Deployment configurations

The secure payment devices and the payment application can be used and configured according to your needs and requirements. These diagrams define three common configurations:

Self-contained payment application
In this configuration Sagem Denmark provides a complete payment module with payment controller platform and the Sagem Payment Application.

The payment controller will be the Sagem Universal Controller Module (UCM). The UCM will also provide the communication to the transaction host. Integration with the target equipment takes place through a serial command protocol provided by Sagem Denmark. Examples of driver implementation and support are provided to assist the integration tasks.


Hosted payment application
The Sagem Payment Application is a Java application that can be deployed on any platform where a Java runtime environment is available. If desired, the application could be deployed on the platform of the target equipment.

Means of communication is also provided by the target equipment, allowing reuse of facilities used for other purposes. Integration takes place through an object-oriented API, either Java or a Windows COM. This will in many projects reduce the complexity of the integration workload.


Associated payment application
Sometimes the integrator prefers to use a non-Sagem payment application with the Sagem Denmark payment devices. The reason could be that integration with a third-party payment application already exists.

Another common reason is a wish to deploy new payment devices with an existing magnetic stripe application. Such a deployment can later be upgraded with a Sagem Payment Application when local specifications are ready. Integration requires that the payment application is associated with the Sagem devices through SW drivers for the application. Sagem Denmark provides the serial command protocol and assistance for the development of these drives.
