Transactions
In order to perform a transaction, enter the required details onto your Point Of
Sale (POS) and send the transaction to the terminal.
This will initiate the Sale process on the Link 2500 terminal.
Contactless card transactions are performed when the transaction value is under the contactless card limit (e.g. £30.00). Your terminal will only prompt for a card to be presented when a contactless transaction is allowed.
When a contactless transaction is allowed your terminal will show a contactless icon on the screen. The terminal will prompt for contactless card or contactless device to be presented depending on the amount.
Contactless transactions that are above a pre-set value (Floor Limit) will go online for authorisation.

Contactless High Value Payment (HVP) – Wallet Payments
High Value Payments are contactless payments that are above the limit for contactless cards (e.g. £30.00) but are protected by the cardholder verifying themselves to the mobile phone either by the use of a scanned thumb/fingerprint in the case of Apple Pay, or by the entry of a pass code for other mobile phone manufacturers.
This process is known as a Cardholder Device
Cardholder Verification Method or CDCVM for short.
This means that once HVP is enabled, the contactless logo will be displayed on your terminal for all transactions rather than just those under the contactless card limit (e.g. £30.00).
Acceptance of normal contactless cards for transactions below the £30 limit will continue as normal and, if a cardholder taps a contactless card for a transaction above the £30 limit, the terminal will instruct them to complete the transaction using chip and PIN.
In some cases, a cardholder may need to tap their mobile phone against the contactless reader twice. This is because they have not pre entered their
CDCVM on their device prior to starting the transaction and their device has prompted them to complete their CDCVM and tap the phone again. The cardholder should follow the instructions on their device to complete the transaction.
Dealing with Contactless Card Read Failures
A contactless card read may fail, and the customer will be prompted to represent their card.
If the card is removed too soon, before all four contactless status lights are lit; before the confirmation tone is heard; or before prompted to remove the card, the card read will fail.
Link/2500 User Guide

£1.23
TRY AGAIN
If the card is removed too soon the card read will fail. An alert tone will sound and the customer will be prompted to re-present the card.
If more than one contactless card is presented to the contactless card read zone together then the card read will fail. This may occur if the card is presented in a wallet with other contactless payment cards, or other contactless cards such as public transport smart cards.
PLEASE PRESENT
ONLY ONE CARD
If more than one card is presented the card read will fail. An alert tone will sound and the customer will be prompted to re-present the card.
In both cases the terminal will continue as per a normal contactless sale to complete the transaction.

Mailorder Transactions (Customer Not Present)
You must ensure that this option is enabled on your acquirers
Merchant Account.
Your terminal is pre-configured for Mailorder (Customer Not Present) transactions.
Mailorder transactions are performed without the customer or the card being present. All card details must be manually entered so please take note of what information will be asked for by your terminal. If supported by your acquirer and by the card type taken, you will have the option of entering the CSC (Card
Security Code) and using the AVS (Address Verification Service).
The CSC is the last three digits of the number printed on the signature strip on the back of the card. To use AVS checking, you will be prompted to input only the digits from the customer’s postcode and address.
For American Express cards there is a four digit Card Security
Code printed on the front of the card, any numbers on the signature strip should be ignored.
The response from the acquirer will then give you the result of the security checks to help you decide if you wish to continue with the transaction.
Mailorder - CSC/AVS Results
Please be aware that the CSC/AVS result is intended only to guide you in a decision to void or confirm an already authorised transaction. Contact your acquirer for more information and details of liability.

