Remarks on program function

The data for connection of a payment terminal type CARUS can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which already exists can be displayed for information.

The interface and link to a processing unit should be defined together with the device-specific operation mode of the EFT terminal.

Payment terminal devices are required for payment with magnetic cards. Further parametering is necessary, e.g. the appropriate Payment type with link of the permitted Credit card etc. is necessary to operate this terminal.

Remarks on data fields

The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.

As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:

• The entry mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
• There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
• Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
• If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
• The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
• In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.

Debug

The system offers the following debug levels:

• 0 = no protocol of data communications in file "errlog"
• 1 =
• 2 =
• 3 = display of all communications data in file "errlog"

Note:
Only select a value higher than "0" for the debug level if a protocol of communication of the payment terminal is required for error analysis. Data appears in file "errlog" in directory work of the appropriate system unit.
