5. Configure your equipment for DHCP
If you wish to initiate a remote connection to your
equipment from your host, do not use DHCP. Got to Step 6
to set up a Static IP.
• Set your equipment to obtain an IP address through
DHCP
• Special case for ATMs
• Configure your ATM according to your processor’s
setup guide as if you were connecting it to a LAN,
DSL modem, or other landline Internet connection.
Use the host addresses, host ports, protocols, and
TLS encryption settings
exactly as your processor
instructs. (Note: this may be different from other
OptConnect products.)
•
IMPORTANT – OptConnect strongly recommends
that you enable TLS encryption and SSL Certificate
Verification on your ATM to prevent attacks such
as “man in the middle.” Enabling SSL Certificate
Verification may require later ATM software versions
from your equipment’s manufacture.
