Cloud EFTPOS Middleware (Wedge) Response Codes

The below codes are returned by the Cloud EFTPOS subsystem and can apply to both Standalone and Integrated modes.

Error Code	Error Text	Error Explanation	Troubleshooting Steps
E250	Unknown client, need to Connect first	Wedge has received a message from a client (POS or Cloud Explorer), but has never received a ConnectRequest for this client.	Initiate a ConnectRequest from the client. A restart of the client may be required to force it to send a ConnectRequest message. If using Cloud Explorer, select 'File - Logoff', 'File - Logon'.
E251	PosID mismatch	The 'Pos ID' field in the request from the POS does not match a Pos ID supplied during the commission process.	Check the Pos ID (in Cloud Web Portal) against the Pos ID of the POS. May need to retrieve the Wedge log if you can't determine what Pos ID value is being sent from the POS. Note that some systems do not authorise to the Cloud Web Portal.
E252	Not Authorised - 'reason' (11111-222222-333-4, 72147214)	Wedge has received a failure response to the AuthorisePaymentRequest (normally from Cloud Web Portal). The reason, Cloud ID and PINpad serial number is included in the text.	Check the Cloud ID and serial number is valid according to Cloud Web Portal.
E253	Unable to commission PINpad to terminal	The Wedge has failed to complete the commission process. Likely cause is due to a configuration mismatch (application list) or link (to PINpad or Cloud) issue. Note: In Wedge 2.6.2400, all commission errors were reported as E3210.	Check that the list of active applications in PINpad matches the configured applications in the Cloud Web Portal. Check Wedge config file, Cloud Web Portal, link PINpad - Wedge, link Wedge - Cloud Web Portal.
E254	NOT IMPLEMENTED	Wedge received an IPPI request message that is not supported.	Check the format of the request. Check the version of Wedge supports the request that wasn't processed, update Wedge if necessary.
E255	Transaction not found	Used during LastTenderStatusRequest. Indicates that the (Last Tender) supplied PosRef does not match the PosRef of any previous/known TenderRequest.	Check (in the logs) that the POS is using the same PosRef during transaction recovery as was used in the original TenderRequest.
E256	OUT OF SYNC	The POS/Wedge is in a Tender or trying to cancel a Tender while the PINpad is in an idle state.	Refer to the receipt or Cloud Eftpos Web Portal if available to determine the Tender result. Contact QPS Helpdesk, supply the Wedge log if investigation is required.
E257	Invalid Admin Request	The PINpad Admin Request is not valid.	The POS if faulty. Contact your POS Helpdesk.
E258	System error	System error during Tender Finalise.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E259	System error	System error during Sale Begin.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E260	System error	System error during Sale End.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E261	System error	System error during Product Totals.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E262	System error	System error during Status Request.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E263	System error	System error during Tender Request.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E264	System error	System error during a Multi-Application function.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E265	Unhandled error during Admin Request	An Admin Request failed with an unhandled error.	Contact support. Supply Wedge log file for further investigation.
E266	System Busy	Wedge upgrade in progress	Retry again. If problem persists, contact support.
E267	Unable to configure PINpad	Wedge cannot configure (lane swap) the PINpad with the values supplied by the POS in the ConnectRequest.	Check that the bank application list in the ConnectRequest matches the list of active applications in the PINpad. Check if any applications have a stuck host message which is preventing a successful lane swap.
E268	TID Not Configured	The POS has provided a CAID/CATID in the IPPI request (Tender, Logon, Settlement) that does not match a pre-configured CAID/CATID.	Compare the CAID/CATID in the request against the configured CAID/CATID values in Cloud Eftpos Web Portal (CEWP). Correct configuration in the POS or CEWP.
E269	MISSING REQUIRED TID	This is a single merchant POS, but the lane is configured for multi-merchant. The POS did not supply a CAID/CATID in the Tender Request, but this is required when the terminal is configured for multi-merchant (multiple TIDs)	Most likely cause is that CEWP has been configured with multiple TIDs (CAID/CATID pairs), but the POS is in single TID mode or doesn't support multiple TIDs. Remove additional TIDs in CEWP (check first before deleting) then either wait for the next terminalUpdate or do 'Check for updates' on the POS if this is available, or restart wedge.
E270	Failed to download file	This is when wedge fails to download a file from download URL to its local folder (applicable in case of MTP file copy/wedge download)	Action depends on the failure reason provided as an additional details in the error text
E271	Failed to download file due to reason 'Received a file for MTP copy but PINpad does not support MTP	Failed to download file due to reason 'Received a file for MTP copy but PINpad does not support MTP	Check file configuration for PT in CEWP.
E272	Failed to download file due to hash mismatch	Failed to download file due to hash mismatch (applicable in case of MTP file copy/wedge download)	Failed to download file due to hash mismatch (applicable in case of MTP file copy/wedge download)
E273	failed to download the file due hash calculation error	failed to download the file due hash calculation error (applicable in case of MTP file copy/wedge download)	Action depends on the failure reason provided as an additional details in the error text
E2003	SYSTEM BUSY	The EFT sub-system is currently busy processing another request.	Wait for the sub-system to return to the idle state and try the function again. If the problem persists, restart EPP
E2100	PINPAD COMMUNICATIONS TIMEOUT	There has been an error communicating with the PINpad.	Possible causes include no COM port available, incorrect COM port selected, invalid Baud Rate configured, PINpad unplugged, faulty cable, faulty PINpad.
E2101	PINPAD HARDWARE FAILURE	The PINpad has failed.	This error is no longer reported.
E2102	INVALID PINPAD TYPE	EftposPlus is incorrectly configured.	This error is no longer reported.
E2103	UNABLE TO OPEN PINPAD COM PORT	EftposPlus or Wedge cannot open the specified COM port to communicate with the PINpad. EFT will be unavailable until this is resolved. Possible causes include incorrect configuration or a hardware conflict.	Try restarting the machine. Check the port configuration of other devices connected to the machine for a conflict.
E2104	UNABLE TO CREATE PINPAD MESSAGE	There has been an internal error within the PINpad driver of EftposPlus.	Escalate the issue immediately.
E2107	PINPAD DEVICE ERROR	A PINpad error has occurred.	Wedge is unaware of the error code supplied by the PINPad. It is most likely that a new error code has been added to the PINpad. Contact support.
E2110	PLD TX NOT STARTED	Pinpad pld'd (rebooted) prior to the start trans going to bank application	Retry transaction. If problem persists, contact support.
E2112	CAN'T OPEN CARD READER COM PORT	The com port for the card reader cannot be opened.	Check Wedge configuration (qpswedge.pos.config) and ensure it is using the same comm port as displayed in device manager.
