To configure Valutec gift cards for use in Siriusware:
1. In SysManager, configure Payment Type as follows. Valutec bin ranges will always begin with 7. Any client using Valutec will have their own unique bin range.
2. Configure Activate, Issue and Reload items to be used. For ease of use, Activate, Issue and Reload items could be configured in different amounts, e.g., $50, $100, $200.
3. Add the following setting to the [Preferences] section of the sales32c.INI:
ValutecGiftCard=TRUE

5. In Tools > Credit Cards > General Setup, a Credit Card Terminal and Gift Card Terminal must be configured for ProtoBase.
