Voyager and SIP2: Self-check and Authentication Primer

Abstract

Voyager's implementation of 3M's Standard Interchange Protocol, Version 2.00 (SIP2) isn't just for self-check machines anymore! New services, such as self-serve laptop kiosks and lockers, and extensions to others, such as authentication, are taking advantage of the SIP2 data stream. However, implementing SIP2 for these services requires some patience, experimentation, and some caution. The presenter has encountered several interesting phenomena with Voyager's SIP2, and he will focus on planning and testing implementations, on relationships to other Voyager functionality, and on possible current and future uses of the protocol.
