Global Outage
Upgrade Your Terminal to Prevent Payment Processing Issues
We have been notified by Global Payments, who handles certain aspects of your payment processing, that they are moving to a new Certificate Authority (CA). The CA plays a critical role in payment processing and secures debit and credit card transactions.
Global will complete this process in phases, starting with a temporary removal of the CA before it is permanently removed in mid-September.
The process will likely cause you to experience processing issues or outages on:
September 16-17, 2020: 8 a.m. – 8 a.m. EDT
To minimize any disruption to your business, we recommend that you either upgrade your terminal to a PAX A80 smart terminal or change your terminal’s connectivity type.
We know that this is an extremely tight schedule and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that we are doing our best to work within Global’s timeframes.

If you need an interim solution before your new device arrives or you do not plan to upgrade at this time, there is a work around that should allow you to continue processing transactions during the outage periods. If you have access to an analog phone line, you can change your terminal’s connectivity type to dial up by following these steps.
- Press the “#” key
- Select “Setup”
- Choose “Communications”
- Select “CommsPriority”
- Key in one of the following: 210 = IP w/Dial Backup; 200 = IP Only; 120 = Dial w/IP Backup & 100 = Dial Only
