 Google Smart Tap IDs, and identify the keys to be used in each case.
Note: Although the VTAP100 supports multiple IDs, Apple expect most users will only
use one. Multiple collector IDs are not supported by Android, which means you cannot
request more than one Collector ID from Google. Only one should be live at any one
time. Multiple IDs is an advanced feature that should be used with care. The VAS# and
ST# numbers define the order in which IDs will be requested from Apple or Android
phones respectively. The lowest numbered ID will be requested first, then continuing in
ascending numeric order.
Put each parameter on a new line. Order of parameters does not matter to the
VTAP100, but could help other people who need to edit the file. Start any comment
lines in the config.txt file, that the VTAP100 should ignore, with a semicolon. Each
parameter should only appear once - if it accidentally appears more than once then only
the last instance will take effect.
Example:Settings in config.txt to interact with both
Apple VASand Google Smart Tap mobile passes
!VTAPconfig

ST1KeySlot=2
ST1KeyVersion=1
;Thissaysusethekeyaddedasfile'private2.pem'atkeyversion1
;toreadanddecryptanypassconnectedtoyourcollectorID
;onanAndroidphone
3. Save the amended config.txt file and these changes will take effect immediately. (A small
number of changes to the config.txt file require a reboot to take effect, for instance
to the status of the virtual COM port, but these are highlighted in later sections).

Note: If a VAS#KeySlot parameter is omitted, or set to 0, then all available keys will be
automatically tried to choose the right key. If the data received by the VTAP100 cannot be
decrypted, the Apple iphone will register a pass read, but the data will not be output.
Note: If an ST#KeySlot parameter is omitted, or set to 0, then authentication will be
omitted and decryption will not be performed. In this case, Google Smart Tap data will be
received and sent on by the VTAP100, only if the pass does not require authentication by
the terminal.
