Installing PC-EFTPOS drivers

Control has an integrated EFTPOS feature that communicates with the PC-EFTPOS drivers for Ingenico EFTPOS equipment.

The pinpad MUST be configured to work with the PC-EFTPOS drivers. Standard units handed out from the bank will NOT have this feature.

The POS terminal (that the pinpad is connected) can be running either Linux or Windows.

The installation of the eftpos software , is either on Windows or Linux.

Terminology

POS Terminal	The PC that the Pinpad is directly connected to. This is usually the terminal that the sales transaction was performed on. It should be noted that most of the EFTPOS intelligence and settings are stored here.
Pinpad	The device that swipes the customer's card and asks for the PIN number.
Eftpos Modem	The phone line modem that rings the bank's server and opens up the link to the bank. Or a internal 3G model that talk to the bank.
CONTROL server	The computer from which CONTROL is being run on.
PC-EFTPOS TCP/IP driver	The piece of software on the POS Terminal that allows the Pinpad Driver to commnuicate over a network
Eftpos Server	The piece of software on the POS Terminal that talks to the bank via the Eftpos Modem
Eftpos Docket Printer	The Ingenico thermal docket printer. It's only purpose is to print EFTPOS receipts. Not really necessary as CONTROL dockets should have EFTPOS details printed on them.

Windows(standard way of install)

The terminal should have:

the Pinpad drivers(EFTCLT.exe) come from linkly installer
the Eftpos Server program (EFTSRV.exe) come from linkly installer
the PC-EFTPOS TCP/IP drivers (eftcltcp.exe) https://customers.creativecomputing.com.au/tjmnq/

The CONTROL server will talk to the Pinpad driver via the Ingenico TCP/IP drivers. The drivers then talk to the Pinpad via the serial port. If the Pinpad does not have a built-in modem, it will need to use the Eftpos Server program to communicate with the bank or an upstream Eftpos server.

To install,

Run the install programs (follow instructions provided by the bank down to the letter. Don't plug in anything until instructions say so).
Create a rule in the firewall to allow incoming connections to TCP port 6005

NB: There are instances when PC-Client is disappearing after the reboot. You should run NoConfig_PC-EFTPOS-setup.exe from URL http://www.pceftpos.com.au/files/releasecd/

Linux(only toodyay , morris and sons)

Make sure libXp rpm is already installed
```
# yum install libXp
```
Download Sun's Java version 1.4.2_01. This MUST be the one from Sun Microsystems and not the one from Gnu.
```
# scp sam.crecom.com.au:/u2/programs/j2re-1_4_2_01-linux-i586.rpm .
```
Install Java
```
# rpm -i j2re-1_4_2_01-i586.rpm
```

Copy the eftpos tarball from sam

# scp sam.crecom.com.au:/u/ccdev/eftpos/neweftposinstall.tgz .

Unpack the tarball
```
# tar xvzf neweftposinstall.tgz
```
Copy the drivers into place
```
# cp -r ./u/eftpos /u/
```
Find the location of the java executable
```
# type java
```

Edit the /u/eftpos/eftclt/run script

# Ensure that the driver script knows where the java executable is. /usr/local/java/bin/java .....

Run the eftpos client driver script. Nothing will happen. If anything, it will give errors
```
# /u/eftpos/eftlclt/run
```
Check the eftpos client error file
```
# tail /u/eftpos/eftclt/eftpos.log
```
Look for errors relating to the file javax.com.properties and where Java expects the file to be. In the following examples, we will assume that place to be /usr/share/jvm/java-1.4.2/jre/lib

Copy javax.com.properties to where Java wants it to be

# cp ./usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/lib/javax.com.properties /usr/share/jvm/java-1.4.2/jre/lib/

Add the shop user and ccc to the groups lock and uucp. Edit /etc/group
```
uucp:x:14:uucp,ccc,shop
lock:x:54:ccc,shop
```

Copy the RxTx serial and comm modules for Java

# cp -r ./usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/lib/ext/ /usr/share/jvm/java-1.4.2/jre/lib/
# cp -r ./usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/lib/i386/librxtx* /usr/share/jvm/java-1.4.2/jre/lib/

Run the eftpos driver script, test and troubleshoot
```
# /u/eftpos/eftclt/run
```

Add the following line to /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients

...
# Add this line
exec /u/eftpos/eftclt/run &
exec fvwm

If customer wants to use pinpad printer (like when printing A4 invoices):

During driver install, there will be a tick box "use pinpad printer for eftpos transactions" that is not ticked by default. Ticking this box will set up the API not to send eftpos related print jobs to Control and will be printed using the built in printer.

How to test if PC-EFTPOS connection is working from Control

Close all instances of sieat.
Open up a terminal or xterm on client's session.
Run our internal test program "igcomin".
Select "Control Panel". This should talk to TCP/IP client, and then eftclt.exe and bring up on top of everything the PC-EFTPOS control panel.
If this works, that means Control can talk to the eftpos client.
