The wireless network (for wireless payment terminals) needs to be able to communicate with the POS System.
Each payment terminal needs access to the Internet.

Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

The .NET Framework (pronounced as "dot net") is a software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 Service Pack 1 is required before the STPISecure installer can be used to install the STPISecure client or other components, such as the RTI-SIPA plugin.

Enabling Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 10

On Windows 10, starting with version 1809, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is included as a standard Windows feature and enabled by default. However, older versions of Windows 10, Enterprise or IoT editions, could be missing this essential component. Here is the procedure to check whether .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is installed and how to enable it on Windows 10:

Click on the Windows 10 Start button and type Control Panel.
The Control Panel app should appear as a search result. Click on Open.

Within the Control Panel app, click on Programs.

Under Programs and Features, select Turn Windows features on or off.

The Windows Features list will appear.

Look for the feature called .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0).

If this feature is not listed, install .NET Framework manually. (See below)

If you see a black square in this checkbox, .NET Framework 3.5 is already enabled and no further action is required.

If the checkbox is blank, enable it.

NOTE: The black square in the check box means that the feature itself is enabled, but that some optional components are disabled. The optional components are not required for STPISecure or RTI-SIPA, so leave them disabled.

Click OK on the Windows Features list. This will close the list and apply any changes.
Files may be copied and you may be required to restart the PC.

Installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 manually

For versions of Windows prior to Windows 10 1809, or for some older Enterprise or IoT editions, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 may need to be downloaded and installed manually.
