Configuring Dynamic Public IP Communications

IMPORTANT:  Do NOT attempt to configure your terminal without assistance from the Moneris Merchant Service Centre.

If your terminal will communicate with the Moneris Host over the Internet using Public IP with Dynamic addressing, you will need to set up these parameters.

Each handheld terminal must have its own unique IP address assigned to it.

Note:  If the terminal is configured to use Ethernet Communications and Dial Backup is available, 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.

Note:  The Ethernet communications cable must be connected before attempting to communicate with the Moneris Host.
