Support » Self-Park » Convert an HTK/CTK to netPark Pay

Conversion Process

netPark Pay is netPark’s new payment processing solution. As part of this rollout, netPark is working with our clients and their installers to get the HTK & CTK Self Park devices updated. This guide walks through the conversion kit as well as the process that an installer would need to run through in order to perform this conversion.

Network Requirements

Before beginning hardware swap, ensure that the network is properly configured as shown below, or the CC EMV terminal will not function. The EMV readers require additional ports to be configured before use. These ports are already documented in our System, Hardware and Network Requirements guide, but are listed here for brevity.
  • Outbound TCP 443 to “iptran1.dsipscs.com
  • Outbound TCP 443 to “iptran2.dsipscs.com
  • Outbound TCP 5080 to “trancloud.dsipscs.com
  • Outbound TCP 443 to “prod.ssl53.com
Note: The TranCloud devices cannot be set with a static IP directly. They can be locked to an IP address via DHCP and a MAC Address. PDF – netPark Pay – Fullsteam Client CHD flow r3

Datacap Status

The Datacap server manages the communication between the EMV reader and the backend server. On the back of the Datacap device is a QR code. When this code is scanned it directs to a website that shows the status of the device. This can be useful for troubleshooting issues with connectivity or functionality.    

Note on Voiding & Crediting

The netPark Pay Processing has a 1 day limitation for refunding payments taking via the Kiosk. Payments can only be refunded up until the batch is settled for the day. Once the batch has been settled you will need to get the credit card details from the customer again and process a refund via the Register Transactions screen.

Troubleshooting

TranCloud LED Indicators

The TranCloud unit has a helpful power indicator in the bottom left corner that illuminates to display various status codes.

TranCloud Indicator Light
Phone-Home-Succesful
Steady Indicator Light
Blinks Once per Second
Blinks Foure Times per Second
No Indicator Light

Remains On:

This means that your TranCloud unit successfully phoned home and is connected.

Blinks Once Per Second:

This means that the last attempt to phone home failed. If your unit is connected to the network and your unit still can’t phone home. Please verify that your internet connection is working.

If you have confirmed the internet connection is good, please contact netPark Support.

Blinks Four Times Per Second:

This means that there is not an application loaded to the device. Please unplug the device from power for 30 seconds and plug it back in.

If the issue persists, please contact netPark Support

Won't Light Up:

This means that your TranCloud unit is not connected to power.

If your unit is connected to power, you have confirmed the power supply is working and the LED indicator on your unit still won’t light up, contact netPark Support for more information.
