This page describes the general settings for the Nets payment terminal. The settings control how the POS system's local agent (CRS Agent) communicates with the terminal via the serial connection, and how the terminal receipt is printed.
The settings are forwarded to the Nets/Baxi driver and follow its documentation. They are technical fine-tuning that is normally only changed when setting up a new terminal or in agreement with support. The terminal itself is activated under Nets payment terminal. If you are unsure about a value, contact support.
Several of the fields are yes/no values specified as numbers: 0 means off, and 1 means on.
1. Open Financial from the hamburger menu in the top left of Sapera.
2. Go to Setup, then Settings.
3. Select Point of Sales, then Agent application, then Nets Payment Terminal and finally General.
Use Baxi.ini: Determines whether the driver should read its configuration from a separate Baxi.ini file instead of from the settings on this page. When it is turned on (1), the other connection fields below are ignored, and the driver uses the file's contents instead. The default is 0 (off), so the settings on this page are used.
Serial Driver: The name of the serial driver used to communicate with the terminal. The default is Nets. Normally not changed.
Baud Rate: The speed of the serial connection to the terminal. The value must match the terminal's setting, otherwise no connection is established. The default is 57600.
COM Port: The number of the COM port on the POS PC that the terminal is connected to. Must match the port the terminal is actually connected to. The default is 9.
Device String: The identification string for the terminal device, which tells the driver which terminal type is connected. The default is SAGEM Telium.
Power Cycle Check: Determines whether the driver checks whether the terminal has been restarted (power cycled). Turn on (1) in setups where it is necessary to detect a restart of the terminal. The default is 0 (off).
Tid Supervision: Determines whether the terminal's id (TID) is supervised. The default is 1 (on).
Print in bold: Determines whether the text from the terminal is printed in bold on the receipt. The default is 1 (on).
Print as one receipt: Determines whether the terminal's receipt is printed together with the sales receipt as one combined slip instead of two separate printouts. The default is 0 (off), so the terminal receipt and the sales receipt are printed separately.
