Step 3: Pair POS and TranCloud

Prior to pairing TranCloud and your point of sale, make sure that your Trancloud device is connected to power using the included TranCloud power supply.

Configure your Point of Sale using the DeviceID (located on the back of the TranCloud device), the corresponding Merchant IDs (MIDS), and Terminal IDS (TIDS).  If using Wi-Fi or Ethernet connected PIN Pads, configure your POS with the corresponding IP addresses and port numbers from Step 2.  If you need help, contact your POS provider for specific instructions or consult the PIN Pad configuration menu (see Step 2 above).

Step 4: Download PIN Pad settings

Use the “EMV Param Download” to load pre-configured PIN Pad settings.  Consult your point-of-sale provider for specific instructions.

Note:  This step will look different for each POS.
