Upgrading Microsoft® Internet Explorer®
When you upgrade your Microsoft Internet Explorer version or your workstation or receive a new workstation, you must ensure that it is configured correctly to operate in the CAMS-ii environment.
You will generally notice that the Internet Explorer is not configured correctly after an upgrade or when you receive an new workstation because you can no longer perform file transfers to and from the CAMS-ii server, and/or you receive messages that asking whether to accept a link or web screen because it has an ActiveX® component.
The CAMS-ii Help contains a document that you should print and read that can help you configure your Internet Explorer browser after you upgrade it. It can be found in the CAMS-ii Help at CAMS-ii How-To's > Back Office > Configuring Internet Explorer for CAMS-ii Workstations.
The "Configuring Internet Explorer for CAMS-ii Workstations" topic has links to a document for Internet Explorer version 6 and another document for Internet Explorer version 7 and 8.
Click the appropriate link for the Internet Explorer version running on your workstation and print the document using the printer icon on the PDF document's toolbar.

Reg CC Changes – No More Out-of-Town Checks
The following is an excerpt from an Advanced Fraud Solutions (AFS) e-mail. AFS is a company used by some of our customers to assist in fraudulent and counterfeit check detection. Their message serves as a reminder that a check deposit/cashing change is upon us.
“The final consolidation of paper check processing regions is scheduled for February 26, 2010. After that occurs, there will be only two paper check processing regions for the United States.
Bottom line is that we will say goodbye to ‘non-local’ checks and hello to major changes to our check cashing policies. This translates to the preparation of new disclosures, creation of lobby signage, updating account opening procedures, and conducting teller trainings in preparation for the changes to Reg CC in the coming days.
While our eyes are focused on these changes, the counterfeiters are as well. The absence of ‘non-local’ holds present opportunities for checks to be available much faster than before. Financial institutions with delayed funds check-cashing policies can no longer delay the availability of a non-local check for five days. The longest ‘standard’ delay that can be used will be the two-day availability period which is currently allowed for local checks.â€
So, what does this mean for CAMS-ii customers?
1. As the second paragraph from the AFS e-mail states, you may need new disclosures, lobby signage changes, updated procedures for account opening, and teller training concerning the changes.
2. If you use the CAMS-ii TELLSCAN product, you should remove the out-of-town check type from Check Type Code Maintenance (Back Office >Standard>Parameters > Check Type Code Maint).
3. Schedule with CBS Support via CBS Issue Tracking to change the existing checking account database entries--Those entries which 'remember' how you coded the check when it was scanned (In-Town, Out-Of-Town, Payroll, Government, etc.)--from the out-of-town setting to the in-town setting.
