8 Communication Settings
The Albert /MTPT10 terminal requires a connection to the acquirer’s host
systems in order to upload transactions and to download updates of software and changed
configuration settings. Communication can be by LAN (Ethernet), WLAN/Wi-Fi or mobile network
(3G).
The terminal automatically connects to the internet in the order of priority of the above list, i.e. it
will first seek a LAN (Ethernet) connection, then a WLAN/Wi-Fi connection, etc. If, for example, the
terminal is using 3G and then a WLAN/Wi-Fi connection becomes available, it will automatically
transition to WLAN/Wi-Fi.
8.1 LAN
A LAN connection can be established only if the device is using the Pole Mount module. This
module is intended for using the Albert /MTPT10 in a fixed location.
The module is primarily intended for permanent locations.
8.2 WLAN

connection. If the payment terminal is connected to a WLAN network, a symbol in the status bar
of the display shows the current signal strength. Several bars indicate a stable connection.
Only secure WLAN/WiFi networks (e.g. WPA/WPA2) can be used for connections.
You can activate a Wi-Fi connection by switching on Settings -> Wi-Fi, for example:
