1Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a LAVA PayLink-IP/232. PayLink-IP devicess securely connect payment terminals to payment processors over an Ethernet/TCP/IP connection. Payment terminals that can transmit transaction information over a COM (RS-232) port can send information to the LAVA PayLink-IP/232. The LAVA PayLink-IP/232 establishes an SSL-secured connection to the payment processor, places the serial data in a TCP/IP wrapper and sends it out its Ethernet port. Data moving the other direction, from the Ethernet side of the LAVA PayLink-IP/232 to the payment terminal, undergoes the same process in reverse.
With a LAVA PayLink-IP/232, you can:
•Securely network payment terminals
•Stop using dial-up modems
