On your mobile device, download XCharge Mobile from the Google Play Store. Either:
The app is called XCharge Mobile from OpenEdge
Download the free app to the device
First, be sure to Uninstall any versions of the Ranger mobile app (CommLInk) currently on the device (this is essential to avoid database corruption).
Then with the browser on the device, go to http://www.rangersst.com/mobile/android/
If you haven't already, bookmark this page for future use.
Click on “Other downloads and special test builds” at the bottom of the page
Click on V3.00 (or higher) and the download will begin
When the download is complete, install the app (Tow2.apk), open the app, and log-in (you will need valid driver and truck numbers)
After successful login, go to the Main Menu in CommLink and choose “Settings”
Select “Card Processor” and confirm the default configuration – X-Charge Mobile and X-Web – which is the appropriate choice
Return to Settings and select “Card Entry” and choose “Keyed” for manual entry of credit card numbers
The device should now be ready - Consider creating a test job in Ranger, assigning it to the device (driver/truck). At ARRIVED, run a credit card authorization with your own credit card for a nominal amount. The authorization process will create a “token” that relates the CC number to the transaction in Ranger. (To be PCI compliant, credit card numbers are only stored in the X-Charge vault; NO CC numbers are stored in Ranger; further, NO credit card numbers should be entered into Ranger note fields. This is an invitation to hackers - jeopardizing the operation of the system.) If successful, Cancel the job; the authorization will expire If not successful, call for troubleshooting assistance
You will also want to be sure you have your username and password for the X-Charge Web Portal in a secure, convenient location. The Credit Card transaction report in Ranger will provide a log of processing activity, including a record of the truck/driver processing a credit card The X-Charge portal provides information on the processing status of each transaction. If you have not received credentials for the portal, please contact Accelerated (OpenEdge) directly
