"Waiting For Connection To Cash Register" on Ingenico CBA EFTPOS machine

Step-by-step guide on what to do if this message is displayed on an Ingenico CBA EFTPOS machine.


  1. Check if the USB B cable (usually red head) is plugged in.
  2. Unplug and plug USB B cable back in.
If need be you can reset the EFTPOS machine. To do this hold down the function (blue) & clear (yellow) buttons simultaneously. Open file explorer > "this pc" > "c drive" > "program files (86)" > "PC_EFT" > "EftCIntUi". Double click.

Repeat from step 3 to start up again. If that doesn't work, the "com port' needs to be changed. To determine which com port is needed the "ConfigWiz" needs to be run. This is found in the same folder as "EftCIntUI".

Follow the prompts.
