After you secure the T bracket to the terminal, you must insert the cables. This procedure explains how to install and secure the AC adapter and Ethernet cables; if you have additional cables, connect them to the appropriate port and use the same method to secure them in place.

To install and secure the cables:

1. Beginning with the AC adapter, inserting it in the terminal's cable guide on the left and connect the adapter to the Power port.

1. Insert the Ethernet cable in the terminal's cable guide on the right and connect it to the LAN port.

1. When the cables are properly seated in their ports, gently pull on the cables to remove any excess cable that is higher than the plane of the T bracket.

1. Place the 3-hole metal bracket over the cables, aligned with the screw holes in the T bracket and secure it in place using a Phillips head screwdriver to insert the two short screws.

1. Turn the terminal over and power on the terminal. The completed assembly should resemble the following:

Introduction

This guide will explain how to install the cable attachment bracket for the PAX A80 terminal (part number AZP-310006) designed to prevent the accidental disconnection of cables from the terminal.

The topics covered in this guide include:

Preparing the Terminal

Before you can install the cable attachment to the PAX A80 terminal, you must prepare the terminal by doing the following:

1. Power off the terminal by pressing and holding the red X key on the physical keypad.

1. Turn the terminal over and remove all cables from the terminal's communication ports.

Installing the T Bracket

The A80 cable attachment is anchored by a T bracket that keeps the attached cables from being accidentally disconnected .

To install the T bracket on the terminal:

1. With the terminal turned over, insert the T bracket into the guides on the underside of the A80 terminal.

1. Slide the T bracket up by pushing it from the bottom towards the top of the terminal.

Securing the T Bracket to the Terminal

To prevent the T bracket and cables from sliding off the terminal, you must next secure the T bracket to the terminal.

To secure the T bracket to the terminal:

1. Place the short metal bracket at the top of the T bracket and insert the long screw at the opening near the top of the terminal.

1. When the end of the long screw comes out of the bottom of the T bracket, place the metal washer over the screw and then thread the thumb nut onto the end of the screw.

1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the screw securely (but not excessively) into the thumb nut.

Overview

Purpose of this document

This document will cover the configuration required to operate SecureTable using the Maitre’D direct integration to the STPI client.

SecureTable

SecureTable is a universal middleware platform that provides an EMV-Compliant, Pay at the Table (PATT) processing solution that can be connected to a POS (Point of Sale) system. The solution can work in standalone mode as well as integrated to a Point of Sale (POS) system such as Maitre’D, Veloce, Squirrel, Aloha and Micros among other.

“Pull” architecture

SecureTable uses a “Pull” architecture. This means that a payment terminal using SecureTable can initiate the transaction process by Pulling check data from the POS system. In other words, after the guest checks are printed and handed to customers, there is no need for the server to walk back to the POS workstation to apply payments and close guest checks. All payments, including credit, debit and cash, can be applied at the table side, and checks are closed automatically.

By comparison, a traditional "Push" architecture is a system where the transaction would be initiated from the POS system, and check data pushed to the payment terminal. In a table-service restaurant, this process often required the customers to get up and walk to the POS workstation to insert their payment card and enter their PIN using a tethered payment terminal.

Accurate payment reporting

The integration of SecureTable with various POS systems allows the payment terminal to retrieve guest check data from the POS System. Once a payment has been processed by the payment terminal, SecureTable sends the payment data back to the POS System for reporting purposes. Payment amounts, tip amounts and card brand used are all automatically transmitted to the POS system to allow for accurate reporting.

Compatible with SecurePay

SecureTable and SecurePay can both be used on the same POS system. This allows merchants to use any combination of stationary Pay-at-the-Counter terminals and wireless Pay-at-the-Table terminals. SecureTable and SecurePay share a similar user interface which provides a consistent user experience for customers and employees.

Compatibility with third-party payment terminals

If a third-party solution with tethered (wired) payment terminals is already in place and integrated to the POS system, SecureTable can still be used without worry. A configurable table-locking or invoice-locking mechanism prevents accidentally accessing guest checks that are being processed by a payment terminal through SecureTable. This means that establishments can, for example, use wireless payment terminals with SecureTable in the dining room while using tethered payment terminals for the cashier station, bar, pickup counter and drive-through windows.

Full-featured solution through direct integration

With a direct integration, Maitre’D communicates directly with SecureTable’s STPI client through a secure socket connection without using drop-files. This allows Maitre’D to take advantage of all the features offered by SecureTable, without the limitations imposed by using the former TPI client middleware.

Disabled. This option is not available because it is not compatible with the SecureTablePay protocol.

Partial Invoice Number

Enable this option to allow the payment terminal to retrieve checks by entering only the last 4 digits of the check number. If this option is disabled, the full check number will be required to retrieve checks.

Validate Employee

Enable this option to force the validation of the employee number entered at the payment terminal. With this option enabled, only the employee who owns the table associated with the printed check will be able to access that check from the payment terminal. If this option is disabled, any employee will be able to access any checks from the payment terminal.

