Technical Documentation Update

A significant update of the document database at Calypso Technical Support website is now available.
It includes new documents, updated documents, and deprecated documents.

New documents:

• Requirements for terminals:

Three layers have been defined to facilitate integration into the terminal and ensure interoperability between layers allowing the modules to evolve independently of each other. The following documents are now the reference for developers who want to develop the different components of a terminal: 

• The Reader Layer requirements ( 200422-ReaderLayerRequirements v1) provides a consistent and uniform interface, regardless of the reader provider (and even type of portable object), ensuring that all readers provide a minimal common set of functionalities
• The Calypso Layer requirements ( 200423-CalypsoLayerRequirements v1) contains all of the Calypso complexity and Calypso settings.
• The Ticketing Layer requirements ( 200430-TicketingLayerRequirements v1) includes all the other components of the system like the Data Model processing, business rules management.

  • Guidelines, ref. 150212-CCTA-Guidelines v1.4.
    This document presents the infrastructure that is used by CNA in granting a label after an audit of a terminal able to modify contracts in the Hoplink application. This audit mainly targets the interoperability features of Hoplink and ensures that a vending terminal will not interfere with contracts issued by other Hoplink operators.

    This document enumerates the tests done during a Hoplink terminal audit, and questions related to the audited terminal.
