Miscellaneous notes
1. After installation, it is necessary to go to Sales > Tools > Diagnostics > Reset Max. Keys before trying a credit card transaction. If you don’t do this, Sales gives a message that DirectNet is offline.
2. If you use repeat terminal IDs under the same merchant #, you are not able to settle batches (but repeat terminal IDs under different merchant #s are OK).
Example:
term ID=0102, store ID=0001, merch ID=000021001401
term ID=0102, store ID=0001, merch ID=000021001402
3. Use of Sales32c.INI:
[Preferences]
CheckAvailableFunds=TRUE
DirectNetGiftcardTotals=TRUE
[Server]
CreditCardSales=TRUE
StartupCCEZ=TRUE
DirectNet=x.x.x.x:3200
[TRAINING]
CreditCardSales=FALSE
StartupCCEZ=FALSE
Directnet=0.0.0.0:3200
4. You need to close the batch from within Sales (like CreditCheq, but not like ProtoBase, which uses PBAdmin). Do this via Sales > Tools > Credit Cards > Close Batch.
5. DirectNet private label cards work via the Priv payment type.
6. Gift card balances are available without a swipe via (see the Salesware .INI Settings Reference):
[Interface]
MainButtonX=GCB
7. Batches must be closed daily/per operator from each salespoint – otherwise, batches span multiple operators and eventually, if they sit long enough (greater than 24 hours), the rate/fee increases.
8. You must reset MaxKeys on an existing salespoint – resets the batch # field before use.
