1. Connect the AC adapter’s triangular end to the power input at the rear of the LinkPoint 3000 terminal (Figure 4).
Figure 4
2. Plug the adapter into a 120-volt electrical outlet (Figure 5) or into a quality surge suppressor.
Figure 5
3. Insert one end of the telephone line cord into one of the modular jacks at the rear of the terminal. Insert the other end of the line cord into a modular telephone wall jack; just as one would connect a telephone (see Figure 6). The modular plug may be inserted directly into the wall jack or use a 4-prong adapter (not included) for older 4­prong jacks.
Note: A standard telephone may be connected to the other modular jack at the rear of
the terminal.

Maintenance
The LinkPoint system does not need preventive maintenance. However, LinkPoint International does recommend periodic cleaning of the keypad, using a soft brush to remove any dust. Because the terminal can be damaged by liquids, do not spray liquid cleaners directly on the terminal. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth before cleaning the terminal. To avoid costly downtime, LinkPoint International also recommends protecting the terminal with a surge protector.
Returning the Terminal for Service
Please refer to your sales agreement for specific details on coverage to repair or replace the LinkPoint terminal.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Asynchronous Communications
The application will communicate with all hosts using 300/1200 baud asynchronous ‘VISA’ protocol using custom FDMS Nashville formats. Asynchronous Communications is also supported for AMEX split dial. The terminal will display communication status messages during a communication session. If the session fails or the host returns a defined error code, an appropriate error message will display in order to facilitate a problem resolution by the support organizations.
The communication display messages are shown on the second line and the first line is unchanged and typically displays information about the type of transaction in progress SALE, SETTLE... If a dial attempt fails on the primary phone number before the ACK or ENQ is received, a subsequent attempt will automatically be made using the alternate phone number in most dialing error scenarios. If a dial attempt fails after the ACK is received, the terminal should display the appropriate communication or host error message and wait to redial.

Automatic Program Download
During any feature setting update session, the Nashville host can indicate to the terminal that a full program load is required (immediately or at a specified time). The terminal will not attempt a full program load with an open batch.
Batch History
The batch history functions (review and report) will provide information relative to the last 8 settled batches including: settle date, internal batch ID, total number of credit card, debit card, CPO/ECA check items and the net dollar amount.
Separate batch history functions are available for FDMS Gift Card. While Gift Card batch review screens are available, it is also possible to print batch totals, details and clerk reports while a gift card batch is open. When the Gift Card batch is closed, either a totals report or a detail report will print depending upon the downloaded parameter setting.
Batch Reload
In the event an open batch exists at the Nashville host following a full program download, the application will support the reloading of the entire batch from the host as part of the application startup procedure. Off-line, adjustment and void transactions will not typically be included in the records stored at the host since they are typically not transmitted to the host until the terminal is settled. Open tab transactions, however, are recorded at the host at the time of pre-authorization and will be reloaded. Open TeleCheck CPO/ECA transactions will be supported during a batch reload. Gift Card transactions are not supported in batch reloads.
Card Type Group
Each capture card type can be assigned (host defined) a card type group indicator. For example, MC and VS might be grouped together because they have the same card type group indicator and AX might be in a separate group because it has a unique card type group indicator. Card types can be grouped together (up to 9 card types to a group) or each card type can have its own unique group number. The grouping assigned determines how the detail and totals for reports and review functions is sorted and/or formatted when the CARD menu option is selected; card types with the same CARD TYPE GROUP INDICATOR are grouped together.

Calculator Function
Standard LinkPoint built-in calculator functions will be supported. These functions allow simple arithmetic calculations and can be accessed from the idle menu by pressing the numeric keys followed by a key representing a mathematical symbol (÷, X, - or +) and then [ENTER] to obtain the result. Press the right green soft [
S] key before an operation
and the results from that operation will print. From the idle prompt, press [0] to access function.
Check Processing
The application will process all check authorizations to the Nashville and CARDnet host; check approval split dial will not be supported. The application will support the MagTek Mini MICR check reader. TeleCheck ECA/CPO is the standard check processing service currently supported through the Nashville host.
Demo Mode
Using the local management function, the application may be put into demo mode. Demo mode cannot be enabled or disabled when there is an open batch. In demo mode, the terminal will generate ‘demo’ responses without actually dialing and connecting to the remote host system. When in demo mode, a special demo idle prompt screen will alternate with the standard idle prompt screen as shown in the tables that follow. In demo mode, special ‘demo’ text will be printed on all reports and receipts.
In demo mode, the approval code generated (displayed and printed) will be in the form ‘DEMOnn’ where ‘nn’ is the last 2 digits of the sequence number; the settlement response generated will be in the form ‘DEMOn’ where ‘n’ is the last digit of the internal settlement ID. In all cases, when a demo response is displayed, the terminal will sound three loud beeps. Demo mode can be used to test credit and debit cards, both standard and CPO/ECA TeleCheck check processing and First Data Gift Card. When simulating an online authorization response, the following simulated authorization response data will apply:

Debit Card Processing
The application will support debit online sale transactions. Auth only transactions, open tab transactions, voids, adjustments, off-line transactions and manually keyed account numbers will be blocked for debit transactions. A printer and a PIN pad must be attached before debit transactions are allowed. Host download debit options include: cash back, PIN pad cash back amount entry, PIN pad tip entry and printing of the signature line on the receipt. Additional debit host download options include tip and cash back entry via the PIN pad. Only the last 4 digits of a debit account number will be printed on the customer receipt. PIN entry is required for all debit transactions. Debit sale transactions must be initiated by pressing the [ATM/DEBIT] key.
Floor Limit Sales
If a credit card sale transaction is less than or equal to the card type floor limit, the transaction will be stored to the terminal batch as an off-line transaction without requesting an online authorization from the authorization host (FDMS Nashville or Amex). Card type floor limits will be ignored for debit, off-line sale, auth only, open tab and return transactions.

