IBM United States Announcement 207-094 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1 Description

IBM SurePOS ACE V6 includes all the functions previously announced in V5, as well as the following new functions:

• Complex Password Management ACE V6 has been modified to help retailers meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) for access control. This allows the retailer to address stricter password security requirements. The options included in this product can also help address the PCI DSS requirements. The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls.

• Enhanced Check MICR Operator Guidance This new function allows for more validation of MICR data from a check. It also allows the retailer to configure the number of MICR reads to be attempted. In addition, it gives additional guidance to the operator when the MICR data cannot be successfully processed from the 4610 MICR reader. These new functions provide retailers with more information when trying to decide whether or not a check should be taken at the cash register.

• Cashier Birth Date Support The cashier's birth date is now stored in the system and their information is used when they try to sell age restricted items, such as alcohol. The system will allow the retailer to check to confirm that the selling cashier is old enough to sell the item. This provides the retailer the ability to use the system to assist in complying with regulations regarding the sale of restricted items. In addition, overrides of cashier age verification will be viewable so a store can use it to help determine if there is a potential compliance issue.

• Price Override for Reduced Price on Rainchecks This provides the store a way to give customers the sale price for an item when a customer brings in a raincheck which contains a sale price for that item after the sale is over. The customer is able to get the sale price on the item, and the store has a consistent way to not only redeem rain check items, but to also track the frequency of the rain checks being redeemed.

• Extension of Daylight Savings Time (DST) in 2007 This function helps retailers update their systems for the new DST dates.

• Image Both Sides of Check This captures an image of both the front and back of the check using a model TI-9 4610 printer. The ability to provide an image of both sides of a check gives the retailer the ability to have a complete electronic version of the check.

• ACE Enablement of SI Virtual Sessions on Backup Controller When SI is being used in conjunction with ACE, the virtual sessions are automatically transferred from the failing controller to the backup controller. This helps provide less disruption to retailers.

• Local Suspend/Retrieve ACE V6 provides support for transaction suspend and retrieve files when the File Server Controller is unavailable.

• Suspend/Retrieve File Size This item adds the capability to alter the Suspend/Retrieve Keyed Index file size with a new Personalization option. With this new option, users can customize the file size for Suspend/Retrieve Keyed Index files to support a larger number of suspend/retrieves in the store.

ACE EPS V6 includes all the functions previously announced in V5 and the following new

IBM United States Announcement 207-094 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2 functions:

• Activate Value Cards after Tender This adds an optional flag for the merchant. It allows the merchant to select whether they want value cards to be sent to the host for activation or reload during the sales transaction, or wait until after the final transaction tender has been approved. This feature helps retailers reduce the opportunity for fraud by controlling activation of the gift card until the tender is approved.

• Print Value Card Receipt This provides the ability to print out a separate activation receipt, as well as a value card receipt on a value card sale. The activation receipt allows the customer to see the value card has been activated.

• Add Support for Pay By Touch on VeriFone Omni 7000 PIN Pad The Pay By Touch (PBT®) system provides customers with electronic wallet capabilities using authentication with biometrics. This enhancement adds PBT support for the VeriFone Omni 7000 PIN pad.

• Add Support for Hypercomm L4200 and L4250 PIN Pads ACE EPS V6 now supports the Hypercomm L4200 and the L4250 PIN pads. This provides the retailer with additional PIN pad choices.

• Add Support for VeriFone MX870 PIN Pads The VeriFone model MX870 PIN pad is supported by ACE EPS V6. This provides the retailer additional PIN pad choices.

• TeleCheck Electronic Check Acceptance (ECA) and TeleCheck CashIt! Service The Buypass Host Interface has been enhanced to support check transactions to FDC's TeleCheck services. The TeleCheck services supported include ECA and CashIt!. ECA offers the convenience of electronic check deposits. It also provides check authorization if electronic check deposit cannot be accomplished. CashIt! offers the capability of authorizing the cashing of a check via the ACE Tender Cashing function.

Note: IBM provides no representation or warranty of third party products.

