Configuring Static Public IP Communication

If your terminal is registered to a base that will communicate with the Moneris Host over the Internet using public IP with static addressing, you will need to set up these parameters for the base.

Note:  The Ethernet cable must be connected to the communications base to which the terminal is registered. If the base is configured to use Ethernet communication and dial backup is available, the terminal will tell the base to use dial communication if Ethernet communication is not available during a transaction. After performing a transaction using dial (as backup), the base will attempt to use Ethernet communication for the next transaction.

Before you begin you will need:

• the base's IP Address

• the base's Mask ID

• the base's Gateway Address

• the base's Primary DNS Address

• the base's Secondary DNS Address
