      Install RCM

      The OpenEdge Remote Client Manager (RCM) software handles the communication between the credit card reader and OpenEdge. RCM must be installed on every workstation that is attached to a card reader.


      How does the communication work?

      1. Evosus requests an OpenEdge payment form.
      2. The OpenEdge payment form wakes up the RCM.
      3. RCM communicates with the card reader terminal to capture the payment card information.
      4. RCM submits the transaction to the OpenEdge Gateway.
      5. OpenEdge Gateway returns a response to the RCM.
      6. RCM notifies the OpenEdge payment form that the transaction is completed.
      7. Evosus retrieves the transaction response from the OpenEdge Gateway.

        1. Attach the Ingenico iPP320 to the workstation.
