Before beginning the terminal configuration process, make sure that the terminal is configured in the PAX Store. Creation of the PAX Store account is typically done as part of deployment prior to delivery to the merchant.
If the terminal is not configured in the PAX Store, you will be unable to complete the entire configuration process. Power down the terminal, contact PayFacto, and have the terminal serial number available.
Before you can connect the terminal to a vending device, you must connect the power cable, configure the network connections, and configure the software. To access the terminal’s configuration, you must first connect the power cable.
To connect the terminal power cable:
Turn the terminal over.
Insert the AC adapter’s MDB connector in the MDB-S port.
NOTE: Although it can only fit one way, make sure the release tab is positioned towards the top of the terminal.
Plug the male end of the AC cord into the AC adapter and plug into an AC outlet.
The terminal powers on, Android starts, and displays the terminal’s main screen.
The terminal does not have a dedicated power on/off button; it turns on automatically when you connect it to an AC power source and turns off when disconnected from a power source.

Due to the many different vending devices available, this guide does not include specific physical installation instructions.
The following points are some general installation guidelines to consider:
Use the supplied M4 nuts to secure the mounting bracket’s outermost openings to M4 screws on the inside wall of the vending device.
Prior to fitting the terminal in the vending device, securely connect the vending device’s digital I/O and MDB cables to the appropriate ports on the rear of the terminal.
If you are using an Ethernet cable to connect the terminal to a network, ensure that the cable is properly seated in the port.
Secure the terminal to the mounting bracket using the supplied M4 screws.
Insert the AC adapter’s MDB connector in the MDB-S port.
If it does not start automatically after you connect the AC power, touch the Gateway PayFacto icon on the main screen to start the application.
Refer to the PAX IM30 Quick Setup Guide (included in the box with the terminal) for general precautions and operational specifications.
Although the IM30 unattended payment processing terminal is configured to receive updates automatically, you may need to perform some maintenance after you install the terminal to the vending device.
The primary maintenance tasks that may be required after initial installation include:
Changing or configuring network connections
Changing the terminal's language settings
To perform any of these tasks, you must:
Disconnect the power to the terminal; either by disconnecting the MDB-S connector from the back of the terminal or by disconnecting the AC adapter cord.
Disconnect any cables from the terminal.
PayFacto uses a self-service terminal activation procedure designed to save time while also providing better security. The new activation procedure applies only to PAX payment terminals using the Android operating system. The new procedure applies to:
All new merchants activating their terminals for the first time
Any existing merchants adding new payment terminals
Any existing merchants receiving replacement terminals
After you configure the terminal's network connection(s) and power on the terminal, the procedure comprises of 2 parts:
NOTE: If you have multiple new payment terminals, you need to perform the activation procedure on each terminal individually.
After configuring the terminal’s network connection, you need to start the PayFacto payment application to complete the remaining steps. Terminal activation requires you to input a One Time Passcode (OTP) that PayFacto sends to the email address or telephone number registered to your account.
IMPORTANT! To receive the OTP on your phone, your registered phone number must be able to receive text messages (SMS). If you cannot receive text messages, select the email option to get the OTP.
To activate the payment terminal:
Touch the PAYMENT icon on the main screen. The Welcome To Your Payment Terminal screen appears.
NOTE: The terminal may need to download host and security parameters; this can take a few moments.
In the top right corner of the screen, your terminal ID (TID) appears; confirm that the number on the screen matches the TID on the label on the back of your terminal. The TID will not appear on your terminal screen after you complete the activation process.
IMPORTANT! If the TID does not match, call PayFacto immediately.
Touch anywhere on the screen to begin the activation process.
Touch the desired option to receive the OTP.
Phone Number
Touch the Send Code button.
IMPORTANT! The OTP code is valid for 15 minutes after you receive it. If you wait more than 15 minutes to enter the OTP, the terminal will display an error and you will have to request a new OTP.
If you select Email, look for a message from noreply@payfacto.com.
After you receive the 6-digit activation code, use the on-screen keypad to enter the code on the terminal screen.
If you enter the code incorrectly, a red exclamation appears to indicate that the code is incorrect.
Re-enter the code, or touch Resend Code to obtain a new OTP.
After you enter the OTP correctly, the payment application displays the Set Administrative Password screen to configure your terminal passwords.
To prevent unauthorized individuals from changing the terminal’s configuration, you need to set the Administrator and Merchant passwords. These passwords restrict access to certain functions on the terminal.
When setting your passwords, you must respect the following parameters:
Passwords must be 6 characters long
The Administrator and Merchant passwords cannot be the same (can’t match)
You cannot use the same digit 6 times consecutively (for example: 111111 or 777777)
You cannot use 6 consecutive numbers, either ascending or descending (for example: 123456 or 987654)
To set your Administrator and Merchant passwords:
On the Set Administrative Password screen, use the on-screen keypad to enter a 6-digit password in the Admin Password field and touch the Next icon on the keypad.
On the Confirm Administrative Password screen, re-enter the password in the Admin Password field and touch the Next icon on the keypad.
On the Set Merchant Password screen, use the on-screen keypad to enter a 6-digit password in the Merchant Password field and touch the Next icon on the keypad.
On the Confirm Merchant Password screen, re-enter the password in the Merchant Password field and touch the Next icon on the keypad.
