TERMINAL FEATURES
Application Software Features-L3FRET1 CLASS A RETAIL/AVS/PURCHASING CARD/DEBIT
♦ Most invalid batch sequence errors (except those caused by multiple terminals using identical
device ID’s under the same merchant ID) are resolved automatically by the application to
reduce customer problems and inquiries.
♦ Account ranges are available to customize options for each card type via Zontalk downloads.
The options are a) AVS, b) direct marketing, c) purchasing card (includes customer code, tax
and purchase ID [Visa-only]) and d) invoice number.
♦ #INVOICE, #PTAX, #PAVS, #PCARD, and #DM parameters are now universal overrides
which, when enabled, take precedence over the options enabled within each account range
option setting.
♦ The purchase ID prompt, required for Visa purchasing card transactions, has been added.
This field allows entry of a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters. The merchant will enter
an invoice number or order number into this field.
♦ The customer code field for MasterCard and Visa purchasing card transactions now allows
for entry of a maximum of 17 alphanumeric characters. This field is now separate from the
order number field.
♦ The new #DM (direct marketing) Zontalk parameter replaces the role of the #PAVS
parameter as it was used in previous LP 3000 retail applications. This parameter also serves
as an override to the “direct marketing” option in the account ranges.
♦ The #PAVS parameter is now used to prompt for entry of only the customer’s address and
ZIP code. When only this field is enabled (and NOT the direct marketing flag), transactions
do not comply with direct marketing interchange requirements.
♦ Split dial “authorization only” request functionality for American Express and
Discover/NOVUS card transactions have been added. Downloadable parameters for
primary, secondary dial-up phone numbers and terminal ID are now available.
♦ New local functions: a) view last three host responses ([ENTER] [4][0]); b) view last three
settled batches ([ENTER] [4][4]); c) deposit inquiry/batch update ([ENTER] [5][0]).
♦ The deposit inquiry function (via [ENTER] [5][0]) requests and receives from the host the last
settled batch that the host processed. It then displays the settled total on its display.
♦ The batch update function (via [ENTER] [5][0]) permits the terminal to send all local revisions
and offline items to the host. This function balances terminal and host transactions and totals
to assist with merchant terminal support.
♦ Local functions now with password protect capability are: a) change batch number ([ENTER]
[4][7]), b) view last three settled batches ([ENTER] [4][0]), c) view last three host responses
([ENTER] [4][4]), d) deposit inquiry/batch update ([ENTER] [5][0]).
