Introduction
This guide provides a reference for merchants and their staff in operating the VeriFone terminals for payment card transactions and the FEXCO DCC service.
FEXCO Merchant Services (FMS) is a global leader in the provision of Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) along with many other transaction service solutions. With FMS services and solutions, merchants can generate new revenue streams and increase cardholder satisfaction.
1.1 What is DCC?DCC is a convenient service that offers international cardholders the choice to pay for goods or services in their home currency. The DCC service is available on VISA and MasterCard credit and debit card transactions.
It is important to remember that DCC is not an additional charge for international cardholders; it simply replaces the current currency conversion process applied by card schemes and issuers.
5
1.1.1 DCC Screen OfferThe following sample screens illustrate how DCC is displayed to the cardholder on a mobile terminal.
1.2 About Contactless TransactionsThe terminal now supports contactless transactions—which means a cardholder can simply tap the terminal with their credit to make a payment.
The contactless functionality uses near field communication (NFC) with payment cards that have an embedded chip and antenna. Contactless transactions are permitted for purchases of up to EUR 30 or GBP 30.
A detailed procedure is provided in “Section 3.3.3, Sale—Contactless Transaction,” on page 16.

Chapter 2
Setting Up the Mobile Terminal
This chapter describes how to set up the following Vx 680 terminal types:
• Bluetooth for IP and PSTN
• GPRS
2.1 Charging the TerminalThe Vx680 charging base is required to charge the terminal battery and it also provides a docking station for the terminal. Keep the terminal on the charging base to prevent low battery and to avoid maintaining and charging spare batteries.
2.1.1 Powering Up the Charging BaseUse this procedure to connect the Vx680 charging base to a power source.
To power up the charging base:
1. Insert the round barrel connector of the power pack into the power port at the back of the charging station.
Figure 2.1 Vx 680 terminal and charging station
7
Figure 3 Ports at the back of the charging station
Note: The GPRS charging station may not have the same ports as those illustrated here.
2. Plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet or power surge protector.
3. Confirm that the charging station is powered up as indicated by the LED.
2.1.2 Connecting an IP TerminalThe IP terminal uses an ethernet connection to communicate with the FEXCO Host and to obtain rates from DHS for DCC transactions.
Note: The ethernet cable is not supplied with your terminal kit.
To connect the IP Mobile terminal:
1. Connect the IP cable to the ETH port on the back of the charging station.
2. Plug the other end of the IP cable into the Internet port on the wall or router (as applicable).
2.1.3 Connecting a PSTN TerminalThe PSTN terminal uses a telephone connection to communicate with the FEXCO Host and to obtain rates from DHS for DCC transactions.
Note: The telephone cable is not supplied with your terminal kit.
To connect the PSTN Mobile terminal:
1. Connect the telephone cable to the Phone port on the back of the charging station.
2. Plug the other end of the telephone cable into the telephone port on the wall (as applicable).

2.2 Configuring the Bluetooth TerminalThe Vx 680 Bluetooth (Vx680‐B) terminal uses the full‐feature charging station to go online for authorisation either via IP or PSTN.
The Vx680‐B terminal can only communicate through a charging station to which it has been paired. If you have more than one Bluetooth terminal on‐site, then each terminal must be paired with its own charging station. See “Section 2.2.2, Pairing the Charging Station with the Terminal” on page 10.
Figure 2.1 Bluetooth charging station LEDs
The charging station’s status is indicated by the following LEDs:
2.2.1 Bluetooth Charging Station RequirementsThe Bluetooth charging station requires the following:
• Power source within two meters
• Telephone socket within three meters (for PSTN version)
• Location with minimal obstruction for communication with its paired terminal
• For optimal performance, the charging station should be placed in a position that will service all of the card payment areas on the premises. The ideal placement is to position the charging station within a line of sight to all areas of card acceptance.
• The charging station must be installed two meters from the ground to allow the LEDs to be seen, and the state of the connection to be confirmed.
LED Indicates
POWER
The charging station is powered ON and ready for communication with its paired terminal.
BLUETOOTH

2.2.2 Pairing the Charging Station with the TerminalA Bluetooth terminal must be paired with a single Bluetooth charging station. If there is more than one Bluetooth terminal on the premises, then each terminal must be paired uniquely with its own charging station.
When a Bluetooth terminal is correctly paired with its own charging station, then all communications and transactions may be completed, i.e., rates, authorisation, and so on.
The following procedure assumes the terminal is charged and powered on.
To pair a Bluetooth terminal with a charging station:
1. Touch F1 SYSTEM.
2. Press 4 SETUP.
You are prompted to enter the System password.
3. Enter the System password and press Green.
4. Press 1 COMMS SETUP
5. Press 1 BLUETOOTH.

6. Press 2 SEARCH & PAIR.
You are prompted with the message: “Press Bluetooth button on Base now, searching ... ”
7. At the back of the charging station, press the Bluetooth Pairing button.
Figure 3 Bluetooth Pairing button
This makes the station discoverable for a period of 2 minutes. This is a security feature so that the charging station is only discoverable during this brief time interval.
8. When the terminal and charging station are paired, the message “One Base Found, Pair Succeeded is displayed. Press any key to continue.
9. An eight‐digit serial number is displayed.
10.Confirm this matches the number that appears on the bar code the back of the charging station.

