DSIClientX Control Installation

The DSIClientX control is not included in Maitre'D installation. This application is an XML ActiveX client controlled software that sends encrypted payment authorization requests via a local area network or Internet to Datacap's dial and Internet payment servers.

 

The control is available as a free 5mb self installing executable from http://www.datacapepay.com/  
It may be installed before or after Maitre'D and takes just a minute to install (requires a reboot).
