Hardware connection

Hardware setup

1.

Connect the power supply to the PayLink-IP/232 and to AC power. The power (red) LED will light to indicate 

that the unit is receiving power.

2.

Connect an Ethernet cross-over cable to the Ethernet RJ-45 jack of the PayLink-IP/232. Attach the other end of 

the crossover network cable to a host PC directly.

Network status is indicated by two LEDs as described in “Appendix B: Hardware status LEDs” on page 26.

3.

Open a web browser to the IP address of the PayLink-IP/232 and configure the device as described in the fol-

lowing pages of this manual.

4.

After configuring the PayLink-IP/232, attach it to your network and connect a payment terminal to its serial 

port.

Serial port activity is indicated by two status LEDs as described in “Appendix B: Hardware status LEDs” on page 26.

Cabling

The PayLink-IP/232 looks exactly like the COM port of a PC from the point of view of the payment terminal, and should 
be hooked up in precisely the same fashion.
