Configure Ategest with ImaCash
ImaCash opens a TCP receiver that Ategest connects to. Your provider must prepare the sending of operations to that receiver and confirm the mode available in your installation.
Step-by-step configuration
- Ask your provider to prepare the Ategest connection and supply the private network settings. Confirm which computer will run ImaCash and which local address and listening port are available.
- Open Configuration > Integration and select the POS category and Ategest. This profile displays the Server IP and Port fields.
- In Server IP, enter the private IPv4 address assigned to the computer running ImaCash. This is its local listening address. Your provider must configure Ategest to connect to that destination.
- In Port, enter the TCP listening port agreed with your provider. Ategest must use the same port as its destination. There is no universal value: confirm its availability and restrict access to the authorised network.
- Save the configuration using the Windows account that will run ImaCash and follow any prompt to reopen it. A validation result alone does not establish complete communication with Ategest or a cash operation.
- With your provider, check the receipt of operations, terminal and salesperson identifiers, and the expected completion or cancellation. Confirm the result in both programs before regular use.
Scope and checks
The connection relies on operations sent by Ategest over TCP. It does not import products or shifts, or reread historical sales. The resynchronisation button does not by itself recover operations that were not received.
Terminal and salesperson identifiers come from Ategest messages; this profile does not load a list to select them when saving. Check the capture and display filters configured in ImaCash: a hidden operation does not establish that it was not received.
Confirm the payment methods and workflows supported by that edition with your provider. This profile does not configure card payments or establish a universal breakdown of mixed payments. Connection and documentation do not replace validation of the installation and cash machine.
The availability of a cancellation request does not guarantee stopping or refunding an open payment. Confirm the final result with your provider in both programs and on the cash machine; an acknowledgement alone does not establish completion.
The retained screenshot shows an earlier screen with empty connection fields. Although it displays the former Pharmacy category, the current selector for this connector is POS > Ategest.
