TSYSTerminalMgr Component
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The TSYSTerminalMgr component is used to authenticate and deactivate POS devices on the TSYS Terminal Capture platform.
Syntax
nsoftware.InPayDirect.Tsysterminalmgr
Remarks
The TSYSTerminalMgr component makes authenticating and deactivating terminals simple. Terminal authentication can help reduce fraud risk and is recommended. Before authenticationg a device an AuthenticationCode must be obtained from TSYS. Provide the AuthenticationCode and other merchant information when calling AuthenticateDevice to obtain a GenKey.
Once the GenKey is obtained include this in all transactions from the terminal. When processing transactions
using other components the GenKey may be specified via the Config method. For example:
TSYSRetail1.Config(
"GenKey=MY_GEN_KEY"
);
To deactivate a terminal set GenKey and call DeactivateDevice.
Authenticating a Terminal
AuthenticateDevice authenticates a POS device with TSYS. After a device is authenticated GenKey will hold a unique value that should be included in all future transaction requests from the terminal. Before calling this method an AuthenticationCode must be obtained from TSYS.
The following Merchant fields are applicable when calling this method:
- BankId
- CategoryCode
- CountryCode
- CurrencyCode
- Language
- Number
- ServicePhone
- StoreNumber
- TerminalNumber
- TimeZone
- Zip
After calling this method check Code to determine if the authentication succeeded. If the authentication succeeded Code will be "A1" and GenKey will be populated. If authentication failed Code will be "A2".
In addition to GenKey the following Response fields are populated:
AuthenticateDevice Example:TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.BankId =
"999999"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.CategoryCode =
"9999"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.Name =
"TESTMERCHANT"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.Number =
"888000002447"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.StoreNumber =
"5999"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.TerminalNumber =
"1234"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.Zip =
"27516"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.ServicePhone =
"6023337807"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.TransactionNumber = 1234;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.AuthenticationCode =
"N123456789"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.AuthenticateDevice();
string
genkey =
""
;
if
(TSYSTerminalMgr1.Response.Code ==
"A1"
)
//approved
genkey = TSYSTerminalMgr1.GenKey;
Processing Transactions
When processing transactions with other components in the toolkit smply set the "GenKey" configuration setting.
For instance:
TSYSRetail1.TransactionAmount =
"1200"
;
TSYSRetail1.TransactionNumber = 2345;
TSYSRetail1.IndustryType = TsysretailIndustryTypes.sitRetail;
TSYSRetail1.Card.EntryDataSource = EntryDataSources.edsTrack1;
TSYSRetail1.Card.MagneticStripe =
"B4444333322221111^DOE/JOHN E ^091210100000033301000000008000000"
;
TSYSRetail1.Config(
"GenKey="
+ genkey);
TSYSRetail1.Authorize();
Deactivating a Terminal
DeactivateDevice is used to deactivate a previously activated terminal identified by GenKey.
The following Merchant fields are applicable when calling this method:
- BankId
- CategoryCode
- CountryCode
- CurrencyCode
- Language
- Number
- ServicePhone
- StoreNumber
- TerminalNumber
- TimeZone
- Zip
After calling this method check Code and confirm it is "A3" to indicate the deactivation succeeded. The following Response fields are populated:
DeactivateDevice Example:
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.BankId =
"999999"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.CategoryCode =
"9999"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.Name =
"TESTMERCHANT"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.Number =
"888000002447"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.StoreNumber =
"5999"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.TerminalNumber =
"1234"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.Zip =
"27516"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.Merchant.ServicePhone =
"6023337807"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.TransactionNumber = 1234;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.GenKey =
"MY_GEN_KEY"
;
TSYSTerminalMgr1.DeactivateDevice();
if
(TSYSTerminalMgr1.Response.Code ==
"A3"
)
