Administration And Configuration - TD Generation Merchant Manual

Administration and Configuration

The TD Generation offers you a variety of options to personalize the terminal while helping you to administer
your business. Some standard administration features are:
• User Management (creating, editing, deleting and unlocking locked user IDs)
• Parameter Updates (updating your settings on the terminal to reflect new information such as new
accepted payment types)
• Communications (changes to your terminal's communication method)
• Training Mode (enable/disable this setting to train new employees on how to use the terminal)
• Receipts (changes to how and when they are printed)
Any changes that you make on the terminal will be overwritten the next time that you perform a Host 1 or Host
download after a settlement request. Please contact the TD Merchant Solutions Help Desk to make any permanent
changes to your terminal.
Administering the terminal
By utilizing the user types, you can help secure your terminal by setting what terminal functionality that each of
your employees can access. Listed below are the user types and their functionality.
Note: There is a user hierarchy that determines who can access certain functionality:
• Administrator (highest),
• Manager,
• Supervisor, and
• Operator (lowest).
TD Merchant Solutions strongly suggests that you create and use a manager ID for your day-to-day business
needs and only use the administrator ID when absolutely necessary. Some functions that require an
administrator ID are.
• Adding, editing, deleting or unlocking manager IDs
• Any functionality that you have protected with an administrator login
TD Merchant Solutions strongly suggests that when you create your administrator and manager IDs that
you record and store them in a safe place for future reference.
