Payment Features
The Elo PayPoint System supports cash, checks, and card payment transactions via the
PayPoint Register. The Elo PayPoint includes magnetic swipe reader (MSR) functionality for
reading payment card information.
Magnetic Swipe Reader (MSR):
A magnetic stripe card is a type of card capable of storing data on a band of magnetic material
on the card. The magnetic stripe, sometimes called swipe card or magstripe, is read by swiping
past the magnetic reading head. The register is capable of reading three tracks - these are
known as tracks 1, 2, and 3. Track 3 is typically unused by the major worldwide card processing
networks, and often isn't even physically present on the card by virtue of a narrower magnetic
stripe. Point-of-sale card readers almost always read track 1, or track 2, and sometimes both, in
case one track is unreadable. The minimum cardholder account information needed to
complete a transaction is present on both tracks. Track 1 has a higher bit density (210 bits per
inch vs. 75), and is the only track that may contain alphabetic text, and hence is the only track
that contains the cardholder's name.
Setting up WPA2 on your Wi-Fi network
To ensure a more secure connection to the Internet, the PayPoint Register is designed to only
connect wirelessly to the Internet via WPA2 Wi-Fi network.
To setup WPA2 on your Wi-Fi network, you will need a computer with an Ethernet port, a spare
Ethernet cable, and the wireless router that can support WPA2.
1. First, connect the computer to the router via the Ethernet cable
2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the router in the address bar.
Note: When operating in Windows identify the IP address of the router by:
o
Open Command Prompt.
o
Type “ipconfig” and press Enter.
o
The IP address of the router will be listed next to “Default Gateway” under “Ethernet
adapter Local Area Connection”.
