To ensure unique allocation of Member Card ID's
Each Master Card carries a range of card ID (4 bytes). The number of unique values in the range is the quota that the Master Card has. Lucky Technology Ltd. ensures that the range of each of the ID in the quota is unique among all master card issued. Therefore, every member card issued by iBonus Terminals in the world has unique card ID.
For example, a Master Card can assign a range of Member ID from 1000004550 to 1000004650 with the quota of 100. With this Master Card, new Member Card can be issued from any Terminal. Each master card can carry up to 25500 quotas logically. Lost Master Card will not be replaced.

In this case customer ID can be set for this purpose. Please read the chapter Set Customer ID for more detail.To ensure the Terminal of different end users can only read their own cards
