SmartSELECT Merchant Operating Manual v 2.0 41
Chapter 6: Administrative Transactions
Administrative Transactions allow you to manage and perform the SmartSELECT
features that require communication with the Moneris Host. These include daily
functions such as logging on and off, producing reports and processing end-of-day
settlement, and occasional functions such as Host Initialization.
6.1: Initializing the SmartSELECT Terminal
This function sends information about the SmartSELECT terminal to the Moneris
Host and receives additional parameters and information from the Host. It MUST
be performed once, after completing configuration in order to use your SmartSE-
LECT terminal to process any transactions.
Initialization is performed automatically during the Configuration Shortcut how-
ever, if the Shortcut is interrupted, you must perform the Initialization from the
Administrative Transactions
menu.
Note: The terminal’s communication parameters must be set up before the
Initialization function can be performed. (see Section
4.7:
Communications Parameters
).
6.1.1: Terminal Initialization (First Initialization)
If you abandoned the Configuration Shortcut you will need to perform this trans-
action in order to complete the configuration.
IMPORTANT:
If your communications type is “Dial”, ensure that
the Dial Communications parameters have been
configured before attempting this transaction.
