VCAS tests the integration of the software in the hardware. It implies a huge constraint on transaction overall duration (see Polling timeout below).
Settings
Field | Comment | Value |
|---|---|---|
Port | Listening Port | IP port between 50000 and 65535 |
Update port button | Validate a new value in the Port field |
|
Start/Stop button | Start or stop the VCAS server un ACE-Client. If Start is displayed, the server is stopped and clicking on the button starts the server If Stop is displayed, the server is running and clicking on the button stops the server |
|
Automatic Start | Activate/Deactivate the VCAS server start when ACE-Client is started | 0 or 1 |
Prepare button | Send the default TERMINAL configuration and the CAKeys to the Acceptance System. |
|
TTQ | Default value of the TTQ in the configurations | any valid TTQ value |
Online |
only | Defines if the |
Acceptance System is online only | 1 for online only 0 otherwise |
Agnos v3.3 | Defines |
if the Acceptance System uses the framework 3.3. Note: using Kizis (versus KizisSP) with the framework 3.5 has the same behavior as framework 3.3. | 1 for framework 3.3 or Kizis+FMW3.5 0 otherwise | |
Activate log | Activate/Deactivate the logs and the display in Transaction Page. If support is needed, must be activated. During the normal session, must be deactivated. | 0 or 1 |
Troubleshooting
If you need us to investigate anything related to VCAS, perform the test/transaction then:
use the File > Export mechanism to create an export zip
get the TTQ value from Setup > Visa Cross-testing Automation System
get the Administrative value from Setup > Visa Cross-testing Automation System
Send us the export, the TTQ and Administrative values.

How to change the listening port
if ACE-Client runs:
change the value in the field
click on Update Port button
click on Stop button
click on Start button (same as Stop)
Starting from version 3.3.34, if ACE-Client is stopped
edit “vcas.ini” in installation directory
change “listeningPort” value
What does SetConfigToDefault do
send the CAKeys to acceptance system
change TERMINAL configuration and send it to acceptance system
change PROCESSING configuration and send it to acceptance system
change ENTRY_POINT configuration and send it to acceptance system
What does PrepareTransaction do
change the TMS/Administrative settings in acceptance system. The values in the table below are set/modified:
Field | Forced Value |
|---|---|
Contactless | 1 |
Trace Depth | 6 for APDU log delay |
Key In | 0 |
Signal | 1 |
Polling timeout | VCAS tool gives the value of the polling timeout |
APDU Log | 0 if Agnos v3.3 is ticked 1 for the other frameworks |
PayPass Legacy | 0 |
Amex Legacy | 0 |
JCB Legacy | 0 |
CUP Legacy | 0 |
DPAS Legacy | 0 |
Visa Legacy | 1 |
Digital Signals | 1 |
The other values may depend on the ICS.

In order to achieve the ‘online only’ functionality, the Contactless Floor Limit (VCAS tag C007) default value is set to 0x00 00 00 00 00 00 instead of 0x00 00 00 00 80 00.
First Transaction with the robot
The Device may initiate a communication towards ACE-Client before using the robot. If ACE-Client is stopped then started again by the robot, the previous communication from the device to ACE-Client is lost. Then the first communication attempt from the device to ACE-Client might fail and cause a timeout.
