Before You Start Using VP3320

The VP3320 is a mobile device for reading ICC (“chip”) cards. The VP3320 is designed to operate in conjunction with certified third-party payment software and compatible host devices such as Bluetooth- or USB- equipped tablets and smartphones. Before connecting the VP3320to the host device:

1. Install and activate the software application service according to the instructions provided by your payment application service and software provider.
2. Connect the VP3320 to the host mobile device through via Bluetooth or a micro-USB cable.

Bluetooth Pairing Instructions

In addition to the following instructions, see the section on iOS Connectivity for more information on using an iPad or iPhone in conjunction with the VP3320.

1. Enable the Bluetooth device search function on the host device (smart phone or tablet).
2. Make sure the VP3320 is charged or connected to a power source via USB.
   • When connected to a power source, the VP3320 automatically activates Bluetooth.
3. When not connected to a power source, press the VP3320’s Bluetooth function button to activate Bluetooth. The button is located on the bottom of the case.
4. Find a Bluetooth device named IDT####on the host smart phone or tablet and select Pair(#### is the last four digits of the device’s serial number; for example, IDT1701).
5. Enter the password for pairing. The default password is 654321.
6. Follow the payment transaction instructions provided by a compatible payment application maker to complete a transaction.

The VP3320 will remain connected via Bluetooth to the host device indefinitely when powered via the USB cable. If the unit is operating on battery power, it will go to sleep after 30 seconds of idling to extend battery life. To perform a transaction again, press the Bluetooth function button to re-establish the Bluetooth connection.

When connecting to an iOS device, please install a compatible payment application and follow the instructions provided by that application’s maker. See iOS Connectivity: BLE and VP3320 below for more information.

Battery Charging Instructions

The VP3320 is powered by a lithium-ion polymer battery and is delivered in a partially charged state. Be sure to fully charge the VP3320 before using it for the first time. Allow four to six hours for the initial charge.

Warning: Do not use “fast chargers” with VP3600 readers. Only use a standard USB to micro USB cable to charge the unit. An LED battery indicator displays the current battery charging status.

VP3320 LED and Sound State Indicators

The VP3320 uses the following LEDs and sounds to indicate various statuses, including power management, Bluetooth, transactions, and security.

iOS Connectivity: BLE and VP3320

The VP3320 uses Bluetooth 4.2, also known as Bluetooth BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).Unlike previous versions of Bluetooth, BLE does not require users to first pair their devices through the Bluetooth Settings in Apple iOS. If a payment application provider has enabled BLE scanning in their application, Apple iOS scans and locates all BLE devices in range to automatically connect with the VP3320.

It is critical to note that if the VP3320 is paired via the iOS Settings page, it will display as a connected device but not function with a payment app.

Unlike other operating systems that can detect or specify a BLE device by its MAC address, Apple does NOT allow users to specify a BLE device by MAC address for security reasons. Instead, after a device is selected by its “friendly” name (see the next paragraph), the Apple iOS calculates a unique identifier to allow any that device to make further connections directly.

The VP3320 has a default friendly name of IDT + the last four digits of the device’s serial number (for example, IDT1701). This is the default name the ID TECH Universal SDK uses to connect to the first VP3320 it encounters if no other friendly name is set in the SDK, or when the iOS-generated device identifier is not provided. See links given near the end of this document for information about the Universal SDK.

Note: The Universal SDK is primarily of interest to developers. If an application provider or POS software partner has already provided software to use with the VP3320, you do not need to obtain the SDK.

24-Hour Device Reboot

For Software Developers: Software Development Support

By virtue of its EMV L2 kernel, VP3320 is designed to be compatible with a wide range of third party payment applications. ID TECH offers a Universal SDK (available for iOS, Android, or Windows) to enable rapid application development using VP3320as the target device. The languages supported include Objective C (on iOS), Java (on Android), and C# (on Windows). The Universal SDK includes rich, powerful libraries that make sending commands to the VP3320 comparatively easy while greatly facilitating debugging and event handling.

To obtain the Universal SDK free of charge, visit ID TECH’s VP3320 product page and select the version of the SDK that applies to your desired host platform (that is to say, Android, iOS, Linux, MacOS, or Windows).

Normally, development of applications that take advantage of VP3320’s capabilities can be done in a high-level language like C# or Java (using convenience objects and data structures defined in the Universal SDK), obviating the need to send byte commands directly. Nevertheless, it is possible to communicate with the device at a low level if necessary. For a command reference for VP3320, request the NEO Interface Developers Guide (IDG), P/N 80139403-001. This document includes not only low level (firmware) commands but error codes, response codes, and information on various default settings.

Demo App

The Universal SDK comes with a rich, fully featured demo app that allows users to run the VP3320 in USB mode.Visit the VP3320 product page to download the Universal SDK Demo app as a standalone executable, separate from the SDK;the full SDK is not required to use the demo.

Be sure to check out the Universal Demo QuickStart Guide for more detailed instructions about using the Universal SDK Demo app.

Using the demo application

Follow the steps below to run the Universal SDK Demo app on Windows:

1. Plug the VP3320 into the host device with a USB-to-micro-USB cable (not included).
2. Double-click the UniversalSDKDemo.exe file and allow a few seconds for the main window to appear (see illustration below).
   

The Universal SDK Demo app displays VP3320’s available commands in a command tree, as shown above.
