  1. Click “Card Options”, scroll down to “Admin Only”, and make sure that both of these options are checked:
    1. “Is Service Card” YES
    2. “Is Courtesy Card” YES
    3. “Is infinite balance” NO
  2. Click “Finalize Transaction”

Congrats: You now have a special “Technician” service card.

Try swiping it on any node (including the cashier node) and it will do the following:

  1. Display a special technician service screen with some info about this node (mac address, wifi, node ID, etc)
  2. Ignore all config settings and send two different 2-second arcade coin pulses. (useful for testing).
    1. This special arcade coin line pulse test works on any node regardless of what mode (machine, kiosk, cashier, etc) that they are assigned to.
    2. This EVEN works when the node is unassigned, which is incredibly useful when setting up a LOT of nodes in a large arcade venue.
