Installation of Credit Cards

If an IPTran device is being added to a pre-existing DataTran system that has been installed previously, the DataTran

may need to be reprogrammed for the new IPTran device. Please contact your System Administrator, or SICOM Support

for more infor mation.

Beginning with MGRNG version v1.40, the IPTran can be added to the DHCP Edit, so that it can have a ﬁxed IP

address assigned.

Whenever there is a credit card transaction sent to the DataTran, the DataTran will ﬁrst attempt to authorize

the credit card and amount over the Internet using the IPTran. If it fails, then it will attempt to dial out using the

DataTran.

Software Conﬁguration

Add New Function PLUs

Go to MAINTENANCE -> PRODUCT/DISCOUNT/FUNCTION -> FUNCTION/MEDIA.

Set up a Tender Key with a PLU type of 16. Reference 1 should be the same as the PLU# of the credit card key

you are deﬁning. If the customer is to be able to receive cash back from an over-tender then make Reference 1

the cash PLU (usually 30000000). See Table 1 for additional details.

If you don’t want the cash drawer to open when the credit card is used, place a 1 in the Route2 ﬁeld. Since

newer SICOM cash drawers have a media slot to place the signature slip in, there is no reason for the drawer to

open.

VAT 1 should be 48. (Specifying that the device is connected to terminal 0.)

Class Code should be set to 15. (Credit.)

There are a few other PLUs that need to be set up for Credit Card PLU Mapping. POS2 can automatically ADD

the credit amount to a particular credit card bucket (Amex, MasterCard, Discover, etc.) in addition to the general

one. Simply set up the additional PLUs as directed below but DO NOT put a key in the touch screen edit for it.

Credit Card PLU Mapping is not available in POS1, so there is no need to conﬁgure extra PLUs for this feature if

POS1 is installed.
