Registering a Terminal to a Communications Base

A terminal must be registered to a communications base in order to process transactions. Registering introduces the terminal to the base so that the terminal knows which base to look for and the  base knows which terminal(s) to accept transactions from.

Note:   
- A maximum of five terminals can be registered to one communications base.
- Every terminal must be registered individually.
- A terminal can only be registered to one communications base at any one time. To use a different base, register the terminal to that base.

1.  Place the terminal on the communications base to which it is being registered.  (The terminal does not have to remain on the base once registration has been completed.)

2. Press the  key.
The MAIN MENU appears.

3. Scroll down to CONFIGURATION, and press the  key.
The CONFIG FUNCS menu appears.

4. Scroll down to BASE CONFIG, and press the  key.

If the SWIPE ADMIN CARD prompt appears, swipe the POS admin card.

The BASE CONFIG menu appears.

5. Press the  key to select REGISTER BASE.
The ENTER BASE ID entry screen appears.

6. Key in the 8-digit Base ID, and press the  key.
The BASE CONFIG menu reappears.

7. Press the key until the READY screen reappears.
8.  When the icon appears on the handheld screen (in 10-15 seconds), the handheld is ready to talk to the communications base.
