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.

Semi-integration methods

There are 3 methods for integrating your Moneris terminal with your POS: USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi.

Integration method	Description
Ethernet	This method uses your local Ethernet network to connect your Moneris terminal to your POS.
Wi-Fi	This method uses your local Wi-Fi network to connect your Moneris terminal to your POS.
USB	This method uses a USB cable to connect your Moneris terminal to your POS.

Integration methods by terminal

The available integration methods vary according to your terminal as shown in this table.

Integration method	V400c and Desk/5000 countertop terminals	V400m and Move/5000 wireless terminals
Ethernet	Supported	Not supported
Wi-Fi	Not supported	Supported
USB	Supported	Not supported

Cable connections for wired terminals

Integration method	Desk/5000	V400m
USB	Remove the back cover to access the USB port. Plug one end of the USB cable into the micro USB port in the back of the terminal, and plug the other end into your POS hardware.	Plug one end of the USB cable into the micro USB port on the multi-port box, and plug the other end into your POS hardware.