Enter the Card details,
CSC and AVS info as required
.
When you see this prompt, enter the numbers from the card’s billing address postcode (e.g. 119 for
KY11 9JU) and press the button.
If you see this prompt, enter the numbers from the card’s billing address (e.g. 221 for
221b Baker Street) and press the button.
Enter the sale amount in pence (e.g. 2134 for
£21.34) and press the
button.
The terminal will connect to the acquirer for authorisation.
If the transaction has been authorised then an auth code will be displayed, together with the CSC/AVS check result. You must decide whether to continue with the transaction.
Reversals
If a mistake in a transaction is identified immediately after the transaction has been completed, then the transaction can be completely reversed by selecting the Reversal function within 30 seconds of the end of the transaction.
This function is particularly useful when the wrong transaction amount has been entered, and the mistake is only noticed on the customer copy.
To perform a Reversal select REVERSAL on the POS.
If the 30 second timer has not expired then your terminal will perform the
Reversal, contacting the acquirer if necessary.
Link/2500 User Guide
Copyright© 2019 Ingenico
Page 21
When a Reversal has been successfully performed the original transaction and the Reversal will not appear on the customer’s bank statement.
The original transaction and the Reversal will appear on your Banking and X/Z
Balance reports. Reversals are recorded as the opposite of the original transaction: if you reverse a Sale then the Reversal will be shown as a Refund; or if you reverse a Refund then the Reversal will be shown as a Sale.
You have 30 seconds of the end of transaction to perform reversal. Once that elapsed the transaction cannot be reversed.

Page 22
Declined Transactions
The customer’s card, card issuer or the acquirer can decline to authorise any transaction.
A declined response from the acquirer’s host system will display a message on your terminal in place of the usual AUTH CODE: xxxxx message. This can be, for example, DECLINED, NOT AUTHORISED, or RETAIN CARD. This message will be displayed on the screen for up to 60 seconds, or until the enter key is pressed.
A declined receipt will be printed which clearly indicates that the transaction has not been authorised. It will also show the message from the acquirer if such message is present.
Transactions with an inserted chip card may be declined by the card without the terminal contacting the acquirer’s host system. You should advise the customer to contact their card issuer and request another means of payment.
If your terminal is unable to contact the acquirer for a transaction with an inserted Chip card, the transaction maybe declined by the card with the message COMMS FAILURE DECLINED.
If you are prompted to retain the customer card you should follow the standard procedures as laid down by your acquirer.

Referrals
A transaction may be referred for voice authorisation if an extra security check is required by the acquirer. The terminal will display or print instructions to call the acquirer. If a telephone number is not shown please use the standard voice authorisation number as supplied by that acquirer.
Once you have dialled or made a note of the telephone number press the button to continue.
Please be ready to quote your merchant number, the full card number and any referral message that was displayed (such as REFERRAL B or CODE 10
REFER). The authorisation centre may need to speak to the customer.
If requested to do so by the authorisation centre operator, you may remove the card from your terminal after a referral request in order to do further visual checks on the card; at all other times, you should only remove the card when prompted to do so by your terminal.
If the transaction is authorised by the authorisation centre, your terminal will prompt you to enter both your supervisor code and the authorisation code. You should take care entering the authorisation code to avoid unnecessary chargebacks from your acquirer.
Your terminal will also refer transactions if it is unable to contact the acquirer.
This can happen during exceptionally busy periods when the acquirer’s host system cannot answer the authorisation request.
If you experience a high volume of referrals there may be a problem with your connection. This will be indicated by the diagnostic (DIAG) codes printed on the receipt. Refer to the section entitled Diagnostic Codes for more details
FRAUD ALERT: Your acquirer will never contact you via telephone call asking you to use a temporary authorisation centre telephone number.

Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions
Q My terminal displays NOT READY on the idle screen, what do I do?
Your terminal is not initialised, or has failed an automatic TMS call.
Press once, and choose the SETUP menu option. You should contact the terminal Helpdesk if the problem persists after a successful TMS Call.
Q What should I do if I have forgotten my Supervisor code?
You should first try the default code of 01483, if this is not the code then please contact the terminal Helpdesk who will reset the code
Q What does it mean when the terminal displays PIN TRIES EXCEEDED ?
The card has been locked after too many failed PIN entry attempts.
It may be possible to perform a PIN Bypass. The customer should contact their card issuer to change their PIN, or if they do know it they can unlock it at any ATM.
.
Q What should I do if my Bluetooth terminal shows a flashing number, or no number, on the Bluetooth status section of the screen?
If the number is flashing ensure that the base unit with the Serial
Number displayed is powered on and in range. If this is the case then power off the terminal and the base unit. Power back on the base unit and then place the terminal on that base unit and wait for the Bluetooth status to update. If the problem persists you should contact the terminal Helpdesk.
If there is no number displayed then power off the terminal and the base unit. Power back on the base unit and then place the terminal on that base unit and wait for the Bluetooth status to update. You should refer to the section entitled Bluetooth Association for further details. If the problem persists you should contact the terminal Helpdesk.
Link/2500 User Guide

