This article describes the device settings under "Device" for the Nets payment terminal. The settings determine the terminal's device properties, printer and display setup as well as a number of advanced modes for communication with the terminal.
The settings are used by the local agent (CRS Agent) on the PC the terminal is connected to, and are forwarded to the Nets/Baxi driver as device attributes. The terminal itself is activated and given its overall setup under Nets Payment Terminal. The values follow the Nets/Baxi driver's documentation and should normally not be changed without guidance. Contact support if you are unsure. Numeric fields are specified as 0 = off and 1 = on, unless otherwise noted.
1. Open the menu in the top-left corner of the Pos and select "Settings".
2. Go to "Point of Sales" and on to "Agent application" and "Nets Payment Terminal", where you select the "Device" tab.
