# Assign a Payment Terminal

### Assign a Payment Terminal to POS Workstation

Each payment terminal using the SecurePay module needs to be assigned to a POS Workstation. Note that each POS workstation can only drive one payment terminal, therefore the number of payment terminals using the SecurePay module shouldn't exceed the number of POS workstations.

The following procedure is required to assign a specific payment terminal to a specific POS workstation in Maitre'D.
