Technical Details

The Ingenico device has intentionally been configured to use a Static IP, regardless of whether the merchant’s environment uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or a Static IP.

In all but the most extenuating circumstances, this configuration choice does not have a negative impact, and greatly simplifies the terminal setup procedure.

However, in rare cases, in DHCP environments, the IP address that was being used by the terminal is released and can no longer be used. As a result, communications to and from the terminal will fail. The user will need to re-run the Utility, which will ping the terminal again and cause it to acquire a new IP address. As before, the Utility displays this new IP address and the

user will have to configure the terminal as described in Running the EPX Setup Utility.
