## Overview

### Feature Description

The Electronic Safe (E-Safe) feature was developed to support the E-Safe and Point of Sales Systems (POS) message exchange during the Electronic Safe Drop and Safe Loan operations. This feature includes integrated functionality where actions taken at the POS terminal are automatically registered with E-Safe. An IP Connection to the E-Safe hardware allows safe drop amounts to be retained and totaled to compare with the total amounts in the safe upon shift or day close.

{% hint style="info" %}
To comply with PCI private IP addressing requirements, the Verifone Enhanced Zone Router disallows communication with public Internet addresses, and no longer openly routes or allows communication from or to IP addresses outside of the defined Verifone Zone.

192.168.31.x is reserved for the Verifone POS zone.

All device IP addresses that communicate with the POS Zone must be RFC1918 compliant, meaning they are any private addresses that fall in the following IP scope:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Establishing communication between a store network device and a Verifone device in the POS Zone using the Verifone Enhanced Zone Router requires the following configurations:

* Assign an RFC1918 compliant address to the store device.
* Configure the store router/firewall to allow the device to communicate to the EZR.
* Use Config Client to define a Device Specific Route to the device.
* Configure a Port Forwarding rule on the EZR for the device. (Requires both the device IP address and port number.)

For detailed setup instructions, refer to the following documents:

* Commander Site Controller Network Configuration Guide
* Enhanced Zone Router Installation Guide
  {% endhint %}

### Requirements

#### **Supported Software**

* Commander Site Controller base 39 software and higher.
* Tidel Sentinel E-Safe software version 3.90 or higher.
  * The Tidel Sentinel E-Safe software version appears on the first line of the display on the E-Safe in ready mode.

#### **Supported Hardware**

* Commander Site Controller with Topaz / Ruby2
* RubyCi with Topaz / Ruby2

## Using Electronic Safe

### E-Safe Drop

An E-Safe Drop involves moving money from a cash drawer into E-Safe. This can be done in one of two ways:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Insert bills" %}
This is only used with cash MOP.

* The POS prompts the user to enter the amount taken from the cash drawer. This will be tracked by the POS system.
* The cashier inserts the amount directly into the E-Safe.
* The cash is counted by the E-Safe.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Vault drop" %}
This is used with Cash, Check and Food Stamp MOPs.

* The POS prompts the user to enter the amount to place in E-Safe.
* The cashier places the funds in an envelope and drops the envelope into the safe.
* The POS system communicates to E-Safe the drop amount that is being deposited.
* E-Safe does not calculate or verify the drop amount, but simply acts as the keeper of the envelope.
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

#### **Initiate the Safe Drop**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/feature-references/features-and-products-references/electronic-safe.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
