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.
Beginning with the AC adapter, inserting it in the terminal's cable guide on the left and connect the adapter to the Power port.
Insert the Ethernet cable in the terminal's cable guide on the right and connect it to the LAN port.
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.
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.
Turn the terminal over and power on the terminal. The completed assembly should resemble the following:
This document will cover the configuration required to operate SecureTable using the Maitre’D direct integration to the STPI client.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The STPISecure Installer, the STPISecure client software for SecureTable and the RTI-SIPA plugin for SecurePay requires the installation of Java for Windows software. This can be downloaded and installed for free from Oracle’s Java website, Here.
Please download and install the latest version of Java for Windows for your specific Windows edition (32-bit or 64-bit).
NOTE: Please consult Oracle's Java website for detailed licensing conditions and support.

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.
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).
a. If this feature is not listed, install .NET Framework manually. (See below)
b. If you see a black square in this checkbox, .NET Framework 3.5 is already enabled and no further action is required.
c. 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.
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.
The full installer can be obtained from the official Microsoft download site here:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Download the file and double-click it to start the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions and restart your PC as required.
IMPORTANT! If the link provided here does not work, please use your preferred search engine and look for "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5". Be sure to download the files from the official Microsoft download site. For security reasons, please avoid non-Microsoft sources.
Before a license can be activated, it needs to be purchased and created for you. Please contact the PayFacto Boarding team or your local Sales Representative to purchase a STPISecure license.
After you have purchased a STPISecure license, the license file will be sent to you as a text file attachment via e-mail. The e-mail will come from the PayFacto Boarding Team or your local Sales Representative.
Save the file from the e-mail to your Windows Desktop. Typically, the file is named something like "Licdefault_12345.txt".
Rename the file to "Lic.txt". To achieve this, you can right-click the file and select the Rename option, or select the file and press the F2 key on your keyboard.
Move the file to the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\PayFacto\STPISecure\STPIClient\
The license activation process is now complete.
This step is required to have the STPISecure client start automatically when Windows starts, and have it run silently in the background.
IMPORTANT! If you have already configured the STPIClient application shortcut to start automatically with Windows by copying its shortcut to the Windows StartUp folder, be sure to un-do this configuration before proceeding further

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.
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 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.

