Overview

This article describes how to configure a Heartland Restaurant network to use the PAX S300 device to process payments. The S300 terminal is a multilane transaction processing and mobile smart terminal. This service is only supported by Heartland Payment processing.

To function properly, the device must be loaded with a Special PAXStore template for Heartland Restaurant.

We recommend you make any adjustments to the device at the PAXStore level to ensure that, if the device’s firmware is ever updated or changed, those updates will include the site-specific settings. If you do not set them at the PAXStore level, your settings will be overwritten by any downloads.

Prerequisites

  • You must add an S300 SKU to an opportunity in Salesforce.
  • The merchant account must have a Heartland Processing MID in Salesforce to complete the order.
  • The merchant must be processing with Heartland Payments Systems.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the PAX S300 device, please email them to paxsupport@e-hps.com, or call 1.888.909.8498.

Minimum Requirements

  • PAX S300 device(s)
  • Configured BroadPOS account
  • 1x RJ-45 Ethernet cable per PAX device
  • Network router or switch with available port(s)
  • Heartland Restaurant version 5.75 or higher
  • Heartland Restaurant PAX-enabled license
  • Wired Internet connection

Configuring the PAX S300 PINpad Device

You can purchase the PAX S300 PINpad devices directly from Heartland. Heartland preprograms newly purchased PAX S300 devices for specific customers; so you must contact Heartland if you need any of these preprogrammed settings changed.

To function properly, the PAX S300 PINpad device requires an Ethernet connection to the site’s network. The device requires no drivers to communicate with its POS workstation. The device also requires access to the Internet to verify and post transactions. The device does not feature a printer; receipts and authorization slips will print on the POS printer.

Set a Static IP Address on a PAX S300 Device

After connecting a new PAX S300 PINpad device to a POS workstation, you should set the device with a unique static IP address. 

  1. In the PAX S300 device, press Menu (or Func and the “1” key at the same time).
