"EFTPOS is down" is yesterday's problem. It is unacceptable. Let us eliminate the points of failure.

Using the public internet is the safest and lowest cost option, if everyone does their job:
 
• Tyro operates 2 secure data centres,
  located separately. Our systems are
  designed to continue normal operations
  if a single point of failure occurs.
• Tyro uses Telstra and Optus core IP
  networks for redundancy.
• Tyro provides GSM/GPRS connectivity
  through Telstra, Optus and Vodafone
  mobile networks.
• Transactions are processed using modern
  internet banking grade encryption.
• Your in store network configuration should
  be simple and secure.
• You should choose a broadband plan that
  provides the reliability your business needs.
• Call your IT department or ISP for help. If
  you need support in the field to check and
  fix the network and/or set-up routers and
  terminals, look at the Gizmo offer.

Your broadband connection for your POS, EFTPOS, Web is as resilient as you choose it to be.

Business grade (ADSL) plans offer higher reliability and better performance than residential (ADSL) plans.
3G plans offer great reliability because the mobile networks have been designed to operate non-stop.

To provide more resilience, some network routers provide dual internet connections (usually an ADSL with a back-up USB 3G connection or dial-up modem).

There are many vendors and products available. For a complete list consult "The Broadband Choice". If you need assistance, we are happy to advise you. Have a look at an eXetel offer for Tyro merchants.

For mobile point of sale and EFTPOS devices, we recommend a 3G router with Ethernet or WiFi . Tyro terminals support GPRS connectivity and can provide a backup network connection.

For very remote locations, broadband routers can connected over standard serial analog modem.

Processing credit card transactions offline

If your experience network interruption, call Tyro Support on 1300 966 639 to obtain voice authorisation for credit card transactions. This is essential to prevent fraud!

Tyro can provide manual transaction forms but these should only be used if Tyro Support is not available. Transactions processed manually are not secure and you are at risk!

Manual transaction forms must be processed by you when the network becomes operative. DO NOT send the forms to Tyro for processing.
