Adyen Local Communications

• The Local communication setup for Adyen device enables communication between the SmartPOS and the Adyen EFTPOS terminal over the local internet (WiFi) network
• As the communication between the Bepoz SmartPOS and the EFTPOS terminal is over the local network, the communication is encrypted for data security
• The Local Communications must not be confused with 4G failover functionality of the terminal
• Note: When Adyen device is configured in Backoffice only for Local Comms, then it doesn't support 4G failover as SmartPOS sends the payment request directly to the terminal not to the Adyen Cloud

Configure Adyen Local Communication

• To configure Adyen interface to use local internet network, complete the following steps
• Within BackOffice, navigate to 'System Setup' menu option from the side menu and select 'Venue, Stores & Till'
• Select the desired Till within the desired Store where the Adyen EFTPOS device will be connected to
• Click on 'Add New Device' which displays a list of existing device(s) configured, select 'Blank Device' and click on 'Select Device' option on the header
• This will display the 'Device and Interfaces Maintenance' screen, set the below fields as following
• Device Name: As desired
• Device Type: EFTPOS
• External DLL Name: Eftposnet45.Dll
• Class Name: Adyen
• Click on the 'Settings' button which will display the Device Options form
• The Device Options form has two tabs namely General Settings and Local Communication Setup
• The General Settings tab contains 'flags' which control the behavior of the Adyen EFTPOS terminal when using either Cloud communications or Local Communications and the fields
• Note: If the 'Terminal Endpoint' value is set in General Setup, the SmartPOS will attempt to connect to Adyen Cloud not to the EFTPOS terminal
• To configure the connection credentials for local communications,  click on the 'Local Communications Setup' tab
• IP Address: This is the IP address of the EFTPOS terminal
• Note: It is highly recommended to have the EFTPOS terminal configured to a static IP address since any change in EFTPOS IP address will require the IP address to updated in Device settings as well
• Use Local Comms as Primary Connection: When Adyen EFTPOS is configured for both Cloud and Local Comms, this flag helps to set communication channel between Bepoz and EFTPOS terminal
• When turned On, Bepoz communicates with the EFTPOS terminal directly using the local IP Address configured in the device settings
• When turned Off, Bepoz by default communicates with the EFTPOS terminal via the Adyen cloud and uses the Local comms as a fail-over communication channel
• Note: This flag option is only available from v4.7.3.0 & above
• Key Identifier: Provided by the Oolio Team
• Key Passphrase: Provided by the Oolio Team
• Key Version: Provided by the Oolio Team
• Click on the "Save' button and then 'Ok' button to save the configuration
• Once configured, to use the 'Local Communications', please ensure to run 'SmartPOS.exe' as an administrator to install encryption certificates to support communication between SmartPOS and Adyen EFTPOS terminal over the local WIFI network
