Network Configuration of Verifone Point Device

Point devices can be networked to multiple EBMS point of sale stations. This allows a Point device to be shared between multiple users.

The merchant account configuration is set within the Verifone Point device rather than in the EBMS software. This differs from the Payware Connect configuration in EBMS 7.8 and earlier. Contact technical support to configure the Point software within the device. NOTE: The Point device hardware should be configured before completing the following steps.

Complete the following steps to configure EBMS to use the Verifone Point device:

  1. On the main EBMS menu, select Sales > Options and click on the Payments tab.

  2. Enable the Use Verifone Point as shown below:

  3. Click on the Devices tab.

  4. Click the View List of Verifone Point Devices button to open the Point Devices Setup dialog.

  5. Complete the following steps to add and configure each Point device on the network:

    1. Click the New button to enter the Verifone Device Connection Setting dialog as shown below:

    2. Enter an ID. The ID is a user defined code used to identify the Point device. SUGGESTION: Use the device serial number.

    3. Enter the IP address for the device. This should be assigned by the network administrator and must be a static IP address.

    4. Enter the primary Port number configured on the Point device.  The default port is 5015.  NOTE: The user should make sure the firewall does not block outbound connections to this device.

    5. Enter a brief Description.

    6. Before the Point device can be used it must be paired with EBMS. Review the Point Device Pairing and Utilities section for more details on the Check Device, Pair with EBMS, and Unpair with EBMS buttons.

    7. The MAC Label is not entered by the user. This field is populated when the device is paired.

    8. Click the OK button to save changes.

  6. If desirable, a user can default a specific computer to a Point device. This enables the computer to automatically select the Point device instead of requiring the user to select it each time it is needed. Review the Defaulting a Computer to a Point Device section for the steps to complete this process.
