Host side configuration
If you choose the “Host Side Configuration” option from the main Configuration Menu, a screen of the following form
will appear:
Figure 6: Host side configuration
This screen presents the host configuration settings for contacting payment processors. Settings can be indepen-
dently configured for a primary host (such as a credit host), a secondary host (such as a debit host), and two additional
user-defined hosts (such as charge, gift, or loyalty hosts). For any host that is being used, three parameters need to be
supplied:
•
Activation string
•
IP address or fully qualified DNS name
•
IP port (default: 443)
These three parameters identify an activation string with an IP address/IP port. The activation string can be any charac-
ter-based string, but Lava recommends using activation strings patterned after the traditional Hayes “AT” modem
command set.
NOTE:
If more than one IP address/port number is mapped to a single activation string, the first IP address/port num-
ber will be used.
In addition to the parameters above, a “fallback” IP address and IP port can be supplied for each of the payment hosts
configured. In the event that the PayLink-IP/232 cannot connect to the primary address for the host, the fallback
address will be attempted.
