Hardware Telium Payment Terminal

This module adds support for credit card reader and checks printers using the Caisse Concert protocol. This module is designed to be installed:

• either on the POSbox (i.e. the proxy on which the USB devices are connected) and not on the main Odoo server.
• either as pywebdriver <https://github.com/akretion/pywebdriver>_ dependency

On the main Odoo server, you should install the module pos_payment_terminal.

The configuration of the hardware is done in the configuration file of the Odoo server of the POSbox. You should add the following entries in the configuration file:

• payment_terminal_device_name (default = /dev/ttyACM0)
• payment_terminal_device_rate (default = 9600)

The Caisse Concert protocol is used by many payment terminals in France from different manufacturers (Ingenico, Sagem, Verifone). From our experience, this protocol is only used in France.

In France, Ingenico has the biggest market-share on payment terminals. In France, Ingenico terminals are loaded with the Telium Manager software stack which implements the Caisse Concert protocol natively. This module implements the protocol E+ (and not the protocol E), so it requires a Telium Manager version 37783600 or superior.

To get the version of the Telium Manager on an Ingenico terminal:

::

press F > 0-TELIUM MANAGER > 2-Consultation > 4-Configuration

2-Software > 1-TERMINAL > On Display > Telium Manager

and then read the field M20S.

You will need to configure your payment terminal to accept commands from the point of sale. On an Ingenico terminal:

::

press F > 0-TELIUM MANAGER > 5-Initialization > 1-Parameters > Cash Connection and then select On and then USB or USB Base according to used cable.

After that, you should reboot the terminal (normally by clicking simultaneously on keys yellow and #). This module has been successfully tested with:

• Ingenico EFTSmart4S
• Ingenico EFTSmart2 2640 with Telim Manager version 37784503
• Ingenico iCT220
• Ingenico iCT250
• Ingenico i2200 cheque reader and writer

This module has been developped during a POS code sprint at Akretion France from July 7th to July 10th 2014. This module is part of the POS project of the Odoo Community Association http://odoo-community.org/. You are invited to become a member and/or get involved in the Association !
