Introduction; Application Files And Parameters - TeleCheck Eclipse Reference Manual

1.0 Introduction

This specification only describes the user interface and parameter setup.
For a description of the communication formats and message structure, please refer to the FDC ETC PLUS
Specification Document.
The Eclipse payment terminal will provide data capture capability at the point-of-sale. It will interact with the FDR
authorization computer (from now on called the host), to capture transaction detail for approved transactions and
provide report capabilities. A separate Demo Application is available. The demo application operates in the same
manner as the standard application except that it emulates communications in a positive flow.
Features of the terminal include:
- Credit/Debit Sale authorization
- Credit/Debit Refund authorization
- Credit TKT ONLY (offline --Force)
- Credit Auth Only
- Credit Voids and Corrections
- Refund and Void Password Protection
- Net Total of daily credit/debit sales and refunds
- Manual and Automatic report generation
- Auto-close
- Quick-close or Manual close
- Address Verification Service (AVS)
- Purchase Cards
- Amex Split Dial for Auths
Transaction storage capacity is 300 transactions. The default for "BATCH ALMOST FULL" is set at 250, and the
"BATCH FULL" parameter is defaulted to 300. The transactions may be viewed in one of three forms:
- credit/debit card transaction net totals
- credit/debit card transaction net totals by card type
- credit/debit card transaction detail listing
The reports can be viewed on the terminal display or they can be printed.
"PROCESSING..." is used to inform the user that the terminal is performing some operation (i.e. retrieving batch
records for reports).
If any errors occurred before closing, corrections can be made using the Force, Correction, or Void functions.
A receipt will be printed for each transaction approved by the host. Receipts will be generated for Force transactions
if the appropriate parameter is activated. Receipts must be printed for all Debit Transactions.

2.0 Application Files and Parameters

TeleCheck will maintain the check parameters and the application code files.
The Eclipse terminal is to be loaded before deployment with files from either ZONTALK or from modem downloads
through TeleCheck host. Merchant specific parameters are loaded through two partial downloads. One each from
TeleCheck and the Credit Card Processor. Each partial download should take no more than 90 seconds.
Credit Processor to maintain the credit parameters. Check parameters continue to upload to TeleCheck host if any
parameter is manually changed. The new parameter upload packet may reach a maximum of 2500 bytes.