Full Program Downloads
The terminal will support dial-up downloads from the FDMS Nashville host as well as PC-to-terminal downloads. In either download scenario, the application will force host parameter initialization after the full program download is completed. If a batch was not closed prior to the download, all approved online credit card and ECA transactions will be sent back to the terminal to restore the batch. Data that will not be sent back to the terminal includes offline credit card and gift card transactions.
Gratuity Guidelines on Receipt
If tip processing is enabled and the tip is not entered during the sale (blank tip and total line is printed on the customer receipt), three suggested tip amounts can (local option) be printed on the customer receipt as shown in the example below. The suggested tip percents will default to 15%, 20% and 25% but can be changed via the local tip options management function.
GRATUITY GUIDELINES
15%=NN.NN 20%=NN.NN 25%=NN.NN
Host Based Terminal Management
The application will support management of most options and parameters from the FDMS Nashville host. A list of all host parameters is provided within the Host Parameter section. Automatic (host initiated) parameter updates (initialization) and full program loads are supported as described within this document.
Idle Display
The normal idle screen will be ‘SWIPE CARD FOR SALE’ on the first line and the merchant date and time on the second line. If the terminal is in demo mode, then the first line will alternately flash ‘SWIPE CARD FOR SALE’ and ‘DEMO MODE’.
SWIPE CARD FOR SALE MM-DD-YY DDD HH:MM
Display at idle state until a key is pressed, a card is swiped or for three seconds if in demo mode (local option).
DEMO MODE
MM-DD-YY DDD HH:MM
If DEMO MODE is enabled (local option), display for 3 seconds and return to the main idle prompt.
‘IMPRINT CARD NOW!’ Prompt
For transactions where the account number is manually keyed and card present applies, an ‘IMPRINT CARD NOW!’ prompt will be displayed as a reminder to the operator. The operator must press [ENTER] to continue with the transaction.

Interchange Compliance Data
There is no requirement for the terminal to display, print or store the interchange compliance data (CPS/IPC) returned on an authorization response since the application primarily supports restaurant processing, retail processing and mail/telephone order where the original auth amount is always the same as the final auth amount (rather than where the final amount might be less than an original pre-auth amount due to back orders, etc. and where an open pre-auth must be retained after a batch is settled). For this application, the host system will manage the matching of the original compliance data received on the auth response with the final settlement record.
IRS TRAC Reporting
If tip entry is enabled, certain employee ID reports will include the total charged tips and total charged receipts showing charged tips. In addition, a line for writing in the total cash tips, a line for writing in the total tip outs, (used to calculate the total tips for indirectly tipped employees) and a total tips line are included. These totals are included to facilitate merchant reporting of tip information on the IRS ‘Employer’s Annual Information Return of Tip Income and Allocation Tips’ Form 8027. Although not related to the IRS 8027 form, the percentage of charged tips to transactions with charged tips will also be included on the reports.
LinkPoint BankPoint PIN Pad Idle Display
When the terminal returns to the idle state, the LinkPoint BankPoint PIN pad display should be reset to the PIN pad idle prompt as well.
BANKPOINT
WELCOME
This is displayed on the PIN pad if a BankPoint PIN pad is connected.
Lock Mode
The lock function is used to temporarily disable the terminal until the assigned level password (or higher) is entered.
Password Protection
The application supports three levels of password protection (minimum, medium and maximum). Three of the levels: minimum, medium and maximum can support a unique password. The passwords may be changed locally in the local setup function. A terminal must be re-downloaded in order to restore the host defined default password. An override password will be supported when entering the local password setup function (or when the terminal is in LOCK mode) and will be the day of the month squared plus the month. For example, the override password for 9/23 would be (23X23) + 9 = 538. Certain features and functions can be assigned one of the four levels of protection; the entry of a higher level password will gain access to a feature or function protected with a lower level. For example, if employee detail reporting is protected with the minimum level protection, the medium or maximum level passwords can also be entered in order to perform the detail reporting functions. Once a function has been initiated from the idle

expressed, written consent of LinkPoint International is prohibited.
state, the password for any level will only be requested once until that level or higher has been entered regardless of how many features associated with that level are password protected. For example, if batch review and edit are both password protected and the appropriate level or higher password has been entered for the batch review function then subsequent edits while in that function will not require re-entry of that level of password. The password prompting sequence is shown below. Pressing [CLEAR] at any point will return to the idle prompt unless LOCK mode has been enabled.
TRANSACTION
ENTER PASSWORD
TRANSACTION
ACCESS DENIED
The password is requested if the level assigned to the function or feature or a higher level has not been previously entered in the current function (the first line is
the transaction or function description ‘SALE’, ‘MANUAL’, DETAIL REPORT’, etc.). Asterisks are displayed as the password is keyed.
Display (with beep) for 2 seconds if a lower level password is entered; return to ‘ENTER PASSWORD’.
TRANSACTION
INVALID PASSWORD
Display (with beep) for 2 seconds if a password is entered that does not match either the min, med or max level password; return to ‘ENTER PASSWORD’.
PIN Pad Processing
The application will support the LinkPoint BankPoint PIN Pad, as well as the Verifone 102, 301, 1000, 1000SE and 2000 PIN pads. All PIN pads must be configured for DUKPT key management. The application will support card swipes from a handheld PIN pad as well as card swipes from the integrated terminal card reader. PIN entry will be required for all debit transactions. Entry of the tip and cash back amount may be allowed from the PIN pad based on host features.
Pre-Dial
For online credit card sale transactions, including gift card transactions the terminal will pre-dial as soon as account number and expiration date validation have been completed. Pre-dial will be disabled for a card type if a floor limit applies. For check transactions, pre-dial will begin before the amount is requested. The pre-dial is complete when the host carrier is qualified by the terminal but before the terminal carrier is raised. If user input is not completed within 30 seconds, the pre-dial should timeout, disconnect and a new dial session started upon completion of the user input. Pre-dialing is not supported for debit transactions or when a floor limit applies for a card type.

