  • Enabled
  • SAF Mode: Offline on Demand


Note
titleInitial Setup of Pax:
  • Leave SAF turned OFF for first test transactions with the Merchant ID, Terminal ID and Group ID.
    • If SAF is turned on, an "Approval" on the Order Entry app is not sufficient when testing as SAF will return an "Approval Offline" in Pax.log, but will show "Approval" on Order Entry app. "Approval Offline" in Pax.log could indicate that the communication or account information is incorrect. It will continue to fail "Approve Offline" and the site would never get payments.
  • SAF can be turned ON and the device updated when the account info and communication have been validated with an "Approval" message in the c:\program files\custom business solutions\NorthStar Order Entry\Log\Pax.log, for each PAX device
