Import Processing
The Import feature is used to import/view your audit file production data or ATMulator log. Remember that
the Alias File can be used to assign meaningful descriptions to imported messages. At the end of Import,
FASTest builds a single transaction containing all imported messages in the order they occurred.
Import File
File Identifier - This allows Paragon to know the layout of your host audit file.
File Name - The name of the file you want to import from your PC. You can use the BROWSE button to locate the file on your PC.
Remember that you need to have transferred the file from your Host platform to your PC.
Block size - This specifies the number of bytes FASTest reads from each block of data.
Record Delimiter - (Only applies to ASCII files). This identifies the inter-record separator value to be used by FASTest when extracting
individual records from a block of data.
Terminal ID - By entering a value in this field, FASTest filters the audit and imports only messages that contain this particular Terminal ID.
Format - By selecting an option (ASCII or EBCDIC), you can control the format of the file to be imported.
Range
All Messages - This imports all messages in the audit file.
Messages From / Through - This feature allows you to set a date and time range when importing a file to FASTest.
Message Types
Outbound To Host Only - This option imports only outbound to Host messages.
Inbound From Holy Only - This option imports only inbound to Host messages.
Outbound to Host and Inbound From Host - This option imports both inbound and outbound messages.

Auto Reply Script Maintenance
Right-click
selected script
statement for edit
pull-down menu
FASTest allows the user to create or modify an auto reply script from the Script
Maintenance panel by selecting the User Scripts/Auto Reply Scripts from the
Component Maintenance panel.
Auto Reply scripts enable dynamic replies based on message interrogation.
The user can drag-and-drop script statements into scripts.
The source message is received from the partner application and the current
message is sent to the partner application.
Use the {EXIT AUTO REPLY LOOP} statement when using an auto reply repeat
message in a FASTest script.
Right-click the selected script statement to copy, paste, edit, and/or delete.
Right-click the selected script library statement for a description of the statement.
All references to messages and message fields must refer to currently-loaded
entries. By renaming a message, for example, the user can corrupt an auto reply
script statement, FASTest warns the user that this may occur.
A complete list of script statements can be found in the FASTest User Guide.
52
User Exit Script Maintenance
Right-click
selected script
statement for edit
pull-down menu
FASTest allows the user to create or modify user exit scripts from the Script Maintenance panel
by selecting the User Scripts/User Exits from the Component Maintenance panel.
User exits are designed to allow the user to interrogate and manipulate messages by
controlling only the initial or final response to messages from the partner application.
The user can apply user exits to accomplish many of the same tasks for which an auto reply
script might be applicable, or the user can apply them in combination with an auto reply
script.
Since user exit scripts are used as a last minute control for the message, the user can
even apply a user exit to change the message type just before FASTest sends the message
to or receives the message from a partner application.
Some examples of inbound and outbound user exits are:
An inbound user exit can save the sequence number from the response message and
hold it in a user variable. When FASTest composes the completion, the completion
can contain the sequence number that was saved in the user variable.
An outbound user exit can increment a sequence number before returning it to the
partner application.
53
Auto Reply Script Set Maintenance
With FASTest, the user can define auto reply scripts to dynamically determine the type and
content of user-specified messages to automatically return to the partner application during a test
session
Drag-and-drop script statements into the script.
Source messages are received from the partner application and current messages are sent
to the partner application.
Use the {EXIT AUTO REPLY LOOP} statement when using an auto reply repeat message
in a FASTest script.
Right-click the selected script statement to copy, paste, edit, and/or delete.
Right-click the selected script library statement for description of statement.
All references to messages and message fields must refer to currently-loaded entries. By
renaming a message, for example, the user might corrupt an auto reply script statement,
FASTest warns the user that this may occur.
A complete list of script statements can be found in the FASTest User Guide.
54
User Exit Script Set Maintenance
Same format as Auto Reply Script Set Maintenance

Sharing Test Cases

Export
A test case encompasses all of the primary components and referenced data files you need to execute a
FASTest test session including test groups, scripts, transactions, and messages. FASTests export/import
utility allows you to easily share specific test cases or data files with other users; for example, for training or
support purposes.
When using the export/import utility, note the following.
There is no installer associated with this utility, therefore users must have access to import
location.
When exporting individual test cases, the following items are not included in the data file:
Properties explicitly set for a script

Table validations
Token profiles
Fields database
Schedule test group settings
Establish a standard file location and employ a simple naming convention to distinguish each
test case and its associated items from items already defined in the current FASTest session.
Deselecting a referenced item (when exporting a test case) may yield unexpected results when
the test is subsequently imported and used.
To begin the export process, select File/Export Test Cases from the Component Maintenance
panel.

