Configuring Static IP Communications

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

IMPORTANT: Consult the IP Readiness Checklist to ensure proper network configuration. The IP Readiness Checklist is available for free download at moneris.com/checklist.

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.

Note: The terminal's MAC address can be found on the yellow sticker situated in the connection well.

1.       Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Magic Box BEFORE completing these steps.

2.      Set the Comm Link parameters:
