-==== HOST or TERMINAL ==== +  
- +
-When installing NETePay you must select to install the HOST or TERMINAL version.  HOST or TERMINAL version will be determined by your processor.\\ +
-  * **HOST** version means that all batched transactions are stored on the processor.  The batch is normally automatically settled for you each night. This is the simplest, safest method and is strongly recommended.\\ +
-:!:Ensure that your processor has **AUTO CLOSE** turned ON!  There is no method to close the batch using NETePay HOST.\\ +
-  * **TERMINAL** version means that all batched transactions are stored on YOUR computer until you settle the batch MANUALLY.  You must run the NETePay administrator program inorder to settle the batch.\\ +
-Windward Software recommends that when you sign up for a merchant account that you select HOST, however some functionality is not available on the HOST version of some processors, such as the ability to perform Pre-Auths.  Please contact Craig at Windward Software if you need information on choosing the best processor for your needs.  +

-===== Additional Troubleshooting and Re-installation Information  ===== 
-<code> 
-* Information on NETePay setup needs to be saved during install, and needs to be saved  
-somewhere standard 
-  - We need to the number of lanes. 
-  - We need to know whether it is host or terminal 
-  - We need to know which processor we are dealing with 
-  - We need the complete set of information originally used for the setup. 
-* NETePay can use resources on the server, it should often be installed on a different  
-machine that is always on and not be on the server. 
-* NETePay has to be re-licenced when it is re-installed.  
-  - Netepay 4 can not be relicensed. Upgrade to Netepay 5 is required. 
-  - As part of a non-booked or Urgent/Tech on site call it would not make sense to perform  
-this task. We should give ourselves some time and if the install really has to happen we  
-should book it.