Printer Processing
The application will support the PrintPoint 1000 and 3000 printers, the VFI 250/900, and the VFI 350 (40 column print format only) connected to the LinkPoint 3000. It will also support the printer attached to the AIO. A host feature will enable and disable printing of receipts and, if enabled, other options will control the printing of auth only and tab transactions. Reports will always print, regardless of the printer enable or disable host option setting provided a printer is connected. Up to 2 optional header lines and 2 optional footer lines will be supported for printing receipts and some reports.
If a printer error is detected, the terminal will display an error message ‘Printer Offline’ on the top line and ‘Please Correct’ on the bottom line and an alert beep will sound. The application will automatically detect when the printer error has been corrected and will no longer display the printer error message. Printing may be temporarily disabled in the local setup function but a subsequent host parameter update (setup) will reset the printing status to the host value.
Settlement (Interactive Capture)
The host will store all on-line approved capture authorization transactions at the time of authorization, including TeleCheck CPO/ECA transactions. When the terminal settles, all off-line (sale and return), split dial (authorized to the AMEX host), adjustment (edit, close tab and add tip) and void transactions are first submitted to the host in an attempt to bring the terminal and the host in balance; the terminal will then send the settlement totals to the host.
If the host and terminal are ‘in-balance’, the host will close the batch and the terminal will print the settlement report, store the batch totals (for history reporting) and close the batch. If, however, the host and terminal are ‘out-of-balance’, the terminal will be requested to upload the entire batch, including on-line approved transactions such as TeleCheck ECA transactions, offline, voids and adjustments before printing the settlement report and closing the batch. The batch will not be closed if any communication or host error occurs during the settlement session.
Special Phone Number Symbols
The phone symbols in addition to ‘0’ - ‘9’, ‘*’ and ‘#’ that the application will recognize are:
Symbol Comment
‘N’ Communicate at 1200 baud; otherwise use 300 baud ‘,’ (comma) Pause 2 seconds ‘-’ (dash) Slow touch tone dial 5 digits/pulses per second (normal is 10) ‘+’ Wait for second dial tone ‘@’ Disable ‘line in use’ test ‘$’ Disable dial tone test and ‘line in use’ test ‘/’ Disable dial tone test but do not disable ‘line in use’ test

Thermal Printers
When a thermal printer mechanism is used, a second copy of the customer receipt will be printed but without the signature and promissory note lines. The application will pause between copies for the number of seconds indicated by the SECOND RECEIPT TIMER or until the [ENTER] key is pressed before printing the second copy. If the SECOND RECEIPT TIMER is not ‘00’, the message TEAR NOW, PRESS ENTER will be displayed on the second line of the display and until the timer expires or [ENTER] is pressed. If the SECOND RECEIPT TIMER is ‘99’ for timer disabled, the application will wait until the [ENTER] key is pressed. A thermal printer will print inverse text.
Transaction Sequence Number
A transaction sequence number is generated for every settlement (capture) transaction. The sequence number will be displayed on the screen when the transaction is captured to the settlement batch. The sequence number will also be printed on the merchant and customer receipt copies. A sequence number will not be assigned for auth only transactions. The sequence number starts over at ‘001’ after each successful settlement. When applicable, the sequence number may be used to select a transaction in an open batch.
Transaction Space Management
The application will warn the operator ‘CLOSE SOON!’ when twenty or fewer transactions are left in the batch. Each time a transaction is stored to the batch, the average size of a data base record is recalculated based on the previous average and the size of the new record. At any point, the number of transactions remaining is the size of unused memory divided by the average size of a transaction. The application will display ‘BATCH FULL-CLOSE NOW’ and abort to the idle state when the batch is full. The batch must be successfully closed before a new transaction can be entered.
If this process is interrupted at any point due to errors, the settlement close procedure must be restarted from the beginning. Gift card transactions are not included in batch settlements and therefore are not stored at the host for batch updates. The terminal will not send Gift Card transactions to the host when a batch update occurs.
Please note: Gift card transactions are not included in credit and debit card batches
because there is no gift card batch, there are only gift card totals that need to be cleared. As a result, when a batch update takes place, the terminal will not send gift card transactions to the host.
Terminal Initiated Auto Settlement
Terminal initiated auto settlement will be supported based on a host supplied auto settle hour and minute. Open tab transactions will be deleted without operator confirmation if they exist at the time of auto settlement and no warning will be displayed for un-tipped transactions. An auto settlement attempt will take place at the indicated time if transactions exist and regardless of any intervening operator initiated settlements; if transactions do not exist, auto settlement is not attempted until the next occurrence of the settlement time.

