CENTRAL SYSTEM
Communicate with all Station Computers (SC) to collect the details of the CSC and CST usage, accounting, operational and auditing data
Store the transaction and audit data in order to assume the central functions based on collected transactions
Maintain and distribute the DMRC equipment operating data (EOD) which includes system parameters, fare table and program to the equipment via the SC
Transmit to the equipment the Keys defined on the CC Perform equipment administration
CC FUNCTIONS
Perform daily and monthly data backup and housekeeping functions
Provide Master clock for clock synchronization
Provide card history Backup, archive and restore Provide alarms to signal the operator of
the occurrence of any fault
Central Components1. Data Center (DC)
composed of 2 servers clustered in order to provide backup for each other
store data sent by station's computers configure the entire AFC system transmit operating parameters, blacklist, and agent list
to the AFC equipment via the station's computers provides facilities for entire AFC system supervision give detailed analysis of passenger traffic, transaction
history for any specific CSC
2. Middle Ware Server (MS)
relay the MCS master clock system and broadcast the time synchronization via NTP over the LAN
Run BOM to generate AFC business reports
3. Archiving Server (AS) archive the data using
AfcServe Archive Software in order to save on a DLT tape partial or global data from the central system
4. Administration Console & Certificate Authority (AC&CA)
Central Administration functions are done on AC&CA console via the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
manage Security Access Modules (for the DSM Cryptographic Data Security Modules attached to each AFC eqpt.

5. Network Management Console (NMC)
manage the Central LAN active network Equipment and the LAN Station's active network equipment via the WAN
Use HP-open view Network Node Manager
6. Locals Workstations (LW)
5 LWs are located within central environment associated with one report printer and communicate with DC via LAN
Operator's workstations for application’s man machine interface such as fare configuration, financial and statistic reporting functions that are elaborated from DC data in DBMS

7. Production Server (PS) ensures the data exchanges between DC and Bulk
Initialization machines (BIM) Acts as a Station Computer for a production center Transmit the operating parameters to BIM Collate production shift transaction data from BIM for
transmission to the DC These central subsystems are interconnected within the
central DMRC Headquarter building on a redundant Local Area Network (LAN).The central computer is able to communicate with the Stations Computers (SC via the DMRC communication Wide Area Network (WAN).

Station Components Station Computer (SC)• collate ticket usage transactions and update Audit
registers from AFC station equipment for transmission to the Central Computer
• Maintain a local database of equipment activity to enable local reports to be compiled.
• Distribution to the CC of the ticket transactions, audit registers and events/alarm data
• Manage incidents (status and alarm monitoring) and maintenance operations
• AFC equipment supervision • Receive configuration and operating data from the Central
Computer distribute these to the AFC station equipment • Stock Management

How AFC works? Passenger comes in free area to
purchase ticket for desired station Token issued with Zone, date,time,
tom no. and station ID marked on it
One ticket for RJCK please
Here is your token
TOKEN ISSUED
Shows his token at Gate SMV on free area
SMV reads the token and writes Entry date,time, equipment id and station id on token
TOKEN AFTER ENTRY
Upon reaching destination station passenger shows his token to Gate SMA on paid area
Token is read and if found valid I.e. for time and Zone allows exit by accepting the token and opening flap
Otherwise display error message
Ticket Office Machine (TOM)
• Transport ticket delivery to the passengers.• The machine is a standard Personal Computer, connected
to different appropriated peripherals • Ticket sale• Ticket reloading (or add-value)• Ticket consultation,ticket data analysis and solving of
conflicts and errors,• Ticket refund• Ticket cancel• Replacement of damaged cards
