Credit Card Module
The Credit Card Module is based on the same technology that is used in the credit card terminals
found at the major super market store checkout lanes. A credit card terminal will include a
card
reader
, a
modem
and a
display
for prompting the user with credit card related instructions such as
“swipe card”, “card not read”, “card authorizing”, etc.
UNDERSTANDING CREDIT CARD PROCESSING:
For a basic understanding of how any credit card processing systems work, refer to document
8M00613. This provides a description of each step required to get an electronic transaction from the
card terminal to the card processor for authorization, and then to get the electronic funds transferred
from the card processor to your bank account. Consult the factory for details.
PROGRAMMING YOUR CREDIT CARD SYSTEM.
All machines equipped with a Credit Card
Module have been factory programmed to match the Machine Configuration Form that was submitted
at the time of order. If it should become necessary to alter any of these program settings, please refer
to the Credit Card Settings in the main menu of the machine and press the help button to learn more
about each setting.
HIGH SPEED CARD PROCESSING:
Some credit card processors allow high speed card processing.
If your machine was ordered with this capability, it will be equipped with an IP Tran module. This
module will be located outside of the machine unless it has been mounted prior to shipping.
A device capable of being set as a DHCP server (router or switch) must be present at the site. This
device is not provided with the machine. The router or switch must be set to identify the Internet
Service Provider (company providing the DSL or cable service) as the DNS source. It must also be
set as the DHCP server. Both of these settings are configured in the device. Support questions for
these settings should be directed to the company the device was purchased from.
The credit card
terminal is
comprised of a
card reader and a
modem. The
modem shown
here is the legacy
DataTran 162SL.
This is the box
that connects to
the phone line.
IPTRAN – High Speed Connection
The IPTRAN
provides the high
speed option when
combined with the
DataTran modem.
This device has an
ethernet port that
connects to a
router capable of
supplying a
dynamic IP
address.
