Configuring Static Public IP Communications

If your terminal will communicate with the Moneris Host over the Internet using Public IP with Static 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.

Before you begin you will need:

• the terminal's IP Address

• the terminal's Mask ID

• the Gateway Address

• the Primary DNS Address

• the Secondary DNS Address
