Troubleshooting semi-integration

Before getting started

Before setting up your Moneris terminal for semi-integration, you must do the following:

§ Set up your terminal’s hardware and software.

§ When using an IP network, ensure that your terminal always uses the same IP address in order to maintain a connection to your POS. You can accomplish this in 2 ways. Choose one:

§ Configure the network setup on your Moneris terminal to use static IP addressing. At the Main menu, tap Settings, Communication, and Communications setup, then follow these instructions.

§ Continue to use dynamic IP addressing, which is the default on your Moneris terminal, but configure your router to always assign the same IP address to the terminal. Contact your network team / IT department for assistance if needed.

§ Ensure you can process transactions in order to verify your terminal is connected to your own network and to the Moneris Host.