FEATURES AND OPTIONS
New Features Include:
Electronic Commerce Indicator
An Electronic Commerce Indicator (ECI) flag is available in the CONFIG 690 00.01.07 application. If enabled, when the credit card number is keyed in and merchant indicates the card is not present, a prompt will display asking if a transaction was received over the Internet. If so, another prompt will display asking if the information was received encrypted.
Merchant Messaging Feature
The Merchant Messaging feature allows the user to receive informational messages sent by the host computer. When the feature is activated: a MERCHANT ALERT header line will print in inverse font, followed by a message of up to four lines of 32 alphanumeric characters each. It will print on the top of the batch close report above the merchant header lines. Please note that messages will not appear as text on the terminal readout.
Petroleum Processing
The terminal can accept debit, credit, TeleCheck ECA and gift cards to purchase both gasoline and non-gasoline products at petroleum service stations. The terminal can be set to process up to five different grades of gasoline. Each grade can be set to sell gasoline at a different price per gallon. The receipt prints both the total transaction amount and total amount of gasoline purchased.
Recurring Payment Indicator
When the Recurring Payment Indicator (RPI) flag is enabled, a prompt appears that asks if the transaction (sale, refund, offline) is recurring transaction. A recurring transaction is a transaction that is repeated on a regular basis. This prompt occurs when the card number is keyed in and merchant indicates card is not present. Pressing [ENTER] when the prompt appears will allow the terminal to bypass the card code entry prompt, pressing [BACK SPACE] when the prompt appears will not.
Existing Features Include:
2nd Receipt Delay
The Second Receipt Delay terminal option controls the delay period between the printing of the first and the second receipt copies on printers configured for separate merchant and customer receipt printing. The options are:
Do not pause between copies by setting delay time to 00 seconds Pause between copies by setting delay time between 01-99 seconds

Abbreviated Report Totals
Determines how the totals will be printed on batch close reports. Two parameters: the Detail and Summary Totals parameter and the Net Summary parameter control this information. If both parameters are set to Y = card detail, check detail, card type totals, net grand totals and employee totals will print. If both parameters are set to N = only the card type totals and the net grand totals will print.
ADJUST BEFORE CLOSE? Prompt When this prompt displays, the terminal is asking if the transactions with unadjusted tips
will be editing now. If the [ENTER] (YES) key is pressed, the transactions will display so that they can be adjusted one by one, if [BACK SPACE] (NO) is pressed, the terminal will add zero tip amounts to all unadjusted tip transactions so the batch can close.
Address Verification
This host feature is card type specific and is used in conjunction with the AVS/Card Not Present, Bypass Card Present Prompt and Card Present Default host feature options explained in later paragraphs. This option enables and disables prompting for the customer ZIP and address code for transactions where the account number is manually keyed and card not present is indicated. Up to five digits of numeric street address information can be entered. Up to nine digits of alphanumeric zip code data can be entered.
The parameter settings are: Y = the terminal will request the address information; N = address information will not be requested. A two character address verification code will be printed on receipts and displayed on the terminal. The first character is the address match code and the second is the ZIP match code. The possible character values and their definitions are listed:
If the first character is: Y = Exact address match N = Not an address exact match X = Service not valid or other error
If the second character is: Y = Exact ZIP code match N = Not an exact ZIP code match X = Service not valid or other error
The following matrix shows all the transaction types supported by the application and whether AVS applies for the transaction type when the account number is manually keyed and there is an indication that the card/customer is present.

Applicable Transactions Non Applicable Transactions
Sale Non-Debit Authorization Only
Debit Sale Offline Sale Return Non-Debit Return Debit Open Tab Void Check Approval
AVS Prompting Enhancements: AVS can be prompted for in both card present
status and card not present settings. Download settings from the host: AVS Card Present Default and AVS/Card Not Present. ZIP Code entry is requested if AVS/Card Present applies and the card is present. Operator bypass of the ZIP entry is always allowed. If card not present is indicated, standard AVS ZIP and address code prompting apply.
Authorization Processing: If AVS ZIP entry applies, Auxiliary Data Packet ‘0012’
for ‘Address Verification’ must be included in the authorization request and AVS response code(s) should be expected in the host response. The AVS response code must be stored with the transaction data (except for Auth Only transactions) displayed on the final authorization screen and printed on the customer receipt.
Batch Uploads: The AVS response code is included in Auxiliary Data Packet ‘0012’
during batch upload and discrepancy batch upload processing.
Detail Review and Reporting: The AVS response code must be printed on detail
reports and displayed on detail review screens.
American Express Split Dial Authorization
This split dial option determines if American Express transactions will be routed through First Data or if they will be routed directly to American Express for authorization and then FDMS for settlement. The transactions will be settled to the FDMS Nashville host as off­line sale transactions. The American Express split dial host download parameter ‘092’ when set to ‘1’ will route AMEX transactions directly to American Express for authorization. If the download parameter is set to ‘0’ will route AMEX transactions through First Data for authorization.
ID Description Size Type Comment
092 Amex Split Dial Data 1 N 0 - Disable, 1 - Enable
Note: American Express reverse PIP (authorization and settlement to American
Express) will not be supported.

AMEX Split Dial Terminal ID
The Amex terminal ID is used in the split dial request to the Amex host and identifies the merchant to the Amex host.
Auto Close
Auto close is when the terminal is set to automatically attempt to close an open batch at an approximate time. If the merchant is not available to close a batch with an open transaction, the auto batch close feature is a necessary safeguard to ensure all transactions process in a timely manner. When it is time for the terminal to attempt to close automatically, if the terminal has no open batch, it will stay in a waiting mode and no action will be taken; if the batch has open transactions with unadjusted tips or open tabs, the terminal will zero out all open tabs and unadjusted tips and proceed with the close attempt; if the batch has open and non adjustable transactions, the terminal will proceed with the close attempt.
Auth Tolerance %
When a tab is closed, the total close amount will be compared to the original authorization amount. If the total close amount is above or below the original authorization amount by an amount greater than the auth tolerance percentage, the terminal will display a message instructing the user of the ‘over-authorized’ or ‘under­authorized’ status.
Batch Close
When the merchant has successfully performed a credit card, debit card, CPO/ECA check transaction or gift card transaction, the transactions become part of a batch. The merchant must close the batch before payment is received for those transactions. The feature will close all transactions in the open batch except gift card transactions. Gift card transaction batch will be cleared out instead of closed. The gift card batch clearing will allow new gift card transaction processing to begin. The batch can be closed in two different ways: manual close and auto close.
Bypass Card Present Prompt
This host download option is used to prompt the user if the card is present at the time the card number is manually entered into the terminal.
If the Bypass Card Present Prompt host option setting is:
N= terminal will prompt card is present
Y=terminal will not prompt if card is present
See also the Card Present Default paragraph printed later in this section.
Bypass Tip Entry on Sale
This parameter, called Bypass Tip on Sale, controls whether the tip entry occurs during a sale transaction. See Tip Processing paragraph printed later in this section.

