  8. Click Next.
  9. Click Install.
  10. Click Finish.
  11. Validate the COM (Communications) port by going into the Windows Control Panel to the Devices and Printers.



Update the triPOS Config File


Make sure you carefully review all the settings within the triPOS.config file. Each field impacts the cardholder experience and how transactions process through the Point of Sale software. It is recommended to edit the tripos.config file that gets installed with triPOS since it's the one that will work with that version. You can download something like Visual Studio Code to edit a little better then Notepad.


When selecting the <driver> in the config file the following corresponds to the correct chip reader


  • Verifone MX 915 Chip Reader: VerifoneFormAgentXpi
  • Verifone VX 805 Chip Reader: VeriFoneCXpi


<!–Driver values can be: Null, VeriFoneXpi, VeriFoneCXpi, VerifoneFormAgentXpi, IngenicoRba.–>

 <driver>ChangeMe</driver>

Update the following information. You can do a search for ChangeMe and that will find everything that needs to be changed for the client installation. The <acceptorId> element will have ChangeMe replaced with their with the Merchant ID.

 <!--Your Express Acceptor ID which is also your Merchant ID.-->
 <acceptorId>ChangeMe</acceptorId>

The <accountId> element will have ChangeMe replaced with their with the Account ID.

 <!--Your Express Account ID.-->
 <accountId>ChangeMe</accountId>

The <accountToken> element will have ChangeMe replaced with their with the Account token which is the long hexadecimal string from the Worldpay portal.

 <!--Your Express Account Token.-->
 <accountToken>ChangeMe</accountToken>

The <pinPadIdleMessage> element will have ChangeMe replaced with their with the Salon's name e.g. Welcome to Interactive Designs Inc. There is a limit of 32 characters for this message.

 <!--Message to display on the PIN pad when it is idle-->
 <pinPadIdleMessage>Welcome to CHANGEME</pinPadIdleMessage>

The <comPort> element will have ChangeMe replaced with the communication port (COM Port) for the ingenico device. It can be found in Devices and Printers or the Windows Device Manager.

 <!--If the PIN pad is not connected via IP, name of serial device to which the PIN pad is attached (e.g. COM1, /dev/tty1, etc).-->
 <comPort>COMChangeMe</comPort>

The <message> element will have ChangeMe replaced with their with the Salon's name e.g. Welcome to Interactive Designs Inc. There is a limit of 32 characters for this message.

 <!--Message to display on the PIN pad when it is idle-->
 <message>Welcome To ChangeMe!</message>
 

Validate Lane/Device Configurations The following configurations must be completed for each terminal using a triPOS device:

  • Lane ID ‐ This is the lane to which the triPOS device is assigned. This must be unique per terminal. Each terminal with an EMV device attached has a specific Lane ID which will be used to identify from which terminal an EMV transaction was executed.
  • Search for <serialLane description=“Counter 1” laneId=“1”>
  • This information will be used for SalonTouch to connect to the triPOS service.

IMPORTANT: If you have multiple devices in a triPOS.config file, make sure to use the same terminalId or each device will have a separate batch.

  • Example: Terminal 1 will use terminalId “0001”, Terminal 2 will use terminalId “0002”.
  • Example: Terminal 1 will use Lane ID 1, Terminal 2 will use Lane ID 2.
  • Terminal ID ‐ The Terminal ID will be the same as the Merchant number that is emailed to the merchant when they board the account.
  • TerminalID is used so that each terminal batches out on a separate batch settlement. The default terminalID is 0001. If they are all the same, it will batch on the same settlement report.
  • Validate triPOS is Ready! To validate that triPOS is successfully installed, go to http://localhost:8080/api/help on the workstation with triPOS Installed. If triPOS is installed you will be able to see the Version on this page in addition to accessing the Swagger Documentation and Release
  • • Notes. (8080 here is specific to the port you have assigned to the chip reader.) We should not be changing the listening port on any install at this time.
  • Go to Windows Services and validate that you have the triPOS.NET service running.
