Information for merchants using terminals
connecting directly to Internet |
|
With the introduction of Internet communication for payment
terminals, vendors and acquirers have to consider that firewalls might block the
outgoing traffic from the terminal over the router infrastructure of the
merchant to the acquirer. In that case the terminal will not be able connect the
acquirer’s systems over the ADSL or cable broadband connection.
Parties on the Internet are identified with IP addresses.
Firewall settings involve the declaration of IP addresses the terminal is
allowed to access and require a local setup for individual routers installed by
or on behalf of merchants. Firewall settings can also be defined at the level of
managed Internet networks, such as the GPRS service for mobile communication.
