CCT (Credit Card Terminal) Not Ready Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing the "CCT Not Ready" error on your PAR Pay device, please follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

Reseat the LAN Cable

Ensure that the LAN or Y-Adapter cable is properly connected to the CCT.

Ensure that the other end of the cable is securely attached either to a network/LAN port, the COM box, or the firewall/switch.

Power Cycle CCT

Unplug the power cable from the CCT.

After 60 seconds, plug the power into the CCT and allow it to fully boot up.

Restart the Register

Hold down the power button on the register until it shuts Windows down and powers off.

Switch the register back on to allow it to boot back into Windows and start the POS software.

Verify Network Profile is set to Private

  1. Click on the Windows symbol and type Settings
  2. Select Network & Internet
  3. Choose Ethernet from the list on the left
  4. Click on the Ethernet Connection listed at the top
  5. Choose Private if not already selected
  6. Changes should automatically save. If prompted, confirm changes and exit.

Confirm Whitelist Settings

Verify with your third-party firewall company that the appropriate settings are configured in their whitelist.

PARPOS communicates to the CCT over Port 8030.
