Parameters

  Name of the desired PIN Pad Management System.

Remarks

The application must call BeginEftTransaction to inform the PIN pad’s service object that an EFT Transaction is starting. The service object will perform initialization functions (for example, computing session keys). No other PIN pad functions can be performed until BeginEftTransaction is called.

BeginEftTransaction returns void if successful, and it can throw the following exceptions:
