LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial Quick Installation Guide ™ Rev.
1 Getting Started Congratulations on your purchase of a LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial. PayLink-IP devices securely connect payment terminals to payment processors over an Ethernet/TCP/IP connection. Any payment terminal that can transmit transaction information over a POTS port can send its information to the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial. The LAVA PayLink-IP/DIal establishes an SSL-secured connection to the payment processor, places the serial data in a TCP/IP wrapper and sends it out its Ethernet port.
2 Hardware Setup 1. Connect the power supply to the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial and to AC power.The power (red) LED will light to indicate that the unit is receiving power. 2. Connect an Ethernet cross-over cable to the Ethernet RJ-45 jack of the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial. Attach the other end of the crossover network cable to a host PC directly. Network status is indicated by two LEDs on the RJ-45 connector. The left (yellow) LED indicates network activity.
3 3. Open a web browser to the IP address of the PayLink-IP and configure the device as described in the "Configuration" section of this manual. 4. After configuring the LAVA PayLink-IPDial, attach it to your network and connect a payment terminal to its serial port. Serial port activity is indicated by two status LEDs per port.The yellow LED lights when the serial port is transmitting data.The green LED lights when the serial port is receiving data.
Configuration 4 Configuration consists of the following: A. Configuring network settings B. Host configuration C. Protocol configuration D. Password selection E. Upgrading software A. Configuring network settings PayLink-IP devices installed on your network will need unique IP addresses.These are set by using a web browser. The factory default network settings for the PayLink-IP are: IP address: Subnet mask: Gateway address: Name: Workgroup: DHCP detection: 192.168.0.35 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.
5 Opening screen Click "Configure" if no password has been set, or enter the password for the PayLink you are configuring, and then click "Configure." The Configuration menu will open.
6 Choose the "Configure the LAVA PayLink-IP on my network" link. In the configuration screen that appears, enter the network settings you wish for that PayLink-IP. Once the new values are entered and accepted, the PayLink-IP will reboot to implement the new network settings.
7 Device name Use this field to supply a “friendly” name for the LAVA PayLinkIP/Dial device being configured.The friendly name is optional, and can be chosen to provide a conveniently-remembered name for the unit. IP address The IP address for the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial will identify the device on the LAN on which it is located. Any conventional IP address can be used.The LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial ships with its default IP address as 192.168.0.
8 “DHCP enabled” checkbox has been set.The LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial will then act as a DHCP client and obtain its IP address from the DHCP server on its LAN that first leases an IP address to the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial. Assigned local TCP port Use this dialog box to change the TCP port number assigned to the serial port of the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial.
9 B. Host configuration The PayLink-IP/Dial POTS port can be configured through a web browser.The settings for the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial's host connection should match the requirements of the hosting server used by the payment terminal. Host Configuration The Host Side configuration dialog provides settings for a Primary Host, a Secondary host, and two additional user-defined hosts. Each host can be configured or SDLC or asynchronous communications.
10 Configuring the connection for SDLC communications consists of supplying basic modem communication parameters. SDLC Configuration Configuring the connection for asynchronous communications consists of supplying basic modem communication parameters as well as terminal settings that define the data format and message negotiation protocols for the terminal/server connection. Details on these settings can be found in the "PayLink-IP_Dial manual Axx.pdf" file on the installation diskette.
11 C. Protocol configuration The PayLink-IP/Dial Host Side Configuration screen has options for configuring SDLC or Asynchronous links, and the related message formatting protocols. for a variety of payment processing hosts. Users will need to supply the addressing information suitable to their specific payment processing hosts. Each host connection can have a unique protocol configuration.
12 Protocol Configuration (ASYNC) Protocol Configuration (SDLC)
13 By default, the LAVA PayLink-IP/Dial's connection to the payment processor is set up using an SSL Ver. 3.0 link. Disabling this setting will set data over an unsecured TCP/IP link. By default, two host configurations (primary and secondary) are configured to the most common settings.These can be changed to suit specific needs, and additional strings can be defined for other host interfaces. D. Password selection The PayLink-IP/Dial password configuration screen can be accessed through a web browser.
14 Password Selection E. Upgrading Software New versions of PayLink-IP software and firmware may be found at www.lavalink.com.
