How to setup Pax?

Pax device setup for taking credit card transaction in Rapid POS.

  • To set up your Pax device, first, open up Rapid RMS on your iPad.
  • On the main dashboard, click on the Settings icon at the bottom of the screen.
  • A left-hand menu will appear. Choose Hardware Settings > Pax Configuration.
  • This is where you will enter your Pax IP and Port numbers. Here is how to find your IP
  1. On your Pax device, select Menu
  2. Enter today’s date: mm/dd/yyyy
  3. Scroll down to Communication
  4. Enter your passcode
  5. Choose LAN Parameter > IP and write the IP down


    Now, on the iPad, enter the IP number in the IP field.
    NOTE: If your IP number has zeros in the last two number sections, you will need to remove them.

    For example:
    If your IP number looks something like this: 192.168.001.004
    Then, change it to this: 192.168.1.4
    If your IP number looks something like this: 192.168.001.194
    Then, change it to this: 192.168.1.194
    In the Port field, enter this number:
    10009
    Once you have entered the Port and IP numbers, click Save. You may now confirm the connection with a test CC sale.
  • Now, login to your Back-Office.
  • Go to Settings > Store > Payment Type and click on Gateway in the top tabs.
  • Select Pax in the Card Type dropdown.
  • In the Payment Mode dropdown, choose Live Mode and then click Update.
  • Finally, exit the application on your iPad (double-click home button and swipe up) and restart to begin accepting Pax transactions.
