Description: Refer to the Elavon Hardware Guide below.

Elavon Lane 3000 w/ Combox

The Elavon Lane 3000 has a network connection independent from the POS and uses a ComBox to facilitate communication. An umbilical cable is used to connect the ComBox to the Lane 3000 and the ComBox functions as a passthrough for the terminal’s Ethernet connection. It is important that cables are connected appropriately, as the ComBox functions as a hub through which all connections are run.

Because the Lane has its own network connection, a static IP will need to be configured on both the Lane 3000 & POS if DHCP is not active on the network.

Identify the Device Serial Number

Pressing the zero '0' key on the main menu will display the 8-digit portion of the S/N, which allows Elavon to target that device for download.

Note: This is NOT the same as any S/N stamped on the device.

This 8-digit S/N must be provided to the Elavon support team to request them to stage an updated build and/or settings for that specific reader. In addition, that S/N must be already known to the HEM download system.

First Time Boot Sequence

The device must initially log onto the network so that it can self-register with the download system before updates can be staged for the device.
