EFTPOS MOBILE TERMINALS
Requirements for Different Communication Options on NAB EFTPOS Mobile Terminals
All communication options come configured on new terminals and when a new terminal is installed, it will be set up to
operate on either 3G Mobile (GPRS) or the merchant’s preferred communications option that already exists in store.
It is possible to switch to a different communications option after the terminal has been installed, provided that the
facility has been set up in store according to the terminal requirements. When these facilities are available in the store, the
merchant may initially need assistance from the Merchant Service Centre or Integrated Help Desk to ensure that any specific
configuration settings required for that store are set up for the terminals.