Card Present Default
This host download option sets the default transaction for manual credit card entry as either card present or card not present.
If the Card Present Default is set to:
N = terminal assumes card is not present at card number entry
Y= terminal assumes card is present at card number entry
See also the Bypass Card is Present Prompt paragraph printed earlier in this section.
Card Range Prefix Length
The Card Range Prefix Length parameter sets the exact number of lower and upper account number prefix digits used to match the transaction account number to an account number in the card range table.
Card Range Table
The card range table is used to match a transaction account number to the appropriate card type record in the card type table. The application searches and processes the card range table in the order the records were loaded during the initialization process. Each record in the card range table will point to a record in the card type table and multiple card range records can point to the same card type record. Each card range record is made up of the following elements:
Minimum Account Number Length: The entered account number must be greater
than or equal to this length in order to match a range record.
Maximum Account Number Length: The entered account number must be less
than or equal to this length in order to match a range record.
Account Number Lower Prefix: The prefix of the entered account number (for the
number of digits specified in the CARD RANGE PREFIX LENGTH) must be greater than or equal to the account number lower prefix in order to match a range record. Note: If the length of the entered account number is less than the CARD RANGE PREFIX LENGTH, then the entered account number should be padded with lead zeroes to the required length before a match on the prefix digits is attempted.
Account Number Upper Prefix: The prefix of the entered account number (for the
number of digits specified in the CARD RANGE PREFIX LENGTH) must be less than or equal to the account number upper prefix in order to match a range record. Note: If the length of the entered account number is less than the CARD RANGE PREFIX LENGTH, then the entered account number should be padded with lead zeroes to the required length before a match on the prefix digits is attempted.
Confirm Card Type: The confirm card type option enables and disables card type
confirmation when a keyed or swiped account number matches a given entry in the range table. If the option is disabled, the first match is used to process the transaction. If this option is enabled, then a card type confirmation prompt is displayed; a YES response selects the ‘found’ card type and a NO response restarts

the search of the range table for another match on a different card type. The same logic applies for the initial match as well as all subsequent matches.
Card Type Index: When the entered account number matches a card range record
(based on the criteria above), the card type table is searched until a match is found between the CARD TYPE INDEX in the range record and a CARD TYPE INDEX in the card type table entries.
Commercial Card Indicator: When the entered account number matches a card
range record (based on the criteria above), the commercial card indicator indicates:
Non-commercial: No special processing is required. Purchase card: Prompt for customer code (optional) and for sales tax
(mandatory) with tax exempt confirmation if zero tax is entered or tax entry is bypassed.
Corporate Card: Prompt for sales tax (mandatory) with tax exempt confirmation if zero tax is entered or tax entry is bypassed.
Business Card: Prompt for sales tax (mandatory) with tax exempt confirmation if zero tax is entered or tax entry is bypassed.
Unknown: Request commercial card type indicator from the host on the authorization request. If the transaction is approved and one of the above is indicated on the auth response, follow the same action as described above before the receipt is printed and before the authorization response is displayed; if the auth response indicates that the commercial card type is still ‘unknown’, the application will prompt for sales tax as if ‘corporate card’ had been indicated. For offline transactions, the terminal always prompts for sales tax if the commercial card type is ‘unknown’.
Card Swipe Verification
The card swipe verification option specifies if verification of the stripe read account number is required for electronically swiped cards. The parameter settings are:
No Verification Required = No special processing is required. ♦ Display Account Number = Display the account number read from the card
and wait for confirmation.
Enter Last 4 Digits = Prompt for the last 4 digits of the account number and
match to the last 4 digits of the account number read from the card. Display ‘MISMATCHED DIGITS’ prompt and try again if they do not match.
Display and Enter Last 4 = Require entry of last 4 and display swiped
account number (in that order) as described above.
Card Type Table
The card type table controls how the different card types are processed by the application. The host can load information for up to 10 card types with the 6th record reserved for check approval parameters. Each record in the card type table includes the following information about a card type:

The service code can indicate that no transactions are allowed for the card type, that all transactions are authorization only (whether done in the sale function or the auth only function-not valid for any other function) or that transactions are capture (settlement transactions) unless done in the authorization only function.
Card Type Floor Limit:
used to store capture sale transactions directly to the batch without requiring online authorization. The floor limit is a dollar amount value applies in the sale function only and never applies for debit or auth only transactions. Applicable transactions will be considered captured without authorization if the total transaction amount is less than or equal to the CARD TYPE FLOOR LIMIT.
Card Type Reporting Group Indicator:
INDICATOR is used to group card types for reporting purposes. Up to 9 card type reporting group indicators are supported. Supported card types may be grouped in any combination including all together or all separate. Card types will be presented as sorted by card type reporting groups for all card type reports and in all card type review functions; in other words, card types with the same/matching CARD TYPE REPORTING GROUP INDICATOR will be presented together. For example, if MC and VS both had a group indicator of ‘01’, AX ‘02’ and DS ‘03, then MC and VS would be grouped together and AX and DS would be grouped separately.
Card Type Index:
TYPE TABLE for a particular card type and is used to determine the card type that applies for a card type range (see paragraph about card range tables printed earlier in this chapter).