Locking mode

Select the locking mode that will be used when accessing checks from the payment terminal. Two locking modes are available:

Table Locking

Select the table locking mode to lock the entire table as soon as a check is accessed by a payment terminal with SecureTable. For example, if you have 4 printed checks on Table #99, accessing any check from table #99 from a payment terminal with SecureTable will lock all checks from table #99. This prevents any of these checks from being accessed by other payment terminals or POS workstations.

Invoice Locking

Select the invoice locking option to lock only the check being accessed, without locking the entire table. This allows other checks on a given table to be closed simultaneously with other payment terminals or from POS workstations.

Shared Folder

This option is not available because it is not compatible with the SecureTablePay protocol.

1. Click OK to save changes and close the options window.

Note on locking (Table locking or invoice locking)

As soon as a table or invoice is accessed from a payment terminal with SecureTable, it is locked. This is done to prevent accidental double payment or double processing of invoices. While it is possible to override table or invoice locking, it is not recommended to do so. Unlocking a table or invoice in the middle of it being processed can cause invoices to remain open after being paid and discrepancies in reporting.

STPI Secure Shortcuts

After the STPISecure installation process, a folder called STPI Shortcuts was created on your Windows Desktop. This folder contains the shortcut that will be used to start the STPI Client software.

Setup the shortcut to run with Administrative privileges

To run correctly, the STPI Secure Client needs to run with Windows Administrative privileges. To achieve this:

1. From the Windows desktop, open the folder called STPI Shortcuts by double-clicking on it.

1. Two shortcuts allow you to start the STPI Client. You can use either STPIClient (Hidden) or STPIClient. Select the shortcut which better meets your desired use case:

STPIClient

This shortcut makes the STPI Client run with the command prompt window visible on the screen. This takes up space on the screen and on the Windows taskbar, but allows you to see all the operations going through the STPI Client in real-time.

STPIClient (Hidden)

This shortcut allows the STPI Client to run with the command prompt window hidden from view. This frees up space on the screen and Windows taskbar, but the operations going through the STPI Client are not visible.

1. Right-click the shortcut called STPIClient or STPIClient (Hidden), and select the Properties option.

1. The STPIClient or STPIClient (Hidden) shortcut's properties page opens to the Shortcut tab. Click the Advanced... button.

1. Activate the Run as administrator checkbox and click OK.

1. You will be back to the STPIClient (or STPIClient (Hidden)) shortcut's properties page. Click OK to close it.

With this setup, the STPI Secure client will always start with administrative privileges whenever you use this shortcut.

Make the STPIClient start automatically as Windows starts

You can add a copy of the STPIClient or STPIClient (Hidden) shortcut to the Windows startup folder to force the STPI client to start automatically as Windows starts. Here is the procedure to follow with Windows 10:

1. Make sure that hidden files and folders are visible:

   a. From Windows explorer, click on the View menu and make sure that the Hidden Items option is selected from the Show/Hide section.

1. Browse to the following folder:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Generic Media Type mapping for SecureTable or SecurePay

Before you begin

This configuration is optional for most merchants. Before proceeding, make sure that individual media type mappings are created for each accepted card brand.

A generic media type mapping may be required to cover the rare cases where a customer may pay with a card that is accepted by the merchant, but not already configured as a mapping in Maitre'D media types. If a dedicated media type mapping does not already exist, the payment would be recorded against the main media type, generally called "CREDIT/DEBIT". The goal of the generic mapping is to have such payments recorded against a media type with a more meaningful name, something like "Other Card Payment" for instance.

Creating the Generic mapping

1. Logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office with appropriate credentials. (Distributor or System Owner)

1. Start the Point of Sale Control Module.

1. Click the Payments menu, and select the Media Types… option.

After the STPISecure client is installed, configured and running properly on the POS system, make sure that all payment terminals are properly configured so they can communicate with the POS system. Android payment terminals are generally shipped with all the necessary applications pre-installed by PayFacto, including the latest versions of SecureTable and of the latest version of the Payment application. If the SecureTable application appears to be missing, install it using the instructions below.

PAX A920 Android Terminal

The instructions below were created using the PAX A920 Android-based Payment terminal and the PAX store. However, the instructions are the same for all Android-based payment terminals, such as other models offered by PAX, AMP terminals or Clover Flex. For brands other than PAX, the mechanism they use to install apps may look different but the general principle should remain the same.

Before you begin

Before installing SecureTable on your payment terminal, please make sure that the appropriate payment application is installed and configured properly. You may also want to check out our documentation on the PAX A920, A920Pro or A80 terminals or any other Android-based terminal you may be using with SecureTable.

Redundant Network

Enable this option to allow the SecureTable application to communicate over both WiFi and 4G/LTE mobile networks. By default, SecureTable will always try to use WiFi networks first, to avoid extra costs from using data over mobile networks. If the terminal is out of range of any known WiFi networks, SecureTable will automatically switch to 4G/LTE mobile network. Enabling this option will also unlock additional settings.

Auto-connect to LTE