NOTE: The SecureTable application can be installed on certified payment terminals only. It cannot be used on regular phones or tablets.
Power-up your terminal, and make sure it is connected to the Internet.
If any application start automatically, shut them down to reach the Android home screen.
From the Android home screen, start the PAXSTORE by touching the appropriate icon.
In the PAXSTORE (Application Marketplace), search for SecureTable.
Locate the version which is appropriate for your region, and touch the GET button to download and install it.
During the installation, the GET button will turn to a circle with the Pause symbol inside. Once installation is complete, the GET button will change to OPEN.
An icon will also be created on the Android home screen.
Installation of the SecureTable application is now complete.
SecureTable supports voids initiated by the POS system. To be able to use this feature, the POS system must support it as well.
The Void Sale operation consists in cancelling a sale transaction that was carried out in the current transaction batch. With this operation, the funds are returned to the customer.
IMPORTANT! Only transactions from the Current Batch can be voided. Transactions that belong to a closed batch cannot be voided. To refund a transaction belonging to a closed batch, see Refunds.
Initiate the void from the POS system. The POS system should tell you which Terminal ID was used in the original transaction, as well as the original check or invoice number. The information should be available either on-screen or on a printed coupon.
Locate the payment terminal with the appropriate Terminal ID (TID). On the SecureTable application, the terminal ID (TID) is displayed in green at the bottom of the home screen and consists of 8 digits.
Logon to SecureTable with your employee number. There is no need to enter a table or check number, so simply touch OK without entering anything if
If there are voids to be treated, you will see a section for Voids at the top of the list of tables and checks. Touch the Voids box, which will display the list of pending voids
NOTE: If you don't see the Voids section, it means that no voids were initiated from the POS system, or your POS system does not support this feature with SecureTable
Locate the box that represents the transaction you wish to void and touch it. If multiple pending voids are listed, use the invoice (check) number or reference number to locate the one you wish to process. Touch the VOID to .
The payment application will display the transaction details. Verify that this is indeed the transaction you wish to void, then:
a. touch the green "I CONFIRM THE REQUEST" button to proceed, or;
b. Touch the red "CANCEL THE REQUEST" button to return to SecureTable. (This will return to the SecureTable Home Screen.)
At this point, whether the customer will need to manipulate the payment terminal depends on the type of card used for the original payment.
a. For credit cards, no further manipulation is required and the void will be processed automatically.
b. For debit cards, hand the payment terminal to the customer. The customer will insert the original payment card and follow the prompts to process the void.
Once the process is completed, the terminal will return to the SecureTable home screen.
An Access Point Name (APN) is the name of a gateway between a GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G/LTE mobile network and another computer network, frequently the public Internet. In simple terms, an APN is required for your mobile device to be able to access the Internet through the carrier's mobile network.
Most mobile devices (phones, tablets, etc.) supplied by common carriers come with the carrier's APN pre-configured, so most users don't need to worry about manually configuring an APN.
However, mobile devices provided by PayFacto are carrier-agnostic, so they can connect to your carrier of choice to access GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G/LTE mobile networks for mobile payment processing. For this reason, the APN can't be configured in advance and therefore needs to be configured manually.
Before configuring an APN on your Android terminal, be sure to have a SIM card installed in your terminal. Please review the documentation specific to your terminal model to learn how to install a SIM card.
Exit any payment application that may be running on the terminal. You should now see the home screen of your terminal.
Touch the settings app icon to access the device's settings.
A password prompt will appear. Enter the device's password and touch the OK button
NOTE: Settings passwords are changed before shipping to end-users. Passwords are unique to each terminal. Please review the documentation that came with your terminal to find your settings password.
In the Wireless & Networks section, touch the More... option.
Touch Cellular Networks.
Touch Access Point Names
The first time you access this setting, the list of APN's should be empty. Touch the "+" sign at the very top of the list to add a new entry.
Configure the following settings:
Name
Give a meaningful name to this APN. This generally corresponds to your mobile network carrier name.
APN
This is the actual name of the gateway. This is provided by your mobile service carrier.
MCC
The default value for this setting is 302. Leave it to the default value unless otherwise specified by your mobile service carrier.
MNC
The default value for this setting is 760. Leave it to the default value unless otherwise specified by your mobile service carrier.
Other settings
The settings listed above are the minimal settings required to get an APN to work properly. Different carriers may require additional settings to be configured. Please inquire with your mobile service carrier.
Touch the 3 dots at the top-right of the screen and select Save.
The new APN will appear in the list.
Use the Back button to exit all the way back to the home screen.
To make sure that your APN and SIM card work properly, they need to be tested. Unfortunately, payment terminals don't have browsers which would allow for a quick and easy test, but here's a workaround:
Disabling WiFi will ensure that you are testing Internet connectivity through the mobile network only.
From the Home screen, swipe twice from the very top of the screen. This will show some quick settings for the terminal. Touch the Wi-Fi icon to disable your Wi-Fi connection.
While still in the settings screen, touch the Cellular Data icon. Then, make sure that the Cellular Data option is enabled.
Since the PAX Store requires Internet connectivity to allow you to download applications, you can use it to tell if your APN and SIM card are working properly.
Start the PAXSTORE by touching its icon on the home screen.
Once in the PAXSTORE, touch "All" near the top of the screen.
If the APN is correctly configured and that Internet access is working properly through the mobile network, you will see a list of applications that can be downloaded and installed:
If the APN is not configured correctly or if there is an issue with Internet connectivity through the mobile network, you will see a message saying "Network Unavailable" briefly displayed on the screen. Instead of the applications list, you will see a "Click to refresh" message and an empty box icon.
If Internet access is not working, please review your APN settings and try restarting your terminal. If Internet access through mobile networks still doesn't work, please call the PayFacto help desk or your mobile network carrier for assistance.
Now that Internet access through the mobile network is tested, don't forget to re-enable WiFi to keep data usage from the mobile network at a minimum.
