Move a Terminal from Production to Preproduction

This guide describes how to switch a Pay On Site terminal from the production environment to the preproduction (test) environment. Which steps you follow depends on what is installed on the terminal: only the NTMS Agent, or both the NTMS Agent and the Pay On Site application. Use the section that matches your setup.

What you need

Opening the NTMS Agent advanced settings requires the technician password.

ItemValue
Advanced settings password4315
Preproduction NTMS server URLhttps://tntms.novelpay.pl/
Preproduction NTMS pathntmss/nexo/mgtp

Case 1 — Only the NTMS Agent is installed

Point the NTMS Agent at the preproduction environment, then re-activate the terminal.

  1. Open the NTMS Agent on the terminal.
  2. Go to Advanced settings and enter the default password 4315.
  3. Change the NTMS address to the preproduction values shown below.
  4. Trigger the activation.

Preproduction NTMS address:

FieldValue
Server URLhttps://tntms.novelpay.pl/
Pathntmss/nexo/mgtp

Once activation completes, the terminal is registered against the preproduction NTMS.

Case 2 — Both the NTMS Agent and Pay On Site are installed

When Pay On Site is already installed, you must remove it before re-installing it from preproduction. Follow the same NTMS address change as in Case 1, then handle the Pay On Site application during the first activation.

  1. Change the NTMS address to preproduction and start the first activation, as in Case 1.
  2. During the first activation, delete the Pay On Site application.
  3. Once Pay On Site has been removed, re-install it from preproduction.

Warning

Deleting the Pay On Site application currently requires a manual activation on NTMS. This step is not automatic today, so the terminal will not complete re-installation until the manual activation has been carried out on the NTMS side.

Next steps

After the terminal is activated against preproduction, run a test transaction to confirm it is connected to the correct environment. If activation fails or Pay On Site does not re-install, check the NTMS address values above and confirm the manual NTMS activation has been performed.