Configuring FASTest for EMV

From the Start menu, select the user-specified FASTest terminal host system (Diebold, NCR, or
Wincor) to display the Component Maintenance panel.
Start/Programs/FASTest/FASTest for Diebold 2.4
Start/Programs/FASTest/FASTest for NDC 2.4
Start/Programs/FASTest/FASTest for Wincor for NDC
Start/Programs/FASTest/FASTest for Wincor for 91x
There are two ways to provide FASTest with the EMV data needed to process EMV test
transactions. The user can download the EMV data into FASTest, or configure the
specific information in the terminal (AIDs, Terminal Tags, etc.).
The Basic Steps for configuring FASTest for EMV are outlined in the following sections.
1. Configure the terminal record by executing an EMV download or configuring data
from the Terminal Data screen (AIDs, terminal tags, etc.)
2. Add EMV test cards to the FASTest cards database
3. Set up EMV transactions (based on FASTests templates)
4. Run the tests
Configuring FASTest for EMV:

NCR Terminal Profile Only
Note for NCR/NDC+ terminals only:

Before configuring NDC+ terminals to process EMV test transactions, the user must set
the Magnetic Card Reader/Writer on the Configuration tab of the NCR Terminal Profile
panel.
Click the Terminals menu item on the Component Maintenance panel. The
Terminal Data panel will be displayed.
To access the Terminal Profile panel, select a file name from the Profile Name field
pull-down list under the Profile-Maintained Settings and click Edit.
Select the Configuration tab on the Terminal Profile panel and right-click the
setting option for the Magnetic Card Reader/Writer.
Select the [0C - Track 1/2/3 CIM86 MCRW] option from the pull-down list
Click OK to save changes and close the panel.
Configuring the Terminal Record:

Accepting an EMV Download
Downloading EMV information from the user-host system to FASTest enables FASTest
to correctly format its messages with the EMV data elements expected by the user-host
system. The user can set up FASTest to accept the download by completing the
following steps.
1. From the Component Maintenance panel, click the Transactions tab.
2. Select the Download Sequence transaction and click Run. FASTest listens for
the download from your host.
3. On the host system, initiate the download sequence used for ATMs supporting
EMV. (Steps for initiating this download vary based on the type of host system.
Consult your system administrators, if necessary, for the procedure used on your
system.)
Once FASTest accepts the download from the host system, the EMV tests conducted by
FASTest will contain the correct ICC data.

Configuring Smart Card Applications:

Adding Smart Cards to the Database
Adding ICCs (Smart Cards) to the database

To simulate ICCs (Integrated Circuit Cards aka Smart Cards), the user can install and
use a swipe card reader (which is covered later in this section) or follow the same
procedure for adding any test card via the Card Database Maintenance panel. However,
the user must follow these additional steps specific to ICC configuration.
1. First specify the Description, then the Type. When ICC/Smart Card is selected, the
Configure ICC button is displayed.
2. Specify the Scheme and make sure this card type matches the application type you
will enter (Visa cards must use Visa applications and MasterCards must use
MasterCard applications, and so forth).
3. Click Configure ICC to open the ICC Smart Card Maintenance panel.
4. Click New to add a new application to the card. The specified (Visa or Mastercard)
Application Maintenance panel appears.
10

