2. Click on the drop-down menu to select your preferred terminal.
   • Select Yes in the second drop-down menu to save this option
   • or No if you wish to select a different terminal.

2. The next transaction you process will now be present you with the option to select your preferred terminal as per the steps above in Configuring your preferred terminal.

Cloud Authentication enabled

With this password security setting enabled you will have your preferred terminal configured per computer.

The benefit of this option is seen when you have multiple reception computers, allowing you to set the computer to send transactions to the nearest terminal.

For example, if Terminal 1 is connected to PC 1, you can set a preference so that all payments initiated from PC 1 are directed to Terminal 1.

Cloud Authentication disabled

With cloud authentication disabled, your preferred terminal is configured per user.

Terminal preference is unique to each individual's login. For instance, Sandra can select Terminal A as her preferred terminal, while Josh can choose Terminal B as his preferred terminal, provided each person logs into EXACT with their own login credentials.
