- Connect the device to Ethernet and Power.
- If your organization uses a Managed Network, send a message to your Network Admin asking them to make a reservation on the network for each PAX Device and to send you the IP Address for each device as well as the Device ID/Name that is listed in the DHCP. Otherwise, open the management interface for your Router and set up a Reservation for the devices there. Remember to still notate the Device ID/Name.
- Next, Open and login to Agile Administration.
- Go to your house and expand the Accounting Folder.
- Go to the Merchant Node. At this time, find the VARS Sheet the TSYS provided you as you will need it for the rest of this setup.
- Right-click in the right-hand window, hover over "New," and then in the pop-up menu select "Vital/TSYS."
- In the new window, you will set up a new merchant. Name the Merchant "ORG NAME Vital/TSYS PAX".
- If you already have an E-Commerce Vital/TSYS account, you can use the same Bank ID from it in the Bank ID box here.
- Otherwise, there should be a BIN Number on your VARS sheet. Use that number to fill in the box.
- Use the VARS sheet to fill in the rest of the boxes. You are required to fill in:
- Merchant Number
- Merchant Service Phone Number
- Merchant State
- Store Number
- Terminal Number
- Time Zone
- Zip Code
- Terminal ID
- Category Code
- Country Code
- Currency Code
- Industry Code
- Language Code
- Agent Bank Number
- Agent Chain Number
- Merchant Location Number
- Check the Card Present Box and the Retail Terminal Required Box.
- Hit Apply
- A new Tab will have appeared, it will be called "Terminals". Click on this tab.
- In the new tab right-click in the top blank window and hit "New"
- Make sure the Connection Type drop-down menu is set to TCP
- The TCP IP is the IP Address you or your Network Admin. Set the reservation up for the device on your network.
- The TCP Port is 10009.
- Hit Apply and Ok
- Repeat for all other PAX Terminals
- Next, go to the Location node located in the top-level settings folder. Find the Location with the same name as the Organization and then locate the terminal in the bottom window.
- Right-click on the terminal, and hit properties.
- In the Terminal Properties window go to the tab labeled, CC Terminal.
- Checkmark the Merchant EMV Terminal box
- Select the PAX device from the drop-down menu that the Terminal will be using.
- If you do not want your Box Office personnel entering any Credit Card info into Agile manually, you can check the Credit Card Entry Restricted box.
- Hit Apply and Ok.
- Repeat for all other Terminals with PAX devices
- Go to your Payment Methods Node, located under the house in the Accounting folder.
- Here we will need to switch the Card Present Merchant Types to the TSYS merchant for all the AMS credit card Payment methods.
- Right-click on the payment method and hit properties.
- Locate the Card Holder Present drop-downs. Choose the TSYS option from the drop-down.
- Hit Apply and Ok.
- Switch to Sales.
- At the top of the screen hit the PIN PAD/PAX menu and select INIT:
- When you hit INIT it is normal for the system to pause while attempting to connect to the device. DO NOT try to close the program, this is normal.
- Watch the device to see when the Init function has finished and then you will be able to continue using the application.
- Run a test transaction to verify everything is working.
Addendum:
- NFC/Apple Pay/Google Pay/Chip Reader/etc. usage depends on the settings TSYS has on the backend. If a client wishes to use these functions, they need to contact TSYS.
- If you are getting a CONNECT ERROR while trying to Init go into the Menu and navigate to the Communication button. Select that and go to the ECR Comm Type. Make sure that 4. Ethernet -> 10009 -> TCP/IP are set as the options. If you still have an issue contact your Support Agent
