Master Card

Master has two major purposes: (1) To initialize the setting in the iBonus Terminal and Display unit and (2) to allocate unique Member Card ID's. Please see Master Card Menu of the Administration section for operation.

(1) The Member Card ID (4 bytes) for Member identification, Company Code (2 bytes) for Company identification of a Member Card, and the maximum transaction value (default 80,000.00) are assigned using a Master Card supplied by the factory. Member Card will not be able to operate on the Terminal if their Company Code are different.

(2) Each Master Card is capable of issuing 100 to 200 unique Member Card ID's in sequence. For example, a Master Card can assign a range of Member ID from 1000004550 to 1000004650. With this Master Card, new Member Card can be issued from any Terminal. Lost Master Card will not be replaced.

Member Card ID is normally used as a unique identification of each Member, but some companies may prefer to use their existing Member ID nomenclature. The existing Member ID can be entered through Terminals and will be mapped into the Member Card ID system in the iBonusServer.
