Charge Cards : Installing Ingenico charge cards : General notes
 
General notes
 
1. You have to install PCEftpos software ( two pieces - EFTServer and EFTClient) on each salespoint (card present transactions)
2. EFTPOS works on a dedicated modem, shared modem or argent line (DSL line with constant connection)
3. Pinpads are programmed from the bank and must connect without error to EFT software before testing in Siriusware Inc. A pinpad, when plugged in, indicates on-screen whether it is communicating with the client (via a comm port). Also, pinpad operation can be tested in EFTclient by going to the EFT client control panel and hitting the Logon button. If Log-on is successful, then the pinpad can connect to the bank and get authorizations. This is verified first before trying a transaction is Sales.
4. EFTClient holds merchant and terminal ID information.
5. Pinpad is programmed with merchant and terminal ID at the bank – be certain its settings match the settings in the EFTClient.
6. Run client diagnostics to troubleshoot setup of the EFTPos system.
7. You have to purchase and install OCV server software for E-Commerce module on the “OSC Server” (card-not-present transactions).
8. All debit cards can now be processed via EFTPOS − PC-EFTPOS now only parses out track 1 information (e.g., cardholder name) if the track 1 is encoded properly.
