Configuring Ethernet IP Connections on the PAX Terminal

You can connect the PAX A35 payment terminal to your local area network (LAN) using a wired Ethernet IP connection.

These are the IP connections that you can use to connect the PAX terminal to your LAN.

Dynamic IP connection: Description:
When using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) IP connection, the payment terminal is randomly assigned IP addresses by your internet service provider when you access the internet. This connection is also called a dynamic IP connection
.; Benefits:
Simplifies network management and eliminate the need to manually configure settings on each PAX terminal.; Get started:
See Configuring an Ethernet Dynamic IP Connection on the PAX Terminal.
Static IP connection: Description:
The static IP connection uses a single IP address that you specify in the terminal settings.; Benefits:
Improves network reliability, enhances security, and enables easier device management.; Prerequisite:
Before starting this configuration, the recommendation is to consult your IT department to obtain information that is required to configure this type of network connection.; Get started:
See Configuring an Ethernet Static IP Connection on the PAX Terminal.
Proxy IP connection: Description:
Use the proxy IP connection when your Wi-Fi network is hidden by a proxy server so that it cannot be detected as a publicly available network.; Benefits:
Masks your IP address, enhances online anonymity, encrypts your internet traffic, and protects data from being intercepted by third parties.; Prerequisite:
Before starting this configuration, the recommendation is to consult your IT department to obtain information that is required to configure this type of network connection.; Get started:
