Configuring Communications

The terminal can communicate with the Moneris Host over Ethernet and Dial Communications.

If you have more than one handheld terminal communicating with one communications base, the base must use Ethernet communications in order to process transactions from more than one handheld at a time.

If you have only one handheld terminal with only one communications base, the base can use dial communications as the default rather than the backup, i.e. Ethernet communications is not required.

Click on the method of communication your terminal will use and follow the configuration instructions:

• Ethernet Communications:

• • Public Internet - Dynamic

  • Public Internet - Static

  • Private Internet - Dynamic

  • Private Internet - Static

• Dial Backup and Dial Communications

 If dial backup is configured then, when Ethernet communication is not available, the terminal will attempt to use dial communications. After performing a transaction using dial as backup, the terminal will attempt to use Ethernet Communications for the next transaction.

To determine whether the communications are functioning correctly, check the communications status icons and messages.
