This section serves to show you how to set the system date, time, branch code, terminal code and network settings. The administrator password is required for the system administrator to access the system menu and to configure the system parameters.
Date time can be set either on key pad in the Administrator’s menu or through the browser. The real time clock inside iBonus is battery operated. It takes a day to charge up the battery and it can run the real time clock for about one day. Please do the followings to ensure the clock running correctly:
Do not switch off the iBonus Terminal
Match the time with a time server by SNTP protocol.*
*Please read the session Time Zone Settings and Auto Time Synchronization.
The Branch Code (4 numeric digits) is used to identify a branch shop. The Terminal Code (4 numeric digits) is used to identify a terminal in a branch shop or office.
For example, there 2 shops identified by branch code 1001 or 1002. There are 4 Terminals in shop 1001 and 3 Terminals in shop 1002.
The seven Terminals will be identified as:

You can connect iBonus Terminal directly to your corporate network. To do so, you would need to assign a device name & an IP address to the product. It is possible to use the DHCP server in your network to dynamically assign the IP address, but it is suggested to assign a static IP address to the product.
The server IP address can be set in the Terminal. All connection between the Server and Terminal is origin from iBonus Terminal. If Terminal and Server is connected through the Internet, no network address translation or port forwarding is needed at the Terminal side. Â
