Ernex Initialization

This function sends information about the terminal to the Ernex Host and receives additional parameters and information from the Host.

This function MUST be performed after completing the set up of the Ernex program, in order to use your terminal to process Ernex transactions.

From time to time, the 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.

Note:  Before attempting this transaction, ensure that:
-  the communications parameters have been configured.
-  the terminal has been registered to a communications base.
-  the terminal has been initialized to the Moneris Host