Tagged Values
In the Application ID (AID) field, enter the AID. The AID value must correspond to the card type that you selected on the
Card Database Maintenance panel as well as the applications defined for the terminal.
On the Tagged Values tab, select an item from the list, then edit the Value text entry area at the bottom of the screen.
Tagged Values are the ICC application properties that are accessible from the terminal. Often these are values that are sent
to the host during a transaction or used to calculate values in transaction processing.
As you select subsequent items, the values you have entered are displayed in the Value column by the Description.
For NCR only: Ensure that you set the Language Preference (the 5F2D tagged data element) so the value you specify maps
to one of the languages supported in the ICC Language Support table. (Ask your system administrator how to view this table
[that is downloaded from your Host system].)
For MasterCard ICC configuration only: If you are configuring a MasterCard ICC, be aware that the following settings are
interrelated.
The Derivation Key Index and the Cryptogram Version Number (in the Issuer Application Data [IAD]) in tag 9F10 on the
Tagged Values settings panel.
The Derivation Key Method (either EPI/MCI or EMV 2000) on the Internal Values settings panel. Note that if your
organization is using EPI/MCI, you must specify which M/Chip Session Key is being used.
The M/Chip Card Specifications (either M/Chip 4 or M/Chip 2.1) on the Internal Values settings panel. If EPI/MCI is
specified and no value is specified for the session key, FASTest defaults to M/Chip 2.1.
Changes to the IAD or Derivation Key Method will result in automated changes to the related settings. For details, see About
MasterCard processing in the FASTest documentation.
11

Internal Values
On the Internal Values tab, enter values by selecting the item Description from the list,
then editing the Value text entry area at the bottom of the screen. Typically, you will enter
(at a minimum) the following values.
Confidentiality Master Key
Cryptogram Master Key
Integrity Master Key
For MasterCard ICC only:

Several of the Internal Values settings are interrelated and must be configured properly
so that FASTest can automate some of the ICC settings based on user-supplied
information in other settings. The FASTest User Guide provides details about how
FASTest processes MasterCard IC data.
Note: You must enter the key values for the Host Security Module (HSM); not enter the
key values on the test card.
12

Editing the ICC Application Files
If you need to manually edit (or simply verify) the ICC Application Files, complete the
following steps.
1. Click Edit Files to view and edit the ICC Applications unformatted internal Short
File Index file structure. (Typically, you will use this operation to verify that an
Update Record script command executed successfully.)
2. Use the File Index and the Record Index drop-down lists to display a specific
portion of the ICC Application Files panel. (The Short File Index file structure is
comprised of files, which are further comprised of records.)
3. Make your desired changes in the text entry area.
4. Click OK to save your changes and close the ICC Application Files panel.
13

Smart Card Installation
To enter test card

data into FASTest,
use a PCSCcompliant Smart
Card swipe reader,
such as the ACR305
(serial) card reader
This card reader can
plug into you PC,
read the inserted
Smart Card, and
transmit the data to
your PC
Using a card reader may reduce the data entry required for adding test cards through the
Card Dabase Maintenance panel.
To import ICC data using a card reader, complete the following steps.
1. Install the Smart Card reader and reboot your PC to ensure the device is recognized
by FASTest
Note:
The Import ICC button is only visible on the Card Database Maintenance panel if the
Smart Card reader is installed before FASTest is initialized
14

Importing ICC Data From Smart Cards
2. Insert the Smart Card into the reader.

3. Click Import ICC to open the ICC Import Wizard dialog box.
4. Follow the ICC Import Wizard instructions by clicking Next to continue through the
ICC import process.
Note:
One of the first steps in importing the data is to select the card reader installed. Message
boxes will appear to indicate when the card is being read and also when the ICC data
has been successfully imported.
15

Viewing and Editing Imported ICC Card Data
Before attempting an EMV

transaction, add the internal
application data
Enter a PIN for use in the Flow
facility if you have the Quick
Run/Skip PIN Entry option
activated (There is not enough
data for ATMulator to calculate
or retrieve the correct PIN)
Viewing the ICC data

6. Click Finish to close the wizard and view the ICC data in the Card Database
Maintenance panel.
7. Edit the card data as desired by manually adding internal application information
(such as keys, PIN, cryptographic options, and so forth).
8. Click OK to close the window and save the scanned and edited card data.
Important Note:
The captured card data is maintained until you make a new card selection. When a
different card is selected, the captured card data is lost and you must repeat this
procedure to recapture the card data.
This concludes the procedure for using a card reader to import ICC Smart Card data.

Running EMV Transactions
When running an EMV transaction, note that you can override cards and applications at
runtime using the Card Override and Application fields on the Execute a Test panel.
If you do not select an application, FASTest sends the Smart Card data unmodified. This
is useful when you need to test a specific card or other static card-related data.
