Aloha terminal over wifi?
- Thread starter ericb03
- Start date
I recently set up a terminal with a net gear USB dongle.
The only issue was you have to set the lana number of the wifi adapter and protocol to 0 or the terminal will error out.
Do this using the program "Lanacfg" which may be on the terminal or you may need to DL it from the net.
I don't remember the commands you pass it but its pretty straight forward, you swap whatever the lana number of the wifi is for 0.

Are you processing credit cards through your POS?
If so, have you taken into account any PCI issues?

To the OP:
I found my copy of the lanacfg.exe on the E: drive of the BOH server in a folder called "MatrixUtilities" (Matrix is/was the local dealer here) so check that out if you havent already...On my system, theres a TON of goodies there and in "AlohaUtilities", even some I cant legally use (they stuck the UNPAID FOR add-ons in there
) Also make sure you get the XP version of Lanacfg.exe.
To anyone else:
Is CCards over wifi COMPLETELY against PCI or is it OK if its encrypted via WEP 128 or WPA?
Any links for the PCI compliance?
Also what is the deadline for PCI compliance with the Processors, etc?
We're running Aloha 5.3, so I KNOW we're not compliant already, whats the lowest version that is PCI?

Wifi seems convenient, but don't do your POS traffic on it. Especially if you are asking how, then your setup isn't safe enough to begin with.
Using a PCI compliant version of Aloha also doesn't make you compliant. It just means the software has passed the testing and contains the methods needed to be compliant. How you implement and operate determines the rest.
-Nothing personal, but I'm not knowingly going to use my credit card in any place that is going to swipe my credit card on an internet facing POS system with wifi.
