SHIFT4 - PMS / POS Setup (MENUS4CO)

 

Credit Card Masking

If this is a new install (you have never had Shift4) or your Shift4 install hasn't been updated in years, you must run a program to properly mask existing card numbers and prevent entry of unmasked card numbers in the future. The program name is MENUS4MK. See Run Program by Name.

 

MENUS4CO is the Shift4 configuration tool in the Execu/Tech software. (MENU Shift4 COnfiguration)

  • There are 4 tabs in MENUS4CO:

General
Merchant ID's
Card Types

Terminals

 

General Tab

 

 

NetAPI Tcp Host Connection
IP Address This is the IP Address of the UTG install. If more than one UTG is installed, this is the IP address of the one with the most devices connected. See Shift4 UTG IP Address and Port
Port This is the Port used by the UTG referenced above. Default = 17476. See Shift4 UTG IP Address and Port
Management Port No longer used. Default = 17411 
Timeout (seconds)
 How many seconds to wait before assuming the transaction has failed. Default = 45

Auth Bar Speed (Sec) The number of seconds the progress bar should take to reach 100%. Default = same as timeout. 

 

i4Go Auth URL URL used to obtain an Access Block (Authorizes your transaction) 
i4Go Access Token Access Token used to obtain an Access Block 
Site ID (1-99)  When multiple properties use the same account, a side ID must be prepended to the Terminal ID. Every UTG terminal must have a unique ID within the same account. This setting allows you to maintain existing Execu/Tech Terminal IDs in these situations. 
For example, Site ID 5 will turn Terminal ID 12 into Terminal ID 512.
Add site ID to terminal ID? (Y/N) This setting enables or disables the Site ID
