Configuring Static Public IP Communication

If your terminal will communicate with the Moneris Host over the Internet using Public IP with Static 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:

• the terminal's IP Address

• the terminal's Mask ID

• the terminal's Gateway Address

• the terminal's Primary DNS Address

• the terminal's Secondary DNS Address

Note:  If you are configuring the terminal to work as a semi-integrated device with your ECR, you will also need to know the Port number that the ECR is configured to use to communicate with the terminal.

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.
