Reverting to Dynamic Public IP Communication

Note: Dynamic IP over a public network is the default method of communicating with the Moneris host for the iWL220 terminal. If you plan to use this method then no communication configuration is required.

Use the instructions below only when you have configured your terminal to another method of communicating with the Moneris host and wish to revert to using dynamic IP over a public network (the Internet).

Note:  The Ethernet cable must be connected to the communications base to which the terminal is registered. If the base is configured to use Ethernet communication and dial backup is available, the terminal will tell the base to use dial communication if Ethernet communication is not available during a transaction. After performing a transaction using dial (as backup), the base will attempt to use Ethernet communication for the next transaction.

To navigate through the menus:

- Scroll down: press the key to move the highlight bar down.
- Scroll up: press the key to move the highlight bar up.
- Select a highlighted item: press the  key.
