The Virtual PIN pad is included with the ChipDNA download for those who wish to create a ChipDNA Integration, but who do not currently have access to a physical PIN pad.

The Virtual PIN pad is found in a separate folder (ChipDNA PINpad) within the ChipDNA Windows and ChipDNA Lite downloads.

Please note, the virtual PIN pad is compatible with ChipDNA for Windows only. It is not intended to replace a physical PIN pad and will not work with live details. 

Configuration

In the server configuration file (chipdna.config.xml) within the <PaymentDevices> tags, specify the Virtual PIN pad as such:

<PaymentDevice>
<Model>Creditcall-Virtual-Attended</Model>
<Id>29252553</Id>
<Protocol>TCPIP</Protocol>
<Address>127.0.0.1</Address>
<Port>1870</Port>
<StandbyMessage>ChipDNA Lite</StandbyMessage>
</PaymentDevice>

The Virtual PIN pad config is set by default using the following configuration but can be changed. The properties Model, Id and Socket, need to match those specified in the PaymentDevice tag above. This configuration file is found in the 'ChipDNA PINpad' folder.

<Model>Creditcall-Virtual-Attended</Model>
<Id>29252553</Id>
<Socket>127.0.0.1:1871</Socket>

There is a sample Server config attached below
