This function sends information about the terminal to the Moneris/Ernex Host and receives additional parameters and information from the Host.
This function MUST be performed after completing the set up of the Moneris Loyalty/Gift program in order for you to use your terminal to process loyalty/gift transactions.
From time to time, the Moneris/Ernex Host may ask you to initialize your terminal again if changes have been made to your terminal or your merchant account. Follow the Re-initialization instructions below.
The handheld terminal does not need to be sitting on a base (communications or charge-only) during initialization, however it is recommended.