Card Code Host Parameter: The terminal application supports a host parameter
card code card type option to enable card code entry for key entered online sale transactions when the card/customer is not present. This host parameter is card type specific.
Card Code Prompting: Card code is a card verification tool designed to reduce
fraud losses primarily on mail or telephone order transactions when the card is not present. The card code value is a three to four digit code imprinted on the back of the card in reverse italics following the card number that is also printed in reverse italics on the signature stripe. Like AVS, card code authorization processing applies for online auth only or captured sales if card code verification is enabled for the merchant and card type/issuer, if the account number is manually keyed and if card not present is indicated.
If card code applies, the card code value must be requested from the cardholder, keyed at the terminal and submitted on the authorization request. If entry of the card code is bypassed, the terminal operator must indicate the reason the code cannot be obtained from the cardholder (the card code value is not printed on the card, the card code value is printed but is not legible or the operator deliberately chooses not to enter the code). The card code value should be requested immediately after the account number and expiration date has been keyed (while the cardholder is still looking at the card).

Card Code Sales Authorization Processing: When card code entry applies for a transaction, ‘Card Code Information’ must be included in an authorization request (additional request data type 013) and card code response codes should be expected in the host response. The card code response code must be stored with the transaction data (except for auth only transactions); it will be displayed on the final authorization screen and printed on the customer receipt.

Batch Uploads: The card code response code is included in additional request data
type 013 during batch upload and discrepancy batch upload processing.
Batch Downloads (Restores): The card code response code may be included in
additional request data type 013 during batch downloads for applicable AVS transactions.
Detail Review and Reporting: The card code response code must be printed on
detail reports and displayed on detail review screens.

Commercial Card Processing
Based on a commercial card indicator in either the card type range table or the authorization response from the host, a customer code (purchase card) and/or sales tax (purchase, business or corporate card) may be requested during the processing of the transaction. For all commercial cards (purchase, corporate and business), the sales tax will be required and if bypassed or zero amount, a tax exempt status for that transaction must be confirmed. If the merchant is tax exempt (parameters) the sales tax will not be requested and a tax exempt status will be assumed for all transactions. Commercial card processing can be disabled based on a parameter and if disabled, a commercial card will be treated the same as standard credit cards of the same card type. The parameters are: Y = sales tax will be requested on commercial card transactions; N = sales tax will not be requested on commercial card transactions.
Credit (Return) Enable
Terminal setting allows credits also known as returns to be processed. Options are: Y = Credits/Returns can be processed; N = Credits/Returns cannot be processed. NOTE:
The default for this parameter = Yes for all merchant types.
DBA Name, Address, State and ZIP
The DBA information is used for printing a merchant header on all receipts and reports. The DBA information should print only once for any given report. For example; if the ALL option is selected for a report (card type, employee ID, etc.) then the DBA should only print once.
Debit Signature Line
This option enables and disables the printing of the signature line on the customer receipt for debit transactions. Options are: Y = Signature line and promissory footnote will be printed; N = Signature line and promissory footnote will not be printed.
Default Open Tab Amount
The default amount for an open tab transaction is $0.00. The operator may override this amount by keying in a specific opening tab amount.

Detail on Settlement Report/Display Settlement Totals
Determines how the totals will be printed on batch close reports. Two parameters: the Detail and Summary Totals parameter and the Net Summary parameter control this information. If both parameters are set to Y = card detail, check detail, card type totals, net grand totals and employee totals will print. If both parameters are set to N = only the card type totals and the net grand totals will print.
Duplicate Invoice Number Check
When this is option is set, once an invoice number is entered, the terminal will search for the same invoice number in the open batch. If a duplicate is found, a DUPLICATE, RE­ENTER? prompt will be displayed and the operator may press [ENTER] (YES) to re­enter or [BACK SPACE] (NO) to retain the duplicate. The parameter settings are: Y = the terminal will alert the user that the invoice number has already been used and give the option to reenter the number or N = the terminal will accept the duplicate invoice number.
Duplicate Transaction Check
This option enables and disables duplicate transaction checking. A duplicate transaction is indicated when the account number entered matches the account number for another non-deleted transaction for the same card type that is stored in the current batch. A confirmation prompt is displayed if a duplicate transaction is found; password protection may be required (local option) to allow the duplicate to be entered. The parameter settings are: Y = terminal will check for duplicate transactions; N = terminal will dial the host and check for duplicate transactions.
Employee ID Processing
This option enables and disables functions and features associated with employee ID (clerk, server, etc.) processing (employee ID entry, reports/review functions, IRS TRAC reporting...). Please note that examples in the manual of employee ID processing
prompts will be referred to collectively as EMP, even though that is not a choice in the program.
Employee ID Long Text
The employee ID text (SERVER, CLERK...) is used for the receipt employee ID line and for display text as applicable.
The different settings include:
Server Clerk Guest Room Order Teller Bin

Employee ID Short Text
The employee ID short text (SVR, CLK…) is used for employee ID entry and as printed text (report column headers...) as applicable.
Employee ID Totals on Settlement Report
This option enables and disables printing of the employee ID totals on the settlement report. Typically, the settlement grand totals are printed at the top of the report, the card type detail follows (if enabled) and the employee ID totals follow (if enabled).
Enter Tip After Sale
The download parameter TIP ENTRY turns on or off tip entry. In a credit transaction, when TIP ENTRY=Y, the terminal will prompt for tip after the sale. In a debit transaction, terminal will prompt for tip during the sale. In a credit transaction, if BYPASS TIP ON SALE=N also, terminal will prompt for tip either during or after the sale depending upon when the tip is entered.
Gift Card Processing
This application features First Data gift card processing as an option. Gift cards are value added cards that act as gift certificates. Programmed with a certain dollar amount, they can be given as gifts to customers who can redeem them only in the business for which the card was programmed.
Key Invoice Number
The Key Invoice number option determines if the invoice number will be manually entered or terminal generated. The parameter settings are: Y = User enters invoice numbers; N = Terminal generates invoice numbers.
Terminal generated invoice numbers are generated in the form ‘XXYYY’ where ‘XX’ are the last two digits of the BATCH ID and ‘YYY’ are the last 3 digits of TRANSACTION ID.

