DCC Pre-authorization: Using an iCT250 terminal with an iPP320 PINpad

Follow this Pre-auth procedure if you are using the iCT250 terminal with the optional external iPP320 PINpad. If your terminal does not have a external PINpad attached, follow the DCC Pre-auth transaction for terminals without an external PINpad.

These instructions have been simplified to emphasize the DCC prompts. If you have enabled optional settings, refer to the additional references at the end of this page.
