Communications
Port Does Not
Work
The following are the corrective steps to be taken if a communications port does
not work.
1 Check whether the device connected to the port of the multiport cable of the
MX 800 Series terminal has power and is functioning correctly. If possible,
perform a self-test on the device.
2 The cable connecting the optional device to the MX 800 Series terminal’s
communications port may be defective. Try a different communications cable.
3 If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative or service
provider for assistance.
