Gift/Loyalty Initialization

This function sends information about the terminal to the Moneris Host and receives additional parameters and information from the Host.

This function MUST be performed after completing the set up of the Moneris Gift/Loyalty program in order for you to use your terminal to process gift/loyalty transactions.

From time to time, the Moneris Host may ask you to initialize your terminal again if changes have been made to your terminal or your merchant account. Follow the Re-initialization instructions below.