Page 33
Q What do I do if the customer has forgotten their PIN code?
If your acquirer allows it, you can perform a PIN Bypass to bypass the entry of the PIN code, by pressing the cancel button followed promptly by the button twice . If the card allows the PIN Bypass you may find that the acquirer declines the transaction.
Transactions taken by PIN Bypass are subject to chargebacks so you should make other careful checks on the card and cardholder as laid out by your acquirer. For more information on the use of PIN
Bypass please contact your acquirer.
Q I would like to refer a transaction before I attempt a transaction on the terminal as I am suspicious?
You should contact the authorisation centre and ask for a ‘Code 10
Referral’, this alerts the operator why you are asking for the referral, without arousing suspicion with the customer.
Q Every transaction that I take is producing a referral, am I doing something incorrectly?
Bluetooth terminals require either a telephone line or LAN in order to operate. You should check that the base unit is connected correctly and that the telephone line or LAN are working correctly.
If there is a problem with the internet connection you should contact your telecommunications supplier.
Q A number of contactless transactions prompt that the card should be inserted or swiped, is this normal?
It is routine that a contactless card will require a further security check occasionally. If the card is used for a lot of contactless transactions then this should be expected.
Q I am unable to take contactless transactions, am I doing something incorrectly?
The contactless option will only become active when the transaction amount is under the contactless limit (e.g. £30.00).
Not all cards are enabled for contactless transactions, please ensure that the card presented to terminal is a contactless card, the customer should contact their card issuer if they are unsure.

Security of the terminal
This device fulfils current applicable PCI PTS security requirements. Upon receipt of the terminal you should check for signs of tampering of the equipment. It is strongly advised that these checks are performed regularly after receipt. Check, for example: that the keypad is firmly in place; that there is no evidence of unusual wires that have been connected to any ports on the terminal or associated equipment, the chip card reader or any other part of the terminal. Such checks would provide warning of any unauthorised modifications to the terminal, and other suspicious behaviour of individuals that have access to your terminal. The terminal detects any “tampered state”.
In this state the terminal will repeatedly flash the message ”Alert Irruption!” and further use of the terminal will not be possible. If the “Alert Irruption!” message is observed, contact the terminal helpdesk immediately.
It is strongly advised that privileged access to the terminal is only granted to staff that have been independently verified as being trustworthy.
The terminal must never be put in or left at a location where it could be stolen or replaced by another device.

Fixed installation
If the device is to be used in a situation where it is not possible for the cardholder to pick up and shield their PIN entry themselves, the device may be used without PIN shield, but it must be installed in the following manner: a)
The device must be angled at 45 or more, so that oversight of the PIN entry from the rear of the device is not possible. b)
The device must either be fitted in a swivel stand, so that the customer can position the device in the best angle to prevent oversight or the device must be fixed in the best possible position to prevent oversight if such a generic position exists in the specific environment to which the device is installed. c)
The device environment must be accompanied with conspicuous notices and educational material which informs the customer to shield their PIN during PIN entry. d)
The device must be deployed so that oversight from other customers, either in different payment lanes, or in other areas of the shopping environment, is prevented. This may be achieved through the placement of the lanes and device, so that the customer is automatically positioned between the device keypad and other customers. Alternatively, it may be achieved by the environment in which the device is installed, so that the checkout itself shields the PIN entry process. e)
The terminal is exclusively made for indoor use.
If the above conditions are not fulfilled, a PIN shield must be used.
Positioning of the terminal on check stand must be in such a way to make cardholder PIN (Personal Identification Number) spying infeasible.
Installing device on an adjustable stand must be in such a way that consumers can swivel the terminal sideways and/ or tilt it forwards / backwards to a position that makes visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult.
Positioning of in-store security cameras must be such a way that the PINentry keypad is not visible.
NEVER ask the customer to divulge their PIN Code. Customers should be advised to ensure that they are not being overlooked when entering their PIN
Code.