Chapter 4
End of Day Reconciliation
The FEXCO Transaction Services Host—also referred to as the FEXCO Host—now replaces the Batch function used previously by FEXCO terminals.
Settlement of transactions from FEXCO terminals is managed by the FEXCO Host and based on a Host Session. All transactions received from a terminal during a Host Session are sent to the acquiring bank for settlement. See “Section 4.3, FEXCO Host Sessions per Acquirer,” on page 25.
Terminal totals are performed by the End of Day (EOD) process, which is managed by the merchant for the purpose of reconciling the day’s transactions. To ensure the EOD totals reconcile with the Host Session totals, merchants are advised to complete the EOD process within the Host Session time frame as determined by the merchant’s acquirer. See “Section 4.3, FEXCO Host Sessions per Acquirer,” on page 25.
4.1 Reviewing the End of Day Reconciliation ReportTo ensure that your statement totals balance, it is important that you carry out your End of Day Banking before the cut‐off time set by your acquirer.
To generate the End of Day report:
1. Press F2 CREDIT/DEBIT
2. Press 2 END OF DAY
3. When prompted, key in the End of Day (EOD) password, and press Green.
4. Wait until End of Day report is printed.
The End of Day report is illustrated in “Figure 4.1, End of Day Reconciliation Report,” on 24. The End of Day Reconciliation report is described as follows:
Description
Local Totals
The totals of transaction value and transaction count held on the terminal since the previous EOD reconciliation was completed.
Shows the sales and refunds, where DR is Sales and CR is Refunds:
• DR 0004 indicates 4 sale transactions
• CR 0003 indicates 3 refund transactions
Note: Debit and Credit are from the cardholder’s point of view.

22
Host Totals
The totals of transaction value and transaction count held on the FEXCO Host for the current Host Session time frame.
Checked and matched EOD totals confirm that the Local totals reconcile with the Host totals. When the Local totals and Host totals match, the merchant will be settled these values.
If the totals do not match, the merchant will be settled the Host totals.
Current Banking Totals
FEXCO Host total for the current business day or current session.
Previous Banking Totals FEXCO Host totals for the last session or previous business day.
Host Session Number
The Host Session number or FEXCO Host Session number is the number of the current processing time frame. (The time frame is set per acquirer.)
The reconciliation printout shows the transactions that have been sent to the acquiring bank for settlement and those that will be sent for settlement in the next processing window.
Session numbers run from 00 to 06
Terminal EOD Reconciliation number
This equivalent to the former Batch ID.
This is an identifier for the EOD process and increments every time an EOD process is completed on a terminal.
This number is terminal specific does not appear on any Mercury report.

Figure 4.1 End of Day Reconciliation Report
4.2 Handling Discrepancies between Local and Host TotalsTo prevent a discrepancy in the total value of the transactions captured by the FEXCO Host for a given business day, FEXCO recommends that merchants complete the End of Day process on the terminal just before the cut‐off time. For example, if your acquirer’s cut‐off time is 23h00, then you should complete the End of Day function a few minutes before 23h00, such as at 22h55.
Low‐value transactions such as contactless transactions which have a limit of £30 and €30 may sometimes bypass online authorisation. The reports illustrated in Figure 4.2 on page 25 show two stored transactions and then the resulting Transaction Details reports after the terminal goes online to authorise a £300 transaction.

4.4 End of Day Frequently Asked Questions
4.4.1 What does End of Day Process (EOD) mean?The End of Day process is a method of resetting the terminal totals with the transactions on the FEXCO Host. It is recommended that you complete the EOD process as close to the cut‐off time specified by your acquirer to ensure the totals match.
4.4.2 What does Host Session mean?The Host Session is the processing window of the FEXCO host.
There is one Host Session per day for which the session start and finish times are determined per acquirer as detailed in “Section 4.3, FEXCO Host Sessions per Acquirer,” above.
4.4.3 What is a Host Session number?The session goes from 0‐6 to represent each day of the week and re‐cycles each week.
The Host Session is printed on the terminal report only. See “Figure 4.1, End of Day Reconciliation Report,” on 24.
4.4.4 How does this relate to the batch number in Mercury?There is no direct correlation between the Host Session number and the Batch number in Mercury.
4.4.5 What happens if I forget to complete my EOD process?FEXCO will process all transactions that are stored on the FEXCO Host, regardless of whether the EOD process is run or not.
The terminal report (printout) will show the accumulated totals on the terminal and the current totals on the FEXCO Host.
4.4.6 Can the EOD process be set to occur automatically?Yes, FEXCO sets your terminal to execute the EOD function automatically at the cut‐off time established by your acquirer.

Appendix B
End of Day Scenarios
This section describes End of Day scenarios using a timeline, acquirer cut‐off times, terminal trading windows and merchant settlement for a given day.
B.1 Scenario 1The cut‐off time for ACME acquiring bank is 02:00.
The merchant’s terminal is set to trigger the End of Day (EOD) function automatically at 02:00.
The time of ACME’s banking session is from 02:01 Day 1 to 02:00 Day 2. Merchants are settled for all transactions that processed during this timeframe.
Figure B.1 Scenario 1 Timeline
The EOD totals printed on the terminal’s End Of Day report match the FEXCO Host totals.
The FEXCO Host session total represents the banking session total and is therefore the amount that will be settled to the Merchant’s bank account for the given day.
Totals
Terminal EOD Total 1650
FEXCO Host session (banking session) Total 1650
35
B.2 Scenario 2The cut‐off time for ACME acquiring bank is 02:00.
The time of ACME’s banking session is from 02:01 Day 1 to 02:00 Day 2. Merchants are settled for all transactions that processed during this timeframe.
The merchant’s terminal is set to trigger the End of Day (EOD) function automatically at midnight.
Figure B.2 Scenario 2 Timeline
The EOD totals printed on the terminal’s End Of Day report do not match the FEXCO Host totals—banking session totals. This is not a problem for the merchant because they want to reconcile the terminal totals with the till system’s totalsl
The FEXCO Host session total represents the banking session total and is therefore the amount that will be settled to the Merchant’s bank account for the given day.
Totals
Terminal EOD Total 1800
FEXCO Host session (banking session) Total 1650
Amount settled to the merchant on the previous day 150
