Configuring Communications

The terminal can communicate with the Moneris Host over Ethernet and Dial Communications.

If you have more than one handheld terminal communicating with one communications base, the base must use Ethernet communications in order to process transactions from more than one handheld at a time.

If you have only one handheld terminal with only one communications base, the base can use dial communications as the default rather than the back-up, i.e. Ethernet communications is not required.

IMPORTANT:  You must contact Moneris before changing from one communications type to another. Changes may be required on the Moneris Host to allow the terminal to communicate successfully using the new communications.

Click on the method of communication your terminal will use and follow the configuration instructions:

• Ethernet Communications:

• Public Internet - Dynamic

• Public Internet - Static

• Private Internet - Dynamic

• Private Internet - Static

• Dial Backup and Dial Communications

Note:  If Dial Backup is configured then, 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.

To determine whether the communications are functioning correctly, check the communications status icons and messages.
