      Setup Back Office Connection for Verifone & Gilbarco Sites

      Windows Computer With a Free Ethernet Port

      LottoShield requires a Windows computer to work. You can use a desktop or a laptop, so long as there is a free ethernet port available on the device.

       

      What is an ethernet port? An ethernet port allows you directly connect to networks with an ethernet cable. See the picture below to understand what an ethernet port looks like.

       

      Your Windows computer doesn’t have an ethernet port? Don’t worry! If you have a USB or USB-C port free on your computer, then you can buy an ethernet adapter.

       

       

      Simply search online for a USB Ethernet Adapter or USB-C Ethernet Adapter and plug that into your Windows computer. The adapter will look something like the image below.

       

      Ethernet Cable

      Make sure you have an ethernet Cat-5 cable long enough to go from your computer to your managed network provider box.

       

       

      What is a managed network provider box? This is a box with ethernet ports that connects your network and POS. Examples of brands you might have are:

      • Acumera

      • Cybera

      • Hughes

      • Fortinet

      • Paysafe UTM

      • Mako

      If you have a different network provider contact us using chat on your LottoShield account for help with setup.

       

      Power Source by Scratcher Display

      LottoShield scanners need to be plugged into an outlet at all times. Make sure you have a power source within one or two feet of your lottery display so that you can easily scan ticket barcodes.

       

      If you don’t have any nearby outlets, consider using power strips or other safe extensions from the outlets you do have.

       

      Integrated POS

      LottoShield currently integrates with the following POS:

      • Gilbarco Passport

      • Verifone Commander

        • Topaz

        • Ruby 2

        • Ruby Ci

      • NCR Radiant

      • FasTrax

      Network Setup

      Once you have the needed tools, it's time to setup your network provider.

      First, connect your Cat 5 ethernet cable to your Windows computer. Run the cable safely to your managed network provider box.

      We support six different providers and each has its own requirements for plugging in your Cat 5 cable. Click the provider you recognize from your box directions. If you don’t see your provider in the options below, reach out to our support teams and we’ll help you figure it out!

      Note: If you already have an ethernet cable running from your managed network provider box to your Windows computer, you can skip this step! Move on to configuring your registers!
