Configuring Dynamic Public IP Communication

Dynamic IP over a public network is the default method of communicating with the Moneris host for the iCT250 terminal. If you plan to use this method then no communication configuration is required.  However, you may follow the steps below to confirm that your terminal is set up correctly.

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.

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

Note:  The Ethernet cable must be connected to the the magic box.

To navigate through the menus:

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