If you are processing credit with a DataCap modem, you may need to swap, reprogram or purchase a new modem. First, determine if you are using an IPTran, DialTran, or DataTran model modem.
If you are using an IP Tran:
* Updating your IP Tran software to support the MasterCard BIN expansion will also resolve the upgrade required to support industry changes to security protocols for IP-based (Internet) transactions.
If you are using a DialTran, please contact your Distributor to upgrade to Internet processing. Effective 2/20/17, DRB no longer offers dial processing. Swaps are available while supplies last.
If you are using a DataTran, the software is not able to be upgraded and the modem is not PCI compliant. Your modem is not available to be Reprogrammed or Swapped. To accept the MasterCard 2-series BIN numbers, you need to purchase a new modem through your Unitec authorized Distributor or Manufacturer.
