IMPORTANT: READ FIRST

If this is your first POS terminal with Moneris:

Enclosed you should find your Moneris Visa Merchant
Agreement/Moneris MasterCard Merchant Agreement/
Moneris Debit Card and Terminal Agreement/Terms
and Conditions. If this document is not enclosed,
please do not proceed with this installation. Instead,
contact us at 1-866-319-7450. Once you have obtained
the required document, please proceed with your
installation.

Before you get started

1. Please confirm that you received:

• The Moneris iWL220 terminal and base.

• The power cable.

• The dial and/or Ethernet cables.

• The white POS Admin card.

2. If your terminal will be communicating with the Moneris host

over High-Speed Ethernet, please review the Moneris IP Readiness

Checklist (available at moneris.com/checklist) and ensure that

your Ethernet service is ready to support your terminal.

3. Make sure you have the following information (provided when

Moneris contacted you to confirm your terminal order):

• Your 13-digit Moneris Merchant ID. If you currently have a

9-digit merchant number beginning with a 1, 2 or 4, simply
add 0030 to the beginning (i.e., 123456789 becomes

0030123456789).

• Settlement type: System Close (Moneris automatically settles

your transactions at the end of each day) or Merchant Close
(you are responsible for settlement/close batch at the end
of each day).

• Communications type: Dial or IP/Ethernet (with or without

dial backup).

• Optional features (e.g. gift cards, loyalty cards, Ernex Terminal ID).

at step 3 of Hardware setup (on page 4).

Hardware setup

1

Dial Setup High-Speed Ethernet Setup

a. Open the back panel

on the underside of the
base so that the port
compartment is visible.

b. Plug one end of the phone

cable into the MODEM
port located in the
compartment.

c. Flatten the cable in the

compartment space so
that the back panel can
be snapped back into
place.

d. Close the back panel.

Plug one end of the Ethernet
cable into base port shown
here.

Dial Setup High-Speed Ethernet Setup

Plug the other end of the dial
cable into an analog phone
jack.

Recommendation: Use a

dedicated phone line for the
terminal. Sharing the line
with another device (e.g. a fax
machine) can cause
communication problems.
If using a splitter, test both
devices and note that the
terminal and other device
cannot use the phone line
together.

Plug the other end of the
Ethernet cable into the router/
switch/hub/internal wiring –
whatever is applicable to the
high-speed Internet service
at your location. (If necessary,
please refer to the Moneris IP

Readiness Checklist available

at moneris.com/checklist.)

Recommendation: Set up also

for dial, which will be used
as backup for IP (follow steps 1
and 2 of the Dial Setup
instructions).
