Moneris Gateway Restart
After a power outage or server restart, SqGateway must be restarted for credit cards to work.
If there's a power outage — or the Squirrel server is restarted for any reason — the SqGateway service must be restarted so the Moneris payment terminals can talk to the Squirrel server again. Until it's running, credit card processing through Moneris is down.
📄  The procedure
Follow the attached document below this article: Monaris Gateway Restart Procedure.docx.
💡 This is step 5 of the full server-reboot sequence — see Things to Keep in Mind When Rebooting the Squirrel Server (KB-170002). At the Eldorado this gateway is also referred to as the Eigen Gateway.
✅  Verify
Run a test credit card transaction on a Moneris terminal after restarting the service. If it still fails, contact Squirrel Support (supervisors/managers) and submit an IT ticket.
