Semi-automatic configuration of a self-service terminal
Embodiments for providing Semi-Automatic ATM Configuration are generally described herein. In some embodiments, obtaining configuration connection details are obtained. The configuration connection details are used to connect to a configuration server and to configure a self-service terminal (SST).
1. A method, comprising:
providing executable instructions to a processor of a Self-Service Terminal (SST) from a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
obtaining configuration connection details by an input device of the SST, wherein obtaining further includes obtaining, by the input device of the SST, the configuration connection details directly from a second device that is independent of the SST, wherein the input device is a Near Field Communications (NFC) receiver;
identifying a location from the configuration connection details that identifies for the SST a configuration server for obtaining configuration information to configure the SST, wherein the location is external to the SST;
connecting the configuration server at the location to the SST by processing the configuration connection details;
obtaining the configuration information from the configuration server while the SST is connected to the configuration server;
processing the configuration information that configures the SST with the configuration information including configuring the SST for interaction with a local server and an external system and providing by processing the executable instructions a self-configuration of the SST; and
performing transactions on the SST utilizing the configuration information.
2. A method, comprising:
providing executable instructions to a processor of a Self-Service Terminal (SST) from a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
obtaining configuration connection details from media having the configuration connection details at an input device of the SST, wherein obtaining further includes obtaining, by the input device of the SST, the configuration connection details directly from a second device that is independent of the SST, wherein the input device is a Near Field Communications (NFC) receiver;
identifying a location from the configuration connection details that identifies a configuration server for obtaining configuration information to configure the SST, wherein the location is external to the SST;
connecting to the configuration server at the location to the SST by processing the configuration connection details, wherein the configuration server is located at a local bank branch that is local to the SST for obtaining the configuration information;
obtaining the configuration information from the configuration server while the SST is connected to the configuration server;
processing the SST the configuration information on the SST that configures the SST with the configuration information, wherein processing further configuring the SST with the configuration information for interaction with a local server and an external system, and providing by processing the executable instructions a self-configuration of the SST; and
performing transactions on the SST utilizing the configuration information.
3. A Self-Service Terminal (SST), comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions representing application code; and
the application executed by the processor from the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
interacting with a dispenser;
obtaining configuration connection details from media read by an input device of the SST, wherein the input device is a Near Field Communications (NFC) receiver, wherein the input device obtains the configuration connection details directly from a second device that is independent of the SST;
identifying from the configuration connection details a location of a configuration server;
connecting to the configuration server associated with the location by processing using the configuration connection details;
obtaining configuration information from the configuration server while the SST is connected to the configuration server;
processing the configuration information to configure the SST with the configuration information and configure the SST for interaction with a local server and an external system, and provide a self-configuration of the SST by processing the configuration information; and
performing transactions on the SST utilizing the configuration information.
