MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

URL
URL to which the HTTP post will be sent.
Transmission timeout
Amount of time that the controller waits for an HTTP response for a transmitted record. If the
response is not received within this period, this is considered as a failed transmission.
Failover
Use this box to define one or more backup server profiles for the current primary server profile.
Use these backup servers
Lists all backup server profiles for this primary server profile. Backup profiles are used in the
order that they appear in the list.
Available backup servers
Lists all server profiles of type backup.
Retries per server
Number of times that a record will be retransmitted before the next profile is tried.
NOTE: This parameter also sets the number of retries on the primary.
Delay between retries
Amount of time to wait between retransmitting a record.
Security
Encryption and authentication can be used to increase the transmission security of billing records.
HTTP authentication and secure HTTP using SSLv3 are supported. Also, to make sure that a billing
record has not been altered, a secret key, shared between the billing server and the controller,
can be defined and used to produce a cryptographic signature of the billing record.
Secret key
Specify the secret key that will be used to generate an encryption signature using HMAC-SHA-1.
The signature is generated using the entire contents of the billing record. (The signature field
is empty when the signature is calculated.)
Use HTTPS
When enabled, secure HTTP using SSLv3 is used to transmit records to all servers.
Validate server certificate
When enabled, the controller will validate the external billing server certificate. For this to be
successful, you must install the billing server CA certificate in the Trusted CA certificate store
on the Security > Certificate stores page.
Use HTTP authentication
Enable this option if the billing server requires a username and password.
Fault tolerance
Fault tolerance settings control how many times each billing record is retransmitted.
Retransmit until successful
When enabled, the controller will never skip a record due to transmission failure. Retransmission
is continuously retried on the primary server and all backup servers until successful.
Enabling this option may cause log entries to be lost if a record fails to be transmitted before
the log wraps around. To avoid losing records, enable the Suspend operation of payment
system when log is full option under Log settings on the Controller >> Public access > Billing
records page.
