High Speed Offline Operation
Besides Forced Authorization,where the merchant must call the processor to obtain an Auth Code, there are four ways to deal with the interruption of internet service:
- ISP Dial-Up Backup (Dial-Up IP)
- Hardware Backup through a router
- Transparent Offline or Rush Approval Mode
- Backup Connection
See below for details on all three.
ISP Dial-Up Backup (Dial-Up IP)
All DSL providers include free dial-up time and number for their customers. We recommend dialing up to the ISP and enjoying a 56k connection that is always on, rather than suffer the dial-up connect delays and slow modem response on every spaced transaction. You can use a third party auto-dialer or setup a Windows Dial-Up Networking connection.
Hardware Dial-Up Backup
For credit card software internet security and Dial-Up backup we recommend a hardware firewall router with Dial Back-Up. This is the fastest and most reliable way to setup connection backups. It is superior to software driven backups in many respects.
This is one of the possible setups with Netgear FVS338 ProSafe VPN Firewall 50 with 8-Port 10/100 Switch & Dial Backup (~$150) or similar firewall:
All DSL providers include free dial-up time and number for their customers.
This is much faster and more reliable than dialing up to the processors directly.
Transparent Offline Mode
This is not strictly a dial-up backup mode. It is a way to store the transactions for later authorization. The obvious downside is that they may be declined later. The advantage is speed.
Please see Rush Approval Mode for more info
Dial-Up Backup Connection
This is slower than Rush Approval Mode but guarantees authorization at the expense of speed.
Compatibility
Requires Version 3.03.15+
Operation
Enabling
To enable, uncomment (remove the leading ; before) UseDialupBackupMode=YES in the CreditLine Advanced Setup file and restart the CreditLine Server. If it is not present, you can insert your own line under [911_CCV] section. See http://www.911software.com/files/911_CCV.INI for the full option list.
Configuration
The following are the configuration settings that you can add to CreditLine Advanced Setup file under [911_CCV] section.
;............................... ; Dial-up Backup Settings ;.............................. ; ;Dial-Up Failover Support ;UseDialupBackupMode=YES ;Default is NO ; ;The number of connection errors that triggers the server ;to go into dialup backup mode ;AutoDialupBackupModeErrorCount=3 ;Default is 3 ; ;The number of minutes of idle time that triggers the server ;to retry the normal mode ;AutoDialupBackupModeExpiration=30 ;Default is 30 ; ;............................... ; End of Dial-up Backup Settings ;..............................
Connection Configuration
