Currency Code |
Enter or verify the existing ISO numeric three-digit currency code for the country. (This value can only be set when SPI Interface = True.) |
Enable Quick Chip |
Set the value to True when using the quick chip feature. (This value can only be set when SPI Interface = True.) Ensure that your PSP supports quick chip before you enable this feature. Quick chip lets the guest swipe or dip a credit card at the beginning of a fast transaction while the workstation operator enters the menu items. The system must allow fast transactions by enabling option 15 - Allow Fast Transactions in the RVC Parameters module. |

SPI Interface |
Set the value to True when using the SPI driver. This is helpful in preparation for an upgrade or switch from OPI to SPI, when you have a property with many POS clients that each require a certificate. While the property is still operating on OPI and the payment driver remains set to SPI Interface = False, each client SPI device can be created and certificates loaded. As long as the payment driver is not set to SPI, the device record is ignored. When the property is ready to switch to SPI, you simply need to set the SPI Interface to True. |
Validate XML Message Against Schema |
To validate the format of existing messages that are sent to the PSP against the schema, set the value to True. (This value can only be set when SPI Interface = True.) |
Security |
You can load the certificate into the payment driver or the workstation device, depending on the communication method and connection between the POS client and the PED. The certificates are installed on the POS clients as part of the DBSync process.
The Oracle Hospitality Simphony Security Guide contains more information about the certificates. |
