Hope everyone is well. Today too, like every day, I faced a different and somewhat complex problem at work. Those who are involved in banking technical services or hardware maintenance, know how sensitive every part of an ATM machine is. Today, the main focus of my work was an EPP (Encrypting PIN Pad).
Although it may seem like just a keypad to the common man, in technical terms it is called EPP. It encrypts the customer’s PIN number and sends it to the server, which is a very confidential and sensitive process. This device plays a very important role in ensuring the security of the machine.
This morning, while doing a regular check at a particular booth, I noticed that the EPP of the machine was not working properly. As you may know, if there is any major problem in the EPP, it is quite difficult and time-consuming to repair it. Many times, it becomes completely useless due to sensor or internal memory problems.
After observing the situation, I realized that it would be wiser to replace it than repair it. So without delay, I immediately informed my office and requisitioned a new EPP. The office responded quickly and I was provided with a new EPP.
After receiving the new part, I started opening the old useless EPP. If you look at the picture, you will see that it is very neatly placed inside the machine. After removing the old EPP and setting the new one, its configuration and data encryption chips had to be re-verified.
After installing the new EPP, I had to check repeatedly whether its keypads were responding properly.
After changing the hardware, it was a big challenge to match it with the machine software. After a long effort, the machine was back up and running and became suitable for general customers.
New challenges will always arise in technical work. However, due to the right decisions at the right time and the cooperation of the office, I was able to complete today's work quite successfully. A small negligence on our part can create a major security risk, so it is important to give 100% attention to such tasks.
You can comment on how you liked my work experience today. Your support will encourage me to share better content.
This was my arrangement for today. I hope you liked the pictures I took and the nature observations. Wishing everyone good health, I bid you farewell here today.
