Connect Aurus Terminal to POS

Set up Aurus as a supported payment reader within the Point of Sale (POS) app.

Point of Sale CMS Setup

Configure Aurus as a supported Payment Reader in Mobile Config > Modules > Peripherals > Supported Card Readers For Store Associate Checkout > Aurus.
You can also make Aurus the default payment reader in Mobile Config > Modules > Peripherals > DefaultCardReader > Aurus.
Set up the Payment Gateway Configuration for Aurus.
1. Create one for Aurus if it doesn't exist in CMS > Integrations > Payment Gateways.
2. Make sure to configure the URL Base, Secondary URL Base and Merchant Gateway ID.
Set up your Register to identify the Aurus terminal. Aurus doesn't support terminal discovery and the POS app knows ahead of time the terminal ID to pair to.
1. Enter the Serial Number of the terminal you have in Navigate to your Register > Card Reader > Serial Number . This is the SID+REG found on the back of the aurus terminal you have. It’ll be eight digits. If it's only seven characters long, prefix it with a 0.
2. You can select IP / BTLE as the Connection Type in the same Card Reader section.

POS App Flow with Aurus

Because the register knows which terminal to connect to, verify the terminal and iPad are on the same network. After you open the app and log in, the terminal connects automatically. The Aurus terminal has to be in a pairing state to make sure the pairing is complete.

Pairing State means the terminal is actively trying to connect with POS and is indicated by the "Reconnecting Attempts (n) Please Wait..." message on the terminal display. This indicates the number of attempts. The terminal tries nine times by default as soon as it is turned on and then goes into an idle state. An Aurus terminal showing the Under Armour logo when you turn it on.

Idle State requires the user to select the green button to reconnect.

The Card Reader displays the UA logo currently. Next are the different states it'll be in.

As soon as you boot up, the logo is red in color. This is just part of the boot-up sequence and it switches to black shortly.
The display has a black logo as long as it isn't connected to a POS app.
After you open the app and the pairing is complete, you’ll see the Card Reader switch to the red logo.
If the application is terminated or backgrounded, the logo switches to black (indicating it isn't paired with the POS app anymore).
If you open the application, and see that the logo is still black (even after the nine reconnect attempts as displayed on the screen), select the green button for it to immediately connect and switch to red logo (this only works if the POS app and card reader have previously been paired together).

Note

If the app was launched and you went ahead to checkout page and realize the terminal is showing the black logo, you can always select the green button and the terminal auto connects.
