Why is There No Prompt to Enter the Pairing Code? |

Why Does the MP200 Say "Unknown Pairing Code?" |
If you encounter the following error, verify the terminal is in production mode using the instructions below.
- Press the Cancel key on 'Unknown Pairing Code' screen
- Press and hold the Down/WiFi key to access the Main Menu
- Press 1 for Settings
- Press 4 for Mode Select
- Press 1 to enable Production Mode (the mode for running live transactions)
Why Does the Payment Screen say "Terminal is Offline?" |
There are a few potential causes for this error message:
- Switching to a browser that has already been paired to the MP200 previously with a different pairing code.
- Unpairing the terminal on the device itself (Main Menu>Settings>Down arrow>Unpair Device) without unpairing in the payment plug-in.
- The terminal shows “connecting to servers” when the Chip button is clicked
- The terminal is showing the "Enter pairing code" screen when chip is clicked (when the payment plug-in is already paired from previous session).
To fix the issue:
Allow the MP200 to finish connecting to the servers. Once connected, the 'Welcome' screen will be displayed.
Unpair the terminal in the payment plug-in:
- In the payment plug-in: Click the unpair button pictured here:
If the MP200 does not show the "Enter Pairing Code" screen after completing the step above, unpair the MP200 manually:
- Press and hold the Down key until it beeps
- On the Main Menu, press 1 for Settings
- Press the Down key once
- Press 1 to Unpair Device
- Press Enter to Unpair
- Press the Cancel key to exit the menus back to the Welcome screen
- The “Enter Pairing Code” screen will again be shown

The MP200 Seems to be Stuck on the "Connecting to Servers" screen. What Does This Mean and How Do I Fix It? |
In order to run transactions, the MP200 will need to connect to the servers. This connection should take between 3-20 seconds and happens whenever the MP200:
- is booted up (after being connected to the WiFi network)
- is awakened from sleep mode
- automatically runs configuration updates (may show "connecting to servers" screen multiple times during the update)
- is connected to a different network
If the "Connecting to servers" message persists for more than a couple minutes, restart the MP200 by holding down the power key to turn it off and to turn it back on.
