Use the following procedure to pair a POS terminal with a credit card device:
Note: If you attempt to pair a device that is already paired to a terminal, an error message will appear indicating which terminal the device is paired to: The device is already paired to terminal number: 1, machine name: CHS7-CAFE2. After a device is paired, the Pair Device button on the Credit Card Device Edit dialog toggles to Unpair Device.
1. Go to Admin > Schools, click More Details next to the appropriate school, and access the POS tab.
2. In the Terminals section, click the Edit button in the Credit Card Device Edit column next to the POS terminal you want to pair with a credit card device. The Credit Card Device Edit dialog appears.
3. Check the Terminal Credit Card Support checkbox and click Pair Device. A Pairing Code number and the message Status: Waiting for device pairing appear, along with a Cancel Pairing button. The Pair Device and Save & Close buttons are disabled until the device is paired or you click Cancel Pairing.
If you click Cancel Pairing, the Unpaired status is assigned and the pairing code will time out.
4. Enter the pairing code on the device to connect to the server. The Status: Connected message appears and the records are saved to the HST database. The Pair Device button is replaced with the Unpair Device button.
5. Click Save & Closed. A Paired status appears next to the terminal in the Credit Card Device Status column.
