The Verifone MX 915 is an EMV-enabled payment terminal for Cayan payment processing in Lightspeed Retail. The MX 915 is compatible with Lightspeed Retail for desktop and the Lightspeed Retail app for iOS.

In the box

• Verifone MX915 terminal
• Communications module
• 12V power adapter
• Ethernet cable

Physical setup

1. Insert the communications module into the top of the terminal, so the tab faces outwards. The tabs click into place when the module is fully inserted.
2. Connect the 12V power adapter into the port on the side of the communications module and connect the other end to a power source. 
3. Connect the ethernet cable into the ETH port of the communications module. Connect the other end of the ethernet cable directly into your router.

Adding the MX915 payment terminal to your network

Before the terminal can be added to your Lightspeed Retail account, it needs to be connected to your local network. Once the terminal is plugged into a power source, it will automatically begin a boot-up and update sequence. This process typically takes several minutes. Once completed, the terminal screen displays the Genius by Cayan idle screen. You can now connect the terminal to your network. 

1. From the terminal’s Genius by Cayan idle screen, enter 000 on the device’s keypad.
2. Enter the password 9416557.
3. On the terminal’s screen, tap Network > Test to initiate a communication test between the terminal and Cayan’s servers.
4. Once all tests pass, press the red X (cancel) button on the terminal to return to the Genius by Cayan idle screen.

Note: If the gateway communication tests do not pass, tap the on-screen Back > Restart buttons. Once the terminal reboots, you may attempt the test again. If the test still fails, contact Cayan customer support.
