Wi-Fi communication settings

If you are using a Wi-Fi network to communicate with Moneris, it is important to correctly set up the network on your terminal.

The Communication Setup screen allows you to:

§        set up one or more Wi-Fi networks

§        forget a saved network

§        change a network password

§        change network settings from dynamic IP to static IP

Note: When entering IP addresses, use the terminal's keypad.  To enter a period, press the punctuation key once.

 

1.      From the Main menu, tap Settings > Communication > Communication Setup.

2.      Tap the Wi-Fi toggle to enable or disable Wi-Fi communication.

Note:      If your terminal uses Wi-Fi only, Wi-Fi must be enabled in order to communicate with Moneris.

Note:      If you disable Wi-Fi, the terminal will remember the Wi-Fi networks you have set up.  You will not have to set them up again.
