Figure 2-21: Sample PCI compliant network
The PCI compliant network must be set up so that:
• The USBnet is on a different subnet from the point-of-sale-terminal.
• All security protocols must be established from the point-of-sale terminal to
the payment processor.
• Payment card terminals must be on a dedicated LAN or VLAN.
• The AirLink device must be connected to a router that is configured for PCI
compliance.
Note: The serial port on the AirLink device has no access to the IP data path and does not
need to be disabled.
If you are using the AirLink ES440 for a payment card industry application, to
meet PCI Data Security Standard compliance requirements the following steps
must be done by a PCI certified service company.
For each device:
1. Connect the AirLink device to a router that has been configured for PCI
compliance.
2. Log in to ACEmanager. (User name is user; default password is 12345.)
Change the password regularly, in accordance with PCI recommendations.
3. Go to the Admin tab and change the default password.
Do not share the ACEmanager password.
4. Go to Applications > ALEOS Application Framework and set the ALEOS
Application Framework field to Disable.
