Installation

Install the Creditline server and use the Creditline option on the ABC Client installer. To configure the user interface, use the ABC version of CLCUI.ini. Save it to \911\BIN\ after installing Creditline server.

Test system

You can set up and configure a complete working system without purchasing a Creditline license. Use Creditline Manager to enter settings in the Configuration menu. Do the Business Configuration first, followed by Connection Configuration. Then use the Authorization Configuration to set which cards are accepted, but skip the Merchant Setup in this menu. Next, do the Settlement Configuration and check the box Apply to Auth(s). If any cards have a different processor, change them last.

See Creditline Processor Setup for processor-specific configuration details.

Licensing

To enable batch settlement you will need to have a licensed copy of CCV_INFO.DAT. The license is tied to the merchant account info. If you change the merchant account you will need to purchase a "switch" license for half-price. You can also reset a password.

Configuration

Share the \911 folder on the server with read/write access for the workstations. Configure the CardProcessing record in the zero screen. Import cardprocess.742file if you need the file structure. Set the server name as needed, referencing the shared location of the 911 folder.

On the client, configure Settings > Advanced Setup Options > Credit Card Processing on each client. Be sure to select a company.

Crashing problem in CLCUI.EXE, the card processing module on the client, may be related to a firewall. Enable CLCUI.EXE in the firewall on the workstation.

March 1, 2018 update, enabling TLS 1.2

  1. On Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 enable TLS 1.2. Here is an easy fix from Microsoft to auto enable newer versions of TLS in Windows 7.
  2. Upgrade to the latest version of CreditLine server (minimum version to support TLS 1.2 is 2017-04-28 4.1.3 Build 1186.24 SP3.
  3. Edit the \911\Data\911_CCV.ini uncommenting MaskAccountNumberStyle and set it to 3. This is necessary because CreditLine Version 2017-08-31 4.1.3 Build 1186.27 SP3 and later default to masking all but the last 4 numbers making it impossible for ABC to detect card type.
