GETTING STARTED
Upon successfully signup with TSYS (TransFirst), an enrollment letter with the information necessary will be sent from TSYS (TransFirst) to the office’s applicant. Once the information is obtained from TSYS (TransFirst), the VX805 terminal unit will need to be setup prior to processing credit card transactions.
NOTE: Denticon does not provide the TSYS (TransFirst) information.
SETTING STATIC IP
The first step on the device is setting the IP address and making sure the device has its IP settings set to “static.” This will require some setup on the terminal itself.
Steps to follow after receiving the terminal and plugging in the power supply:
- At the welcome screen, select * (asterisk / star)
- Enter password 1AlphaAlpha66831 (The small round “Alpha” button is located at the top of the unit)
- At the next menu, press 1
- Select the diamond symbol in order to for the IPAd address to display on the screen
- For future reference, manually record (write) the IPAd Address displayed on the screen. After a couple of minutes, the screen will return to the menu.
- Once the IP address is known, hit the red x button to return to the VCS Ethernet screen
- Select the calculator image
- Select IP from the Ethernet configuration screen
- At the IP configuration screen, select “Edit”
- At the IP Settings Static, select “Static”
- At the IP Configuration Screen, Select “Next”
- Select Edit, Enter IP address collected in the step above
- Select the Green Button to confirm entry
- At the IP configuration screen, select “Exit”
- Select “Yes” to Save Changes
- A message will be presented indicating “connection repair successful press any key” which indicates the changes were completed successfully
- Allow the terminal to sit idle, allowing it to return to the main menu
NOTE: The TSYS (TransFirst) Support Team will assist with setting the IP address on the terminal. Please contact them at (800) 654-9256

The dental office should edit to ensure the accuracy of the recorded information. If the Responsible Party address and zip code information is incorrect, the office’s credit card processing charges will incur a higher cost.
GENERATING MONTHLY PAYMENTS
After a contract has been created, and a Customer and Wallet ID have been stored, the office is ready to generate sales.
To review periodic contract payments due:
- Utilities / Generate Contract Charges / Generate Ortho Payment Plan Charges
- Utilities / Generate Contract Charges / Generate Regular Payment Plan Charges
- Utilities / Generate Contract Charges / Generate Charges By Practice
On the “Post Insurance/Patient Ortho Charges” and “Post Regular Payment Plan” screens, a list of all the customers currently under contract are seen, along with customer and wallet IDs*.
To post a payment for a customer, check the box next to the customer(s)**, and click the “Post Periodic Charges” button.
If the sale transaction was successful, the name will be removed from the list, and a transaction number can be found in the customer ledger when the payment’s date is clicked.
If the sale was unsuccessful, a red “X” will appear next to the name. To understand the reason for non-processing of the payment, place the mouse cursor over the red “X” to reveal a hovertip for more information.
* Wallet ID is the association that the payment contract is associated with a credit card payment, as designated in the “Recurring?” column as “Yes.”
** It is recommended that all charges due are selected for posting to the Ledger, easily accomplished by clicking the box in the dark header bar.
