This chapter describes the procedures to set up EFTLink to interface with FIS TransaxEFT.
This document assumes static EFTLink configuration. When deploying with a POS that supports dynamic configuration, all property settings referred to below should be set on the POS, and not directly into local property files. It should be read in conjunction with the Oracle Retail EFTLink Framework Installation and Configuration Guide.
EFTLink connects to FIS TransaxEFT software running on the same PC as the POS via TCP/IP sockets as an OPI client.
|
Note: This document does not cover installation of FIS TransaxEFT software. |
In addition to standard EFTLink files, TransaxEFT uses:
cores/TransaxEFT/transaxeftcore.jar – executable code for the TransaxEFT core.
TransaxEFT.properties – configuration settings to specify which features are enabled and to define communication parameters for the interface with the EFT payment system.
The translation files for this core should not require alteration, but if necessary then this can accomplished by amending the relevant Lang<CC>_<Core>.properties within the base eftlink folder.
The language used will follow the language set in the EFTLink framework; see the Oracle Retail EFTLink Framework Installation and Configuration Guide, EFTLink General Information, Translation section.
EftlinkConfig.properties
DisplayLanguage = EN
Supported country codes are: CN, DE, EN, ES, FR, IT, JP, NL, PT, RU and SV.
The following should have been set in the EftlinkConfig.properties file by installcore.bat or installcore.sh.
EPSCore0 = manito.eft.transaxeft.TransaxEFTOPIClient
Settings are defined in TransaxEFT.properties.
These settings should not need adjustment, but are defined here.

Below is a list of supported functionalities of the interface to Transax.
Table 10-2 Transax - Supported Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
|
Payment |
EFTLink sends payment requests to Transax. Transax will return a response message with formatted receipt strings for customer and/or merchant receipts. If successful, appropriate receipts will be printed at the end of transaction. |
|
Refund |
EFTLink sends refund requests to Transax. This will refund a transaction with specified amount. |
|
Reconciliation / Settlement |
Prints a settlement report at day end. |
|
Receipt Reprint |
Reprint merchant/customer receipt. |
|
Loyalty Balance Enquiry |
Check the balance of a loyalty card. |
The Transax interface has some administration/maintenance operations. These are normally invoked from a dedicated EFT Maintenance button at the POS, though the content of the display screen then presented to the operator is controlled by MaintMenu options enabled above.
