Setting Up a New POS Device

Set up a new POS device in the Store Portal's Device Master.

Use this when you need to add a new POS device — POSAPP, Payment Terminal, or Mobile — to Device Master in the Store Portal.

1

Open Device Master

Hover over Account Admin, then select Device Master. The Device Master window lists existing POS devices and their statuses.

2

Start a new device

Select the New Device icon, then select New Device. The New Device Setup window opens.

3

Choose the device type and serial number

Select a Device Type and enter the device serial number. Available types include POSAPP (Customer POS Application), Payment Terminal, and Mobile. Select POSAPP for devices not listed in Device Master.

4

Assign a PWC_PE TID

Select a PWC_PE TID when Terminal Management is enabled. The list shows available terminals; otherwise the device uses 0001. Create terminals before assigning them.

If the Client ID is 18500010001 and the PWC_PE TID is 0014, transactions display Client ID 18500010014.

5

Name the device

Enter the optional LANE and Group Name (or select a group from Current Groups), then enter a Terminal Name. PAYware Connect creates a unique Device Key. Each transaction includes the device serial number and Device Key.

6

Configure VeriShield and ByPass/EMV

Select Enable VeriShield when applicable. Select Enable Device for ByPass/EMV when applicable — this option appears only for accounts configured for the ByPass/EMV payment engine. ByPass has reached end of life for all processors except ADS.

7

Set additional configuration and receipt content

Expand Additional Configuration, if available. Add receipt content in the Parameters table, if needed — you can add a disclaimer, header, or footer. Enter up to 42 characters per line in the parameter's Value field.

8

Save

Select Save to create the device and return to Device Master.
