c. Device Configuration (refer section “C.3.1.10.Set-up - Device Configuration”)

d. Test Functions (refer section “C.3.2.16.Test/Service/Demo Mode”)

e. Any other features deemed to be restricted by the Authority.

C.3.1.5.5. Audible Alarm

a. An audible alarm must be provided for signalling of door opens and error conditions in gaming equipment directly accessible to the general public.

b. When the alarm is activated it must remain audible for a period not less that ten seconds.

c. Accordingly, volume controls (either hardware or software set) must not be able to be adjusted to a level where the volume is barely audible (that is, unable to be heard by patrons at adjacent machines).

C.3.1.6. Recovery

In the event of a non-destructive fault (eg. coin jam) or failure (eg. power off), de-activation (eg. game disabled by host) or interruption (eg. door opened), the gaming device must be able to fully recover to its state immediately before the disruption, once the condition is cleared.

C.3.1.7. Communications

a. All gaming equipment supplied to or for an operator must comply with the approved communications requirements of that operator.

b. Where any data (eg. credits, metering information, information pertaining to a game outcome, etc.) are transferred between microprocessors or sub-systems internal or external to a gaming device, there must be a form of error detection and correction on the transferral.

c. Where an operator requires communication to be implemented, such that more than one gaming device may communicate using the same transmission medium, a device’s communications port must, after loading the appropriate divisors into the UART (or other), operate at a baud rate within a 1% tolerance of the required baud rate.

C.3.1.8. Unused Program Memory

The Authority requires that all unused areas of EPROM be written with the inverse of the erased state, which for most EPROMs is zero bits (00 hex) rather than one bits (FF hex).

C.3.1.9. Player Input

Gaming equipment software must not allow a gaming device to be adversely affected by the simultaneous or sequential activation of the various inputs.

C.3.1.10. Set-up - Device Configuration

a. A variable required to be set during device configuration or set-up must be only able to be set once per valid memory clear.

b. A gaming device must not be able to be operated unless all configuration variables are set.

c. A device may be configured remotely or by direct access via an approved mechanism.
