3.5 MSR-RS232 Interface
The reader uses MSR-RS232 interface to emulate MSR message to the POS
terminal. The POS terminal sees this data as standard track data read off the
cards magnetic stripe. Functionality of MSR-RS232 with standard magnetic
stripe cards is preserved.
This interface is intended for POS terminals with separate MSR-RS232 that
plugs into POS terminal.
The advantage of this interface option is that it leaves the existing MSR free
and requires no integration effort.
