IM ORTANT: READ FIRST
If this is your first OS terminal with Moneris:
Enclosed you should find your Moneris Visa Merchant
Agreement/Moneris MasterCard Merchant Agreement/
Moneris Discover Merchant Agreement/Moneris INTERAC
Merchant 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

Before you get started
1. Please confirm that you received:
•The Moneris iCT250 terminal.
•The power cable and adaptor.
•The dial cable and/or Ethernet cable.
•The white POS Admin card(s).
•If you ordered the optional external PINpad, check to confirm
that you received the iPP320 PINpad and cables.1
1If you are setting up the terminal to work as a semi-integrated device with your electronic
cash register (ECR), please note that the iPP320 PINpad is not supported (i.e., a semi-
integrated terminal cannot be used in con unction with an attached iPP320 PINpad).
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 closes
your batch at the end of each day) or Merchant Close (you are
responsible for closing your batch at the end of each day).
•Communications type: Dial or I /Ethernet (with or without dial
backup).
•Optional features (e.g. gift cards, loyalty cards, Ernex Terminal ID).
If any of the above required elements are missing, please call the
General Inquiries number below:
General Inquiries: 1-866-319-7450
4. Do one of the following:
• If you are setting up a standalone terminal (with or without
an external iPP320 PINpad): Proceed to Hardware setup on page 2.
• If you are setting up a semi-integrated terminal (to work
with your ECR): Refer to the Moneris iCT250 Using Your
Semi-integrated Terminal guide in your package, and follow the
instructions in the IMPORTANT: READ FIRST section of that guide.

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
dial backup as well (follow
steps 1 and 2 of the Dial setup
instructions) so that the
terminal can use dial backup
if your Internet service is
temporarily unavailable.
