WEB Connect for Pocket PC page 23
Using IR/Serial Options
Introduction
WEB Connect also has a number of other exciting features not normally found in traditional POS terminals.
These are Rep ID classification and Server-Side Signature Storage. In addition, the options screen allows you to
setup your Pocket PC to use one of our printers (Pocket Printer 4 or Pocket Merchant) and to setup a card
reader or check reader.
Assigning a Rep ID:
A Representative Identification Number (Rep ID) is ideal for companies that have multiple agents in the field,
but use only one Merchant Account. By assigning a Rep ID to each of your "Reps", you can monitor sales
performance, setup tip calculations, and create individualized sales reports. Signature Plus! (a companion
product to WEB Connect) even allows to query results based on the Rep ID!
Setting up a Printer:
WEB Connect allows you to setup a printer so that you can print receipts in the field. Internal support exists for
Pocket Printer 4 and Pocket Merchant. Pocket Printer 4 is a dedicated mobile pocket printer, where Pocket
Merchant contains all the features of Pocket Printer 4 plus a card reader. For additional information on how to
use these printers, please consult the documentation that comes with each individual unit.
Setting-Up a Card Reader / Check Reader
The default setting for WEB Connect is set for Pocket Merchant. This device attached to the COM 1 port of your
Pocket PC. The COM 1 port is generally set to the bottom connector of your Pocket PC. If you connect a Card
Reader or Check Reader to the bottom connector of your Pocket PC, make sure you have set the Card Reader
to COM 1.
Note that if the Auto-detect Connection is set for syncing your Pocket PC to your computer, each time you turn
on the power of an attached device, the PDA will try to sync to your computer, click on the Cancel button to stop
this process. If you purchased a Check Reader, Printer, or Card Reader, from Advanced Merchant Solutions
(www.merchantanywhere.com), then no changes need to be made to the device's configuration. Simply follow
the instructions that came with your package on how to install the reader to your Pocket PC.