Logon Password Security
The host will assign and supply to the terminal a logon password following a full program download and can also supply a new logon password during any host parameter update session. For all communication sessions with the Nashville host, the terminal will include the last logon password received in the protocol header of the request message.
For any request message, if the logon password supplied in the request packet does not match the logon password stored in the merchant demographic record at the host, an error code 50 will be returned and the host record will be marked as ‘violated’. On subsequent attempts, an error code 51 will be returned until the condition is resolved and the ‘violated’ status is removed.
Manual Close
Manual close is when the merchant attempts to close the batch manually, by pressing the correct key on the terminal keypad. If the batch contains open tip or open tab transactions that need to be adjusted, the terminal allows the merchant the choice of either adjusting them one at a time or allowing the terminal to zero out the transactions all at once.
Merchant Date and Time
The terminal date and time feature is usually set the local time and date for the merchant. The time is based on a time zone code in the merchant demographic record. The date and time will be updated after each successful batch close.
Net Summary Setting
Determines how the totals will be printed on batch close reports. Two parameters: the Detail and Summary Totals parameter and the Net Summary parameter control this information. If both parameters are set to Y = card detail, check detail, card type totals, net grand totals and employee totals will print. If both parameters are set to N = only the card type totals and the net grand totals will print. See the Abbreviated Report Totals section earlier in this manual.
Open/Close Tab Processing
Open/close tab processing is supported based on a parameter setting. An open tab transaction may be setup as the default transaction initiated by a swipe at the idle prompt. All open transactions must be closed or deleted before settlement is allowed. Close tab processing will use the Auth Tolerance setting to determine if the terminal should display a message indicating that the close tab amount is outside the tolerance range of the original open tab transaction. If the open tab amount + the tolerance rate is greater than the close tab amount, the message ‘UNDER AUTHORIZED’ will be displayed. If the open tab amount – the tolerance rate is less than the close tab amount, the message ‘OVER AUTHORIZED’ will be displayed. Deleted open tab transactions must be sent to the host during settlement.

Parameter ID Version
The parameter ID version number is included in every parameter update session and must be echoed back in subsequent parameter request messages to identify what version of the parameters are currently loaded.
PIN Pad Cash Back Entry
This option determines if Cash Back Entry will be requested via the PIN Pad. The parameter settings are: Y = The Cash Back will be entered via PIN Pad; N = The Cash Back will be entered via the terminal.
PIN Pad Tip Entry
This option determines if Tip entry will be requested via the PIN Pad. The parameter settings are: Y = The Tip will be entered via PIN Pad; N = The Tip will be entered via the terminal.
PIN Pad Type
The PIN pad type defines the type of PIN pad indicated in the FDMS merchant demographic record. The FDMS host only supports DUKPT key management. If the application determines that the PIN pad connected does not match the PIN PAD TYPE received from the host, a warning message should be displayed (each time the PIN pad is used) for 2 seconds and then PIN pad processing should be attempted with the connected PIN pad device.
Primary and Alternate Phone Numbers
The primary and alternate phone numbers are used for all communication to the FDMS Nashville host with the exception of a user initiated parameter update which must allow the entry of an override phone number. For all communication sessions, the terminal will first attempt to connect using the primary phone number and if that fails will try again using the alternate phone number. If the second attempt fails, the terminal will display an error/REDIAL message and allow the operator the option of re-dialing or aborting the session entirely.
Print Auth Only Receipts
This option enables and disables printing of a merchant and customer receipt for auth only transactions if the global PRINT RECEIPTS option is enabled, if the global PRINT RECEIPTS option is disabled, the print auth only receipt should be ignored.
Print Close Tab Receipts
This option enables and disables printing of a merchant and customer receipt for close tab transactions if the global PRINT RECEIPTS option is enabled, if the global PRINT RECEIPTS option is disabled, the print close tab receipt should be ignored.

Print Invoices (Receipts)
This option determines if the terminal will print receipts without affecting the printing of reports. Options are: Y = Invoices (Receipts) will be printed; N = Invoices (Receipts) will not be printed.
Print Open Tab Receipts
This option enables and disables printing of a customer receipt for open tab transactions if the global PRINT RECEIPTS option is enabled, if the global PRINT RECEIPTS option is disabled, the print open tab receipt should be ignored.
Print Receipts
This option enables and disables printing of a customer receipt. If disabled, receipt printing is disabled for ALL types of transaction; if enabled, other receipt printing options control the printing of other types of receipts (open tab, close tab, auth only...).
Printer Type
The printer type defines the type of printer indicated in the FDMS merchant demographic record. If the application determines that the printer connected does not match the PRINTER TYPE received from the host, a warning message should be displayed (each time the printer is used) for 2 seconds and then printer processing should be attempted with the connected printer device.
Processor Merchant Number
A processor merchant number is received for each card type that has a non-zero card type service. This number is typically printed on the customer receipt. The processor merchant number identifies a merchant to a processor such as VISA, MasterCard, Amex, etc…
Purchase Card Processing
This option determines if Level II purchase card prompts (Purchase Number and Sales Tax) will be requested on purchase card transactions. The parameters are: Y = Purchase card prompts will be requested on purchase card transactions; N = Purchase card prompts will not be requested on purchase card transactions.

