BV wasn't found!

Issue

The bill validator software did not recognize bill validator hardware connected to the kiosk. This can be caused by one of the following:

  • COM port in use by a different software module
  • Bill Validator not connected to the kiosk
  • No power to the Bill Validator
  • Wrong USB2COM driver

Resolution

  • check if another software is running that might be connected to the bill validator. (Booking, kiosk, Configurator,...) a COM connection creates a direct connection between the software and the hardware making the hardware unavailable for any other software.
  • Check all of the cables and connection to ensure the device has power and in connected to the appropriate COM port. 
  • Reinstall the USB2COM driver according to the requirements of your USB2COM dongle.
