Configuring Dynamic Public IP Communication

If your terminal will communicate with the Moneris Host over the Internet using public IP with dynamic addressing, you will need to set up these parameters.

Note:  If the terminal is configured to use Ethernet communication and dial backup is available, when Ethernet communication is not available the terminal will attempt to use dial communication. After performing a transaction using dial (as backup), the terminal will attempt to use Ethernet communication for the next transaction.

From the READY screen (or the TERMINAL SETUP REQUIRED or REINITIALIZATION REQUIRED prompt):

Note:  The Ethernet cable must be connected to the the magic box.