Ordering information

Charge metric Server A server is a computer system that executes requested procedures, commands, or applications to one or more user or client devices. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for each server regardless of the number of processors and partitions in the server on which the program runs or for each server managed by the program. Where "blade" technology is employed, each "blade" is considered a separate server. Client device

IBM United States Announcement 207-094 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 8 A client device is a computer system that requests the execution of a set of commands, procedures, or applications from another computer system that is typically referred to as a server. Multiple client devices may share access to a common server. A client device generally has some processing capability or is programmable to allow a user to do work. Examples include, but are not limited to, notebook computers, desktop computers, desk side computers, technical workstations, appliances, personal digital assistants, automated teller machines, point-of-sale terminals, tills and cash registers, and kiosks.

Retail Store Solutions — Product Offering Basic License: To order a base license, specify program number 5697-N80 for ACE or 5697-N86 for ACE EPS, and the appropriate distribution medium feature number. The registration feature number for the one year or three year Software Maintenance product must be ordered when ordering the base license. Also, specify the OTC feature number from the table below in the quantity desired (maximum quantity of 250). Those users current on the SWM for previous versions, can obtain V6, without cost, by ordering 5697-N80 and specifying the media code only.

Retail Store Solutions — Support Offering All distributed software licenses include Software Maintenance (Software Subscription and Technical Support) for a period of 12 months from the date of acquisition, providing a streamlined way to acquire IBM software and assure technical support coverage for all licenses. Extending coverage for a total of three years from date of acquisition may be elected. While your Software Maintenance is in effect, IBM provides you assistance for your routine, short duration installation and usage (how-to) questions, and code-related questions. IBM provides assistance via telephone and, if available, electronic access, only to your information systems (IS) technical support personnel during the normal business hours (published prime shift hours) of your IBM support center. (This assistance is not available to your end users.) IBM provides Severity 1 assistance 24 hours a day, every day of the year. For additional details, consult your IBM Software Support Guide at

http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/guides/handbook.html

Software Maintenance does not include assistance for the design and development of applications, your use of programs in other than their specified operating environment, or failures caused by products for which IBM is not responsible under this agreement. In an effort to provide additional detail to our customers, below is more information regarding the Software Maintenance offering for SurePOS ACE V6. This offering provides access to the customer support Web site, voice access to support personnel, support for configuration and installation questions, maximum two-hour initial response during prime shift and four hours during off shift (off shift is defined as the hours outside of prime shift), and 24 x 7 coverage for "store down" situations.

• Technical support provides assistance electronically or via telephone during prime shift. Prime shift means 8 am to 5 pm in the local time zone, where service is available, Monday through Friday (excluding national holidays). This support: – Determines problem cause for configuration, installation, and defect-type problems – Identifies the source of the problem for unmodified SurePOS ACE V6 code using problem analysis – Provides information for existing code corrections, restrictions, or known bypasses for reported problems – Provides circumventions (when available) – Supplies a reasonable amount of assistance for product interpretation and understanding • Corrective Service Diskettes (CSDs) provide maintenance for various fixes of the base product and releases, documentation, and online updates. • SurePOS ACE V6 updates include improvements, extensions, and other changes to SurePOS ACE V6 programs, which IBM determines to be logical improvements, upgrades, versions, or new releases.

IBM United States Announcement 207-094 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 9 though there is no charge, must be ordered using the registration feature number. If SW Maintenance has expired, then customers wishing to reinstate their SW Maintenance must order the After License product number. The following products are orderable:

• Media — These are the physical media, such as CD-ROMs, that deliver the product code. • License and Software Maintenance 1 and 3 year Registration — This is the product authorization with maintenance to the first/third anniversary date. There is no charge for the first year. • Software Maintenance 1 and 3 Year Renewal to Anniversary Date — This is the maintenance renewal for one year/three year, which applies when a customer renews their existing coverage period prior to the anniversary date at which it expires. • Software Maintenance after License to Anniversary Date — This is for customers who have allowed their Software Maintenance to expire, and later wish to reinstate their Software Maintenance.

When support is purchased, it must be ordered for every installed license of this product. The quantity of the billable feature numbers for support must be equal to the quantity of the billable feature numbers for the product license. Support is not transferable among products. Note that one terminal feature should be ordered for each POS terminal supported by the IBM 4690 OS. Also note that separate controller features must be obtained for each controller utilizing the feature. The features can be enabled using the featurization code provided with the package. It is a violation of IBM's licensing policy to enable functions using the featurization code without ordering the selected functions for a one-time charge. Features are listed below. Some of these charge features require ordering a media feature as well.
