NOTE: In order to demonstrate the E.F.T. module with a demo system, the interface should be set to Emulation / Demonstration. Maitre'D will authorize and print a credit card vouchers. It does not actually charge cards or make any kind of actual processing with financial institutions. It prints vouchers as if the credit cards were approved. This demo/training feature can also be used to train servers for dealing with authorized and declined cards. Do not use the Emulation / Demonstration interface in a live sales environment, as cards will not actually be charged. To use this option, your Media Types must be already set up for E.F.T.
WARNING! : Never use Emulation / Demonstration in a live environment, for any reason. All transactions will be accepted, but the customer cards will never be charged. Also, card data from transactions done in Emulation / Demonstration mode cannot be retrieved in any report of any kind. This will result in a loss of revenue for the merchant.
Lane Identification
Enter a unique Lane Identification value that will be used when processing card transactions from the Maitre'D Back-Office. This value is used by the Datacap - DSIClientX interface.
NOTE: The Lane Identification value can use up to 8 alphanumerical characters. Special characters and spaces are not allowed. Each POS workstation where card payments are accepted and the Maitre'D Back-Office must each have a unique Lane Identification value. The Lane Identification for workstations is configured in Point of Sale Control / Workstation / Options / [pos #] / Workstation.
Meta Token
This option is available only with the Shift4 Interface. This option needs to be enabled to allow the Shift4 interface to use meta tokens.
Timeout
Enter the time out value, in seconds, after which the Maitre'D POS will time out during payment processing.
NOTE: For most processors, the recommended value is 120 seconds. In any case, the time out value configured in Maitre'D should be higher than combined time out values configured in payment devices or third-party software. This is meant to avoid situations where Maitre'D could potentially time out before a payment gets approved, creating discrepancies between Maitre'D and the payment processor.
For example, if Maitre'D times out and the payment is approved by the payment device a few seconds later, you would end up with an open check in Maitre'D while the customer's credit card has already been charged.
