Verifone pinpad installation

I don't know how similar our installations will be, but first I began with the OPOS configuration tool for RMS, by default you can find a shortcut to this utility in Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Retail Management System -> Configure Microsoft OPOS Service Objects . Select PinPad, either create a new object or modify an old one. Make sure the correct COM port is set, and make sure you have plugged in your external power for the pin. I'm am not sure if all need external power, but my Pinpad 1000 and Pinpad 1000se do. Use the manager program to make sure the name of your opos objects matches what you wrote in on the MS OPOS utility. On startup the error should be gone. Try using the Test button in the OPOS utility if you have further problems.