Receipt Account Number Truncation
Many states now require truncation on the customer credit and debit card receipt copies. Merchant receipt copies are not affected. Truncation consists of two elements:
when part of the credit card number is obscured the card expiration date is not printed at all
Setting the Truncate Account # setting to Y accomplishes both elements of truncation. It masks all but the last four digits or the credit and debit card numbers with an “x” and it does not allow the expiration date of the card to print at all.
When enabled, a second/separate customer receipt will be printed (or re-printed) for roll and thermal printers - following the same guidelines (tear processing and options) as used for thermal printers today. “Merchant Copy” and “Customer Copy” should be printed on the appropriate receipt – the host “Print Top Copy” option should be ignored. The following matrix shows whether these flags apply for each receipt type; the flags should be ignored for non-applicable receipt types (the full account number and expiration date should be printed).

Determines how the totals will be printed on batch close reports. Two parameters: the Detail and Summary Totals parameter and the Net Summary parameter control this information. If both parameters are set to Y = card detail, check detail, card type totals, net grand totals and employee totals will print. If both parameters are set to N = only the card type totals and the net grand totals will print.
Startup Initialization Phone Numbers
The startup phone numbers (primary and alternate) are received in the download CONFIG.SYS file and are used to request the initial copy of the FDMS Features Screen. After the full program download has completed successfully, the terminal should drop the line and REDIAL using the phone numbers from CONFIG.SYS to obtain the initial copy of the FDMS initialization parameters. Normal processing should not be allowed until the process has completed successfully.
Startup Initialization Status Flag
The initial copy of the initialization parameters will include the STARTUP INITIALIZATION STATUS FLAG which can indicate any of the following:
Initialization complete - begin processing Initialization complete - reload open batch at host Initialization restart - hang up and try again using last phone numbers received
Summary ID
The summary ID is used to identify a settlement batch uniquely to the FDMS host. The host supplies the initial value for the summary ID during the initial startup parameter session. The terminal will increment the summary ID after each successful settlement session.

SETUP
After the terminals have been unpacked and installed they may require setup. The following procedures explain the setup procedures that are necessary to use the LinkPoint AIO and 3000 terminals. Please note that any setup procedures performed by the merchant must be attempted only after consulting with either your service provider help desk or sale representative. Most terminals arrive at the merchant location after these procedures have already been performed so they may not be necessary for normal merchant use.
Memory Clear
This function is only performed before a full application download. Do not perform a memory clear for parameter initialization or partial downloads. The memory clear function clears the terminal memory of previous application installations and other stored data and also prepares the terminal for a full application download.
IMPORTANT! Before a full application download can occur a full memory clear procedure must be performed. This feature will also delete an open batch, so please perform a batch close procedure before attempting a memory clear.
Please follow the procedures below to perform a full memory clear.

Password Protection
This procedure explains two things: how to change the password settings and how to add password protection to the credit and gift card transactions. Changing the password means having control over that setting in the program. Adding password protection to a transaction means that any user will have to enter the appropriate password to perform that transaction. This application features three levels of available password protection: MIN, which means the minimum level of password protection, MED, which means the medium or next level of password protection or MAX, which means the maximum level of available password protection. Any credit or gift card transaction can be set for any level of password protection. Please refer to the Password Section for more information on passwords. Please follow the steps below to set password protection on gift card transactions.
Password override: Any one of the three passwords can be overridden by entering the
override password for that day. The override password is the date set into the terminal squared plus the number of the month. For instance, to calculate the override password for February 15th, use the following formula: 15x15 +2=227. 227 is the override password and can be used to override all three levels of password protection.

Demo Mode
This procedure explains how to turn the demonstration mode or demo mode on and off. The demo mode is used for terminal testing and sales purposes. It is called demo mode because it demonstrates how the terminal looks and sounds when it processes transactions by simulating the actual response screens and even producing receipts. Any test transactions performed in a demonstration batch must be closed before the terminal exit demo mode.
Please note: It is important to stay out of this mode when trying to process real
transactions. The mode simulates actual transactions and if a real transaction is attempted while in demo mode, it will not be processed even though it will appear to do so. The message DEMO MODE will display as it alternates with the idle prompt and the words DEMO and DEMONSTRATTION ONLY will print on the receipts and reports.

CREDIT AND DEBIT CARD TRANSACTIONS
The application Nashville Config 690 01.07.00 can be used in the LinkPoint AIO (All-In­One) and the LinkPoint 3000 terminals to accept credit and debit cards to purchase goods and services. The terminal sends card information to a host computer, so that an approval code confirms the funds are available for eventual payment to the merchant.
The following section explains how entitlements such as credit and debit card processing works using the LinkPoint terminals. For information about card processing not covered in these procedures, please contact your credit card processing help desk or sales representative.
The transactions that are necessary for LinkPoint credit and debit card entitlement processing are:
Transaction Explanation
Sale Transaction pays for a purchase with a credit card. Debit Pays for and/or refunds items with a debit card. Tab Bar transaction that reserves card funds for later payment. Return Refunds or returns dollar value to a credit/debit card. Void Cancels a previously approved gift card purchase. Auth Only Reserves card funds for later payment, similar to bar tab. Offline Converts authorization only into a sale for final balancing. Editing Ability to change transaction amount for final settlement. Batch Close Settles transactions with host so merchant can be paid.
