Extensions for Financial Services (XFS) interface specification Release 3.50 - Part 13: Alarm Device Class Interface - Programmer's Reference
This specification describes the functionality of the services provided by Alarms (ALM) under XFS, by defining the service-specific commands that can be issued, using the WFSGetInfo, WFSAsyncGetInfo, WFSExecute and WFSAsyncExecute functions. This section describes the functionality of an Alarm (ALM) service that applies to both attended and unattended (self-service) devices.
The Alarm device class is provided as a separate service due to the need to set or reset an Alarm when one or more logical services associated with an attended CDM or unattended (self-service) device are locked. Because logical services can be locked by the application the Alarm is implemented in a separate device class to ensure that a set (trigger) or reset operation can be performed at any time.
Specifikacija vmesnika razširitev za finančne storitve (XFS), izdaja 3.50 - 13. del: Vmesnik razreda alarmnih naprav - Referenca za programerje
Ta specifikacija opisuje funkcionalnost storitev, ki jih zagotavljajo alarmne naprave (ALM) v skladu z XFS, z določanjem ukazov, značilnih za določeno storitev, ki jih je mogoče izdati s funkcijami WFSGetInfo, WFSAsyncGetInfo, WFSExecute in WFSAsyncExecute. V tem razdelku je opisana funkcionalnost storitve alarmov, ki se uporablja tako za upravljane kot neupravljane (samopostrežne) naprave.
Razred alarmnih naprav je na voljo kot ločena storitev zaradi potrebe po nastavitvi ali ponastavitvi alarma, kadar je ena ali več logičnih storitev, povezanih z upravljanim CDM ali neupravljano (samopostrežno) napravo, zaklenjenih. Aplikacija lahko zaklene logične storitve, zato se alarm izvaja v ločenem razredu naprave, tako da je mogoče kadar koli izvesti nastavitev (sprožitev) ali ponastavitev.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background to Release 3.50
The CEN/XFS Workshop aims to promote a clear and unambiguous specification defining a multi-vendor software
interface to financial peripheral devices. The XFS (eXtensions for Financial Services) specifications are developed
within the CEN (European Committee for Standardization/Information Society Standardization System) Workshop
environment. CEN Workshops aim to arrive at a European consensus on an issue that can be published as a CEN
Workshop Agreement (CWA).
The CEN/XFS Workshop encourages the participation of both banks and vendors in the deliberations required to
create an industry standard. The CEN/XFS Workshop achieves its goals by focused sub-groups working
electronically and meeting quarterly.
Release 3.50 of the XFS specification is based on a C API and is delivered with the continued promise for the
protection of technical investment for existing applications. This release of the specification extends the
functionality and capabilities of the existing devices covered by the specification:
• Addition of E2E security
• PIN Password Entry.
1.2 XFS Service-Specific Programming
The service classes are defined by their service-specific commands and the associated data structures, error codes,
messages, etc. These commands are used to request functions that are specific to one or more classes of Service
Providers, but not all of them, and therefore are not included in the common API for basic or administration
functions.
When a service-specific command is common among two or more classes of Service Providers, the syntax of the
command is as similar as possible across all services, since a major objective of XFS is to standardize function
codes and structures for the broadest variety of services. For example, using the WFSExecute function, the
commands to read data from various services are as similar as possible to each other in their syntax and data
structures.
In general, the specific command set for a service class is defined as a superset of the specific capabilities likely to
be provided by the developers of the services of that class; thus any particular device will normally support only a
subset of the defined command set.
There are three cases in which a Service Provider may receive a service-specific command that it does not support:
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is not considered to be
fundamental to the service. In this case, the Service Pr

1. Introduction
1.1 Background to Release 3.50
The CEN/XFS Workshop aims to promote a clear and unambiguous specification defining a multi-vendor software
interface to financial peripheral devices. The XFS (eXtensions for Financial Services) specifications are developed
within the CEN (European Committee for Standardization/Information Society Standardization System) Workshop
environment. CEN Workshops aim to arrive at a European consensus on an issue that can be published as a CEN
Workshop Agreement (CWA).
The CEN/XFS Workshop encourages the participation of both banks and vendors in the deliberations required to
create an industry standard. The CEN/XFS Workshop achieves its goals by focused sub-groups working
electronically and meeting quarterly.
Release 3.50 of the XFS specification is based on a C API and is delivered with the continued promise for the
protection of technical investment for existing applications. This release of the specification extends the
functionality and capabilities of the existing devices covered by the specification:
• Addition of E2E security
• PIN Password Entry.
1.2 XFS Service-Specific Programming
The service classes are defined by their service-specific commands and the associated data structures, error codes,
messages, etc. These commands are used to request functions that are specific to one or more classes of Service
Providers, but not all of them, and therefore are not included in the common API for basic or administration
functions.
When a service-specific command is common among two or more classes of Service Providers, the syntax of the
command is as similar as possible across all services, since a major objective of XFS is to standardize function
codes and structures for the broadest variety of services. For example, using the WFSExecute function, the
commands to read data from various services are as similar as possible to each other in their syntax and data
structures.
In general, the specific command set for a service class is defined as a superset of the specific capabilities likely to
be provided by the developers of the services of that class; thus any particular device will normally support only a
subset of the defined command set.
There are three cases in which a Service Provider may receive a service-specific command that it does not support:
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is not considered to be
fundamental to the service. In this case, the Service Provider
