Configuring Dynamic Private IP Communication

If your terminal will communicate with the Moneris Host over the Moneris Private IP Network 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.

Before you begin you will need to know:

• the Moneris Region in which the terminal is located

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

Note:  The Ethernet cable must be connected before the terminal can communicate with the Moneris Host.

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 green  key.
