The steps for Moneris Semi-Terminal

Physical setup of IOT Box

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following:

• An IoT Box, with its power adapter.
• A computer or tablet with an up-to-date web browser
• A running SaaS or Odoo instance with the Point of Sale and IoT apps installed
• A local network setup with DHCP (this is the default setting). Please set up a static IP for your IOT Box. You can do this from your Router Configuration.
• An RJ45 Ethernet Cable (optional, WiFi is built in)
• Any of the supported hardware (receipt printer, barcode scanner, cash drawer, payment terminal, scale, customer display, etc.). The list of supported hardware can be found on the POS Hardware page

Set up:

To connect hardware to the PoS, the first step is to connect an IoT Box to your database. For this, follow this:

Connect an IoT Box to your database

Install the Internet of Things (IoT) App on your Odoo Database.

Go in the IoT App and click on Connect on the IoT Boxes page.

Follow the steps to connect your IoT Box.

Ethernet Connection

• Connect to the IoT Box all the devices that have to be connected with cables (ethernet, usb devices, etc.).
• Power on the IoT Box.
• Read the Pairing Code from a screen or a receipt printer connected to the IoT Box.

• Input the Pairing Code and click on the Pair button.

WiFi Connection

• Power on the IoT Box
• Copy the token

• Connect to the IoT Box WiFi Network (make sure there is no ethernet cable plugged in your computer).

• You will be redirected to the IoT Box Homepage (if it doesn’t work, connect to the IP address of the box). Give a name to your IoT Box (not required) and paste the token, then click on next.

Tip

If you are on Runbot, do not forget to add the -all or -base in the token (e.g. this token http://375228-saas-11-5-iot-f3f920.runbot16.odoo.com|4957098401 should become http://375228-saas-11-5-iot-f3f920-all.runbot16.odoo.com|4957098401).

Choose the WiFi network you want to connect with (enter the password if there is one) and click on Submit. Wait a few seconds before being redirected to your database.

You should now see the IoT Box.

NOTE:

Please make sure you have set up a static IP for IOT Box so that the static IP does now change after setup. This static IP will be used in Moneris Terminal Odoo Configuration.

Moneris Terminal Physical Setup

Moneris Core Semi-Integrated is a function that allows you to easily integrate your Moneris terminal with your point of sale (POS) application creating a secure and convenient payment environment for you and your customers. Note: This guide is meant to be used in conjunction with documentation from your POS provider.

Features

With Moneris Core Semi-Integrated, you can use your secure PCI-compliant terminals to: allow customers to enter their payment card information by tapping, inserting, or swiping their card allow customers to enter a tip on the terminal, including tipping on the final dollar amount or on the pre-tax subtotal (when configured).

Setting up Core Semi-Integrated On your terminal

Follow these steps to enable Core Semi-Integrated On your Moneris terminal and to configure the integration settings to meet the needs of your business. The instructions begin at the main menu.

If you do not see the main menu, review the Using your Terminal Guide to understand terminal navigation.

6. Tap the Integration Method field, then tap Ethernet,or Wi-Fi. For more information about these integration methods, refer to Semi-integration methods on page 4, as well as Available integration options by terminal on page 4.

If you are using a wired terminal (V400c or Desk/5000), choose Ethernet and go to step 7. If you are using a wireless terminal (V400m or Move/5000), the default value is Wi-Fi. Select Wi-Fi if not already selected, and then go to step 9. Important: Cellular (4G) communication must be disabled. If your wireless terminal switches to a cellular network, the connection to your POSwill be lost. To disable cellular communication and to enableWi-Ficommunication, refer to Setting up a Wi-Fi connection on your terminal on page.

7. You selected Ethernet. To implement Ethernet integration, your Moneris terminal and your POS must be physically connected by an Ethernet network.

a. If you haven’t already done so, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the multi-port box of your Moneris terminal.Connect the other end to your network infrastructure or directly to your POS, as applicable.

b. On the screen, tap the Listening Port field and change the default port number if required.

c. Tap the Print on terminal toggle to disable/enable support for printing receipts on the terminal. This option is enabled by default. If you disable it, all receipts will print on your POS printer.

d. Tap Save.

e. Go to step 10.

Note:

Please note down the Listening Port used over here. This will be used in Odoo Configuration for Moneris Semi-Integration.

9. You selected Wi-Fi. To implement Wi-Fi integration, your Moneris terminal and your POS must be on the same Wi-Fi network. To complete the integration, follow these steps.

a. Tap the Listening Port field and change the default port number if required.

b. Tap the Print on terminal toggle to disable/enable support for printing receipts on the terminal. This option is enabled by default. If you disable it, all receipts will print on your POS printers.

c. Tap Save.

d. Go to step 10.

10. After you tap Save, the terminal returns to the Application Settings menu. The “Settings Saved” notification also appears. 10.Press the menu key on the keypad to return to the main menu.On the Move/5000 and Desk/5000 terminals, press the menu key.On the V400m and V400c terminals, press the pound key.

The terminal returns to the Main menu. Note: When the terminal is in semi-integrated mode, the Transactions icon no longer appears on the Main menu. All transactions are initiated from your POS.

12. To toggle back to standalone mode, as required: a.On the Main menu, swipe left to view the second screen.
b. Tap Standalone

Connect Moneris terminals to ethernet

Even if you’re already using Moneris, your terminals are likely to be set up using a dynamic IP address. Please have your IT manager set up a static IP for your Moneris terminal using the following steps.

Restarting IOT Box and Updating the drivers

Restarting IOT Box:

IOT Box can be restarted in two ways:

1. Power off the IOT Box and start again.
2. SSh to IOT Box and restart the server.
   • Open Cmd Prompt(Windows) or Terminal(Linux)
   • Write command:
     1. ssh pi@IOT_IP_ADDRESS
     2. Password: raspberry
   • After login, restart the odoo service in raspberry pi:
     Systemctl –user restart odoo

Updating the drivers:

Loading drivers and listing connected devices

The IoT Box needs to load device drivers in order to communicate with hardware devices. In this recipe, we will see how you can load drivers and get a list of connected devices.

Getting ready

Make sure the IoT Box is on and you have connected it with the same WiFi network as the computer with the Odoo instance is connected to.

How to do it…

Perform The following steps to load device drivers into the IoT Box:

1. Open the IoT Box home page and click on the drivers list button at the bottom:

2. The drivers list button will redirect you to the Drivers list page, where you will find the Load drivers button. Click on the button to load drivers:

You will see MonerisDriver.py also loaded in The drivers list.

3. Go back to the IoT Box home page. Here, you will see a list of connected devices:

After performing these steps, the IoT Box will be ready with the devices you specified and you can start using devices in your applications.

How it works…

The IoT Box is not just limited to the Community edition. You can use it like the PoSBox…
