Here you set up a payment terminal from Nets so it can receive card payments from the checkout. The settings are passed on to the Nets/Baxi driver, which controls the communication between the checkout and the terminal. Most fields have sensible default values and should only be changed by agreement with Nets or your support provider. If you change anything here, the terminal should be tested with a test payment afterwards.
1. Open the Pos app (POS) on the device the terminal is connected to. 2. Go to Settings. 3. Select "Point of Sales" → "Agent application" → "Nets Payment Terminal".
Is Enabled: Turns the Nets payment terminal on (1) or off (0). The default is 1, so the terminal is used by the checkout. Set to 0 if the terminal should temporarily not be used.
This group controls the log files the driver writes, and is typically only used during troubleshooting together with support.
Log file prefix: The name the driver's log files start with. The default is "baxilog".
Log file path: The folder where the log files are stored. The default is ".\logs\".
Log trace level: How detailed the log is written — the higher the number, the more verbose. The default is 3.
Log auto delete days: The number of days the log files are kept before they are deleted automatically. The default is 14.
The basic connection between the checkout and the terminal via a serial port. The values follow Nets' instructions for the specific terminal model.
Use Baxi.ini: When this is turned on (1), the driver reads its setup from the included baxi.ini file instead of the settings here. The default is 0 (the settings on this page are used).
Serial Driver: The name of the serial driver used towards the terminal. The default is "Nets".
Baud Rate: The speed of the serial connection to the terminal. The default is 57600.
COM Port: The number of the COM port the terminal is connected on. The default is 9. Adjusted to the port the terminal is actually on.
Device String: Identifies the terminal's hardware type to the driver. The default is "SAGEM Telium".
Power Cycle Check: Controls whether the driver checks for a restart/power loss of the terminal. The default is 0 (off).
Tid Supervision: Monitors the terminal's TID (Terminal ID). The default is 1 (on).
Print in bold: When this is turned on (1), the receipt text from the terminal is printed in bold. The default is 1.
Print as one receipt: When this is turned on (1), the terminal receipt and the sale receipt are combined into one print. The default is 0 (separate prints).
The connection out to Nets' transaction host, where the payment itself is approved. These values are provided by Nets and are normally not changed.
Host Port: The TCP port for Nets' host connection. The default is 9670.
Host Ip Address: The IP address of Nets' transaction host. The default is 91.102.24.111.
Only used in setups where the terminal traffic should be sent via a Message Router instead of directly to Nets. Leave the group untouched if you have not been told otherwise.
Message Router On: Turns routing via the Message Router on (1) or off (0). The default is 0, so the traffic goes directly.
Message Router Ip Address: The IP address of the Message Router when it is active. The default is 127.0.0.1.
Message Router Port: The TCP port for the Message Router. The default is 6000.
Technical attributes for the terminal device itself. They follow the terminal model's specifications and should normally not be changed — only edit here on instruction from Nets or support.
Device Attribute Vender Info Extended: Extended vendor and version info sent directly to the driver. The default is "BBS;Retail;02.13.01;57807343803;". Normally not changed.
Device Attribute Cutter Support: Whether the terminal printer supports automatic paper cutting. The default is 0 (off).
Device Attribute Printer Width: Number of characters per line on the terminal printer. The default is 24.
Device Attribute Display Width: Number of characters per line on the terminal's display. The default is 20.
Device Attribute Indicate Eot Transaction: Controls whether the driver signals the end of a transaction (End-Of-Transaction). The default is 1 (on).
Device Attribute Auto Get Customer Info: Whether customer information is retrieved automatically from the terminal. The default is 0 (off).
Device Attribute Terminal Ready: Driver flag for terminal-ready status. The default is 1.
Device Attribute Use Display Text Id: Whether display texts are selected via a text ID rather than free text. The default is 0 (off).
Device Attribute Use Extendend Local Mode: Enables the extended Local Mode protocol towards the terminal. The default is 1 (on).
Device Attribute Use Split Display Text: Whether the display text is split across several fields. The default is 0 (off).
Device Attribute Use 2K Buffer: Uses a 2 KB communication buffer towards the terminal. The default is 0 (off).
Device Tcp Server Use Bluetooth Tunnel: Tunnel the terminal communication over Bluetooth. The default is 0 (off).
Device Tcp Server Socket Listner: Enables a TCP socket listener for the terminal connection. The default is 0 (off).
Device Tcp Server Socket Listner Port: The port for the TCP socket listener. The default is 6001.
Device Tcp Server Socket ip address: The IP address for the socket connection to the terminal. The default is empty.
Device Always Use Total Amount In Extended Local Mode: Always sends the total amount in extended Local Mode. The default is 1 (on).
Prevent Loyalty From Purchase: Suppresses loyalty handling in the terminal's purchase flow. The default is 1 (on).
Device Multi Instance Use: Enables multiple terminal instances via a configuration file. The default is 0 (off).
Device Always Multi Instance Config File: The path to the configuration file for the multi-instance setup. The default is ".\multi\multi.config".
Device Client Id: The client ID for the instance. The placeholder `<cashregisterid>` is automatically replaced by the checkout's id. The default is `<cashregisterid>`.
Device Multi Currency Instance: Enables a multi-currency instance. The default is 0 (off).
Device Multi Currency Instance Path: The path to the multi-currency instance's configuration. The default is empty.
