Datacap NETePay must be purchased from Windward Software in order to activate it.

Allow several days of setup to get the processor and PINpad's operating.

1. We recommend you install Datacap NETePay on a different computer than the previous Datacap NETePay, so that both netepay servers are available. Run a test transaction on the new NETePay server. Wait until you receive your deposit, then switch from the old NETePay server to the new datacap NETePay server.
2. If you have to install on the same computer, Close your batch from the previous processor first. Uninstall Datacap NETePay and all the datacap files. Re-install Datacap NETePay .

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.
• HOST 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 in order 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.

• The datacap NETePay program should be installed on a computer that is on all the time.
  
• If you are going to use dial-backup (available for some processors with the purchase of datacap dial backup modem) you will need a computer station that has an available serial port and has access to a phone line. Most of your Point of Sale stations will be using the serial port for the PINpad, so installing on these stations is not recommended.
• A dedicated Datacap NETePay server is recommended. Consider using a slower out of date computer as a dedicated server which no one will use or mess up.
• Re-installing Datacap NETePay on a different computer, once activated, cannot be done without re-licencing.
