Welcome to TD Merchant Solutions

The following materials will provide helpful information about the equipment, its features and TD Merchant
Solutions. Please ensure you read this guide so that you become familiar with the capabilities of the TD
Generation terminals and how they can support your business needs.
By now your terminal is installed and now it's time for you to learn more about its features and capabilities.

Who should use this guide?

You would use this guide if you use a TD Generation (All-in-One, HSPA and WiFi) during the course of your daily
business.

The TD Generation family

The terminal is solely for you, the Merchant. You will use the terminal to initiate transactions for customer's
using credit or debit cards (Visa®, Mastercard®, Discover®, American Express®, Interac® Direct Payment,
UnionPay®, etc.) and mobile wallets. Depending on your settings, some card types may not be accepted by
your terminal.
To learn how to use other cards, please go to our online documentation at
www.TDMerchantSolutions.com/ResourceCentre.

Hardware terminology

There are a few hardware terms we use in the guide that you should know to optimize your interactions with the
TD Generation package.
• Access point / Repeater - For every site that uses one or more WiFi terminals, it will also include an
access point to allow the terminals to perform financial transactions. If that access point's wireless
signal range is unable to cover the entire work space – such as a very large restaurant – a repeater
will be added. This repeater will cover the remaining work space and must overlap with the access
point's wireless coverage area to facilitate communication.
All-In-One (AIO) terminal - This is a wired terminal connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable or
•
a dial-up phone line through the Hub.
Charger base - A charger base is used for the HSPA and WiFi terminal to keep it charged when it is
•
not in use. This is an optional piece of equipment as either terminal can be connected to the included
power cord and recharged via an electrical outlet.
• HSPA terminal - This terminal uses the same cell towers that a mobile phone would use in order to
perform financial transactions and does not require cabling to connect to the Internet.
• Hub - A hub is always paired with the All-In-One terminal as it connects the terminal to an electrical
outlet and the Internet.
• WiFi terminal - This is a wireless terminal that uses a specialized router called the access point. As
this device does not require cabling to connect to the Internet, this terminal can be used within a
large area as long as it is within the signal range of the access poin. If the area is too large for the
access point, repeaters will be added to provide coverage.
