The terminal has a top-level Supervisor Password that will manage access to all payment application functions.

The Supervisor Password will either be pre-configured prior to the terminal being delivered or set during terminal setup.

In the latter case the Supervisor Password is set by entering it twice. If the two entered passwords don't match an error message will be displayed. The password must contain a minimum of 6 alphanumeric characters. When password requirements are met, a message is displayed to confirm it has been successfully created.

Initial setting of terminal security level

Prior to taking card payments the next step is to set the terminal’s security level. The security level has three options:

Use Supervisor Password – the Supervisor Password will be requested for all the menu items. 

Continue with no password - the Supervisor Password will only be prompted for Refund transactions and Password menu items.

Configure passwords - this option gives the flexibility of setting up custom passwords for multiple menu items. This provides maximum flexibility when the terminal is used by multiple operators with varying authorities.

Note: The Password menu will always be protected with the Supervisor Password.

Important

If the application is exited prior to setting the security type (or if the connection is interrupted), the next time the application is run the operator will be requested to set the security type.

Changing Supervisor Passwords

From the main menu go into the Passwords menu. Enter the Supervisor Password. 

The next screen will display the current security type and a “Change Supervisor Password” button.  

Enter the new Supervisor Password. Once the password is successfully updated, a message will be displayed to confirm the Supervisor Password has changed. 

Changing security level

After the initial setup the security level can be changed at any given time. Any change to security level requires the entry of the Supervisor Password.

From the main menu go to the Passwords menu. Enter the Supervisor Password. The next screen will display the current security level; to change the level tap on the arrow and select the new security level

If the “no password” security level is selected a prompt will be displayed to inform the user only Refund transactions will be Supervisor Password protected.

Custom Password

Custom Passwords can be configured to protect individual terminal functions.

Once the security level is successfully set to "configure passwords", Custom Password(s) can be configured. There is a limit of 5 Custom Passwords which can be set on the terminal.

The Custom Password(s) must have an associated name which can be entered via the displayed keyboard. Each custom password should contain at least 6 alphanumeric characters. The password is entered twice. If the password entries don't match an error message will be displayed. When password validation is complete, the menu items it will protect can be selected. 

The assign password screen lists the menu items which can be protected by the entered Custom Password. In the upper part of the screen there is a “search" option allowing the user to search/ filter through all menu items. 

If there are items already password protected the prompt "already has a password", will be displayed.

If a new Custom Password is assigned to an already protected item a confirmation will be requested to overwrite the old Custom Password. 

Password was successfully created will be displayed once a Custom Password has been set and menu items assigned.

Note: Each menu item can have just ONE Custom Password assigned. 

Deleting Custom Passwords

From the main menu go to the Passwords menu Item. Enter the Supervisor Password. 

The next screen will display the current security type; if the security type is set to Custom Passwords the existing password will be listed on this page.  

Select the "delete" password icon for a specific Custom Password. Confirmation of the action will be requested. Once the password is successfully deleted, a message will indicate it has been removed.

If all Custom Passwords are deleted and Password menu exit is requested, a notification will state; No Custom Passwords created, and the security type will change to “No password”. At this point it is possible to go back and set up at least one Custom Password.

Changing Custom Passwords

From the main menu go to Passwords menu Item. Enter the Supervisor Password. 

The next screen will display the current security type; if the security type is set Custom Passwords the existing password will be listed on this page.
