PINPAD 1000SE INSTALLATION GUIDE 5
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This chapter provides a brief description of VeriFone’s PINpad 1000SE device.
Unit Overview
The PINpad 1000SE device is a peripheral data entry device that accepts and
encrypts Personal Identification Numbers (PINs). Typically, a PIN is a four- to
twelve-digit code known only by the customer and the issuer. A PIN is used during
transactions to verify that a customer is authorized to use the account (card)
offered. The PIN also serves as the electronic signature for the credit or debit
transaction.

VeriFone’s PINpad 1000
SE device builds on the success of legacy PINpad 1000
and PINpad 101 families, adding support for Triple Data Encryption Standard
(3DES) security and improved ergonomics — all in a rugged, reliable backward-
compatible solution.
The PINpad 1000
SE provides the perfect solution for acquirers, processors, and
merchants looking to capitalize on the expanding range of debit, electronic
benefits transfer (EBT), and other PIN-based transactions. This compact, easy-to-
use device connects to most existing point-of-sale (POS) controllers such as
VeriFone Omni or TRANZ transaction terminals, ZON II microcomputers, or other
microcomputer-based systems. The controller directs all PlNpad device
operations, including communication with the remote host computer, if applicable,
and offers a fast, simple way to be accept the latest in PIN-based transactions.
