ATMdesk for Field Service

ATMdesk for Field Service runs directly on the ATM’s PC core to test the installed modules in an ATM.

If you are a third-party ATM service provider or a financial institution that wants to maintain your own ATMs, use ATMdesk for Field Service to keep your ATM network up and running.

What it’s for

By using ATMdesk for Field Service, you can test NCR 53xx EasyPoint, 56xx and 58xx Personas, and 66xx SelfServ ATMs and their modules.

Since its first release in 2007, ATMdesk for Field Service has helped to maintain more than a hundred-thousand live NCR ATMs.

How it works

ATMdesk for Field Service is a Linux-based live CD or USB. To launch it on an ATM, you reboot the ATM from external media (CD or USB). It is not installed on the ATM’s hard disk drive (HDD), leaves no traces within the ATM, and is independent from the software that is installed on the ATM’s HDD.

The following typical scenario demonstrates how quickly you can start using ATMdesk for Field Service.

1. Reboot the ATM.

To begin, you shut down Aptra and Microsoft Windows, insert the ATMdesk CD or USB, and start the machine. The software runs and searches for all connected devices.

2. Insert the USB Key.
