Dyna Family Passcode Lock Demo Instructions

This demo shows how to use the **Passcode Lock** feature on compatible Dyna Family devices via Human Interface Device (HID) commands. This function is essential for securing your device, ensuring only authorized users can operate it.

Note: You must have a Dyna Family device with Passcode/Device Lock Firmware connected to your computer to run this demonstration.

1. Device Connection and Management

Start by ensuring your device is ready for command execution:

Click the Open button (Open) to connect to the MagTek device. The connection status must indicate **Connected**.
Use the Close button (Close) to terminate the device connection when done.
The Log Data area tracks all communication. Use the Clear button to reset the log for a new test.
The **Reset Device** button in the Command Builder is a quick way to restart the device, which may be necessary after locking or unlocking.

2. Using the Passcode Lock Command Builder

Use the **Passcode Lock Options** section to construct the specific hexadecimal command you need:

Select the desired action from the dropdown menu (e.g., Change Device Lock State, Unlock Device).
**Dynamic Fields** will appear based on your selection. For lock/unlock commands, you must enter the current Passcode. For changing the Passcode, you need both the Current and New Passcodes.
Click the Execute Command button. The application will convert your inputs into the required HID command format.
The generated command will be displayed in the **Command Data** box and automatically sent to the connected device.

3. Executing Core Passcode Functions

The **default passcode** for a factory-set device is 4321. You can change this passcode at any time, provided you know the current code.

Understand the key functions available through the Command Builder:

Lock Device: Sends the command to immediately lock the device, requiring the correct passcode for any subsequent operations.
Unlock Device: Sends the command to unlock the device, restoring full operational access.
Change Device Lock Passcode: Allows you to securely update the current passcode to a new value. You must know the current passcode to perform this action.
Change Device Lock State: This determines the device's behavior upon startup (e.g., whether it should start in a locked or unlocked state).

4. Monitoring Command Execution

Always review the results of your actions:

After clicking **Execute Command**, the full hexadecimal string appears in the **Generated Command** output and the **Command Data** input box.
Check the Log Data area. The device's response confirms whether the lock, unlock, or change operation was successful. A successful command execution will typically return an acknowledgment from the device.
If the command fails, review the log for any error codes returned by the device.

Securing your payment environment starts with device-level control. This demo provides a direct way to manage access using the built-in security features of Dyna Family devices.
