Wifi Standard (Home) vs. Enterprise Security

The principal differences between Wifi Standard (Home) and Enterprise Security can summarized as follows:

Standard (basic Wifi security)

Requires: SSID and Passphrase:

SSID - can be hidden or broadcast
- Standard channel details
  - 2.4 GHZ - Fully supported
  - 5 GHZ - Supported, except Hidden SSID - If Wifi SSID is Hidden, Ingenico Pin Pad cannot handle DSF Channels.
Passphrase - 63 Bytes (Alpha, Numeric)

Note: The following special characters are not supported for SSID and Passphrase:

“\” (backslash)
“~” (tilde)
“,” (comma)
“%” (percentage sign)

Enterprise Security (server controls connection)

note

To implement Wifi Enterprise, consult with your Elavon representative.

Requires: Standard Security plus Enterprise Security Details:

SSID
SSID Passphrase
Certificate
Certificate Password

The following table summarizes these differences:

Network Details Required	Standard Security	Enterprise Security
Service Set Identifier (SSID)	Yes	Yes
Passphrase	Yes	Yes
Certificate	No	Yes
Certificate Password	No	Yes

Updating Security Details

The SSID and Passphrase can be updated manually on the PIN pad.
Networking Certificate information is updated manually. An Elavon Solution Engineer requests a new Simplify package that includes the merchant’s updated Certificate.

Bluetooth Setup

Bluetooth communication with the POS is supported for the iSMP4, Link 2500 and (for non-Pay@Table) Move 5000.

Accessing Bluetooth Setup

Select Wireless Setup on the Elavon Main Menu to display the Wireless Setup menu.
Select Bluetooth Setup from the Wireless Setup menu to display the Bluetooth Setup menu:

note

The following screenshot was taken from a Link 2500 PIN Pad. Selections on the iSMP4 and Move 5000 are very similar, but with minor differences in verbiage, as shown below.

Available Configuration

1-Switch Off (or Disable/Enable) - This button is a toggle to enable or disable Bluetooth.
2-Phone Pairing (or Pair with phone) - Selecting this item will display information needed to pair the PIN Pad with a phone.
3-Add peripherals (or Add device) - Used to pair a device with the Simplify PIN Pad.
- When this item is selected, setup will search for available Bluetooth-capable devices and display a list of devices found.
- When a device is selected from this screen, a list of device types will be displayed.
- Select a type (typically Other) from this screen to pair the selected device with the Simplify PIN Pad.
4-Paired devices - Select this item to display a list of paired devices for the PIN Pad, and to remove pairings.
5-Advanced Options - When this item is selected, the Advanced options menu will be displayed. This menu allows users to manage Bluetooth settings.

Note: the following procedures are described using verbiage from the Link 2500.

Renaming a Paired Device with a User-Friendly Name

To facilitate working with a paired device (e.g. a computer running the POS application), it is recommended that the device be renamed with a user-friendly name. To rename a computer:

Go to Windows Bluetooth settings on the computer and remove the pairing with the terminal. Restart the computer.
Start the terminal and use the green key to access the Elavon Main Menu. Select Wireless, then Bluetooth Setup.
Select Paired Devices from the Bluetooth Setup menu. Select the computer, then select Disassociate to remove the pairing.
Select Advanced options from the Bluetooth Setup menu, then Rename. Type in a user-friendly name for the computer and press the green key.
Select Add peripherals from the Bluetooth Setup menu. Select the computer under its new name. A pairing code will be displayed.
On the computer, go to Windows Bluetooth settings and select the terminal from the list of available devices. A pairing code will be displayed. Verify that this code matches the code displaying on the terminal and press OK.
Exit the Bluetooth Setup menu and allow the terminal to reboot
The terminal is now ready to connect to the computer via Bluetooth, under its new name.

Connecting the Simplify Terminal to a Device

Go to the Bluetooth Setup menu and select Add peripherals. A list of available devices will be displayed. Select the device you want to connect to. You will then be prompted to select the device type. Select Other.
A pairing code will appear on the terminal. This code should match the pairing code displayed on the device you want to connect to. If the codes match, press OK to validate the code appearing on the terminal. The message “Pairing successful” will be displayed.
After the device is paired, exit the Elavon Main Menu and allow the terminal to reboot. Once the terminal has booted, it is ready to connect to the device.

GPRS Setup

For Move 5000 devices, Simplify supports the use of GPRS for host communications (an Elavon provided SIM card must be present in the device).

GPRS can be selected as the host communications type under Communications Setup. Another selection tells Simplify to use GPRS w/WiFi priority (use GPRS only if WiFi is unavailable). In either case, GPRS (when used) will operate as configured under GPRS Setup.

The host communications type is set under Communications Setup. Besides selecting GPRS, this menu can be used to select GPRS w/Wifi priority. In either case, GPRS (when used) will operate as configured under GPRS Setup.

If GPRS is selected, Simplify will attempt to connect to GPRS during initialization. If connection is lost, Simplify will attempt to re-connect when idle.

Accessing GPRS Setup

Note: The following screenshot was taken from a Move 5000 PIN Pad.

Select Wireless Setup on the Elavon Main Menu to display the Wireless Setup menu.
Select GPRS Setup from the Wireless Setup menu to display the GPRS Setup menu:

Available Configuration

APN - Access Point Name for SIM.
Password - Password for SIM.
Login - Login for SIM. Can be left blank.
