INTRODUCTION TO TID ( Token IDentifier )
BCMM is embarking on a TID project for the electricity meters of the public citizens of the Municipality. The Token Identifier is a 24-bit field, contained in STS compliant tokens, that identifies the date and time of the token generation. It is used to determine if a token has already been used in a payment meter. The TID represents the number of minutes elapsed since the base date of 1st January 1993. The incrementing of the 24-bit field means that at some point in time, the TID value will roll over to a zero value. All STS prepayment meters will be affected by TID roll over on the 24/11/2024. Any tokens generated after this date and utilizing the 24-bit TID, calculated on base date 1993, will be rejected by the meters as being old tokens as the TID value encoded in the token will have reset back to 0.
What to do to prepare?
Where to start?
1. Prepaid Meter User – Read through and follow instructions carefully.
2. Not a prepaid Meter User – you can read through to assist someone you know who does have a prepaid meter.
