Protocol

This field is populated with the communication protocol the device is using to connect to the server, a list is below:

  • Serial (RS-232 & VCOM/USB)
  • USBHID
  • TCPIP (<Address>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</Address> must match the IP address defined in the configuration of your PIN pad)

Port

For Serial, this will be the physical COM port your device is connected to. Otherwise, it will be a virtual COM port which can be found within Device Manager > Ports(COM & LPT) > Select the Payment Device > Port Settings > Advanced... > COM Port Number.

For TCPIP, this is the port your device is connected over.

URL

This URL is dependent on whether you will be connecting to our Test or Live platform.

  • Test: https://testtms.cardeasexml.com
  • Live: https://tms.cardeasexml.com

 

Client

Setting up the client.config.xml file (only in our sample Clients)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ChipDnaClient version="1.0.0">
 <TerminalId>*Insert Terminal ID*</TerminalId>
 <Server>127.0.0.1:1869</Server>
</ChipDnaClient>

Server

This field should match the IP Address and Port specified in the Socket field of the chipdna.config.xml.
