Latest News
 |
 | Ongoing changes in the credit card industry are requiring that
merchants themselves become more and more involved in securing the
cardholder data that they handle. In our continuing efforts to
make these ongoing transitions as painless as possible, Domain
Entertainment has released version v2.20 to assist with these changes.
Additionally, the following information is being provided to assist our
customers complying with current card industry PCI security requirements
- please implement these changes to your system as necessary, and keep
in mind that these are *minimum* requirements, so you may wish to expand
on them (note that these changes pertain to the Windows XP OS and may
vary slightly depending on your version of Windows):
 | In the Control Panel->Security Center, the Windows Firewall Should
be ENABLED or a suitable alternative firewall should be used. |
| In the Control Panel->User Accounts, any Guest Accounts should be
turned OFF and any Administrator accounts should be protected
with secure passwords. |
| File Sharing (or Simple File Sharing) should be DISABLED. |
| In the Windows Control Panel->Performance and
Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Local Security Settings->Local
Policy->Audit Policy, auditing for all items shown here should be
ENABLED and turned on. |
| In the Windows Control Panel->Performance and
Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Local Security Settings->Account
Policy->Password Policy:
| Enforce password history should be set to 4
passwords remembered |
| Maximum password age should be set to 90 days |
| Minimum password length should be set to 7 characters |
| Password must meet complexity requirements should be set
to Enabled |
| Store password using reversible encryption should
be set to Enabled
|
|
| In the Windows Control Panel->Performance and
Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Local Security Settings-> Account
Policy->Account Lockout Policy:
| Account lockout duration should be set to 30 minutes |
| Account lockout threshold should be set to 6 invalid
logins |
| Reset account lockout counter after should be set
to 30 minutes
|
|
|
| Additionally, should this product be used in a wireless lan (WLAN)
environment, you must verify that:
| Appropriate encryption methodologies are in use for any wireless
transmissions, such as: VPN SSL/TLS at 128 bit, WEP (Wired Equivalency
Protocol) at 128 bits, and/or WPA.
|
| If WEP is used and the key rotation process is manual, verify
processes are in place to rotate shared WEP keys at least quarterly
and whenever key personnel leave.
|
| If WEP is used, verify that another methodology is in use, in
addition to WEP, to protect the data.
|
| For automated key rotation processes, verify that keys change
every 10-30 minutes.
|
|
|
Failure to
implement these requirements in their entirety may put your system and
your data at risk.

| Adding support for two new processing solutions (FDMS Nashville
[Terminal Based] and Global Payments East) both supporting dial-up and
TCP/IP (via Datawire) transaction processing capabilities, along with
various program enhancements, version 2.11 of Domain Point of Sale has
been released ahead of schedule.
Most existing owners of Domain Point of Sale v2.10 (those which
purchased their software on or after September 1, 2004) will be eligible
for a free upgrade to this new version which can be downloaded by
clicking here.
Owners of prior versions of the software will be able to purchase a
software upgrade through the online store.
Please be aware that all software and software upgrade purchases are
FINAL and there will be no refunds. Also be aware that once a new
version has been released, older versions are no longer available for
download or purchase due to the ever changing requirements of the credit
card industry, so DO NOT try to install an upgrade which you are not
eligible for or have not purchased! |

|
| Domain Entertainment is proud to
announce that Version 2.10 of Domain Point of Sale is the first PC
based software to allow processing through the internet for FDMS Omaha
via Datawire. In addition, this new version also allows processing
via the internet for the Paymentech and Nova host systems. |
|
This means that if you currently use one of these systems for
processing, that you can upgrade to v2.10 of Domain Point of Sale and
process transactions through the internet using your DSL, Cable, ISDN,
or other internet connection*. Previously only available to those customers processing through Nova, it
is now be available to those processing on the Paymentech and First
Data Omaha systems. Future support for IPN processing is also planned for
the Global Payments East and ECHO systems.
This also means that if you are currently processing through a
virtual terminal and pay a monthly gateway fee that you can switch to
the Domain Point of Sale software and stop paying monthly gateway
fees!**
This release is the first release of Domain Point of Sale
shipped exclusively on CD and upgrades are available through the online store.
Like all upgrades of Domain Point of Sale the
upgrade price includes download access to any upgrades released within
approximately one year of activation.
*Note: For processing through your internet
connection, you must also contact your merchant services to have them
setup your username/password for Paymentech, or to setup your Datawire
ID for FDMS Omaha. No additional setup is currently required for
Nova. **Note: Domain Point of Sale
can take the place of a virtual terminal for keyed and swiped processing; if
you currently use a gateway for automated processing of your web based store
you will need to continue using it for that purpose. If you are not
currently using Domain Point of Sale
you may contact your merchant services to purchase a copy. |

| Effective immediately First Data is phasing out their 950 dial up
numbers and will shut them down completely by the end of December 2004.
You can get to the dialup numbers in the Domain Point of Sale
by going to Configuration->Modem in the program. Change any
950 numbers as follows (all other numbers should be left as they are):
Any phone number of 9501324 should be changed to 18663048515.
Any phone number of 9501809 should be changed to 18008747680.
Future versions of Domain Point of Sale will
have the new numbers installed by default.

| This new demonstration version allows potential
customers to perform a live system check to get their modems functional
and/or test for compatibility prior to purchase; it also displays the
most recent features of Domain Point of Sale. |
|
|
|
| Paymentech has announced their self-owned dial-up
network for transaction processing which will result in new phone
numbers for processing. Those customers processing through the
Paymentech network should change their primary phone number (phone
number 1) to 18775295686 and their secondary phone number (phone
number 2) to 18002269864. This change only applies to
versions of Domain Point of Sale released prior to January
2003; subsequent versions have the new phone
numbers stored as the default in the software. |
|
|
|
| As of the May 10, 2002 version of Domain Point of
Sale the software now supports processing over the internet, including
cable and dsl modems, through the NOVA host system. This release
supports processing on the FDMS Nashville (Envoy, EHC Host Based) system as
well as adds CVV2 and VOID functionality to several previously supported systems. |

| Domain Entertainment no
longer produces the privately labeled Merchant Master version of it's
Domain Point of Sale software product. The final batch of
Merchant Master labeled software shipped by Domain Entertainment
was sent out on July 26, 2001 and consisted of the April, 10 2001
(1.00B041001) release of the software, no future Merchant Master labeled
software will be made available. Current owners of the Domain
Entertainment Merchant Master labeled software may upgrade

product. Owners of Merchant Master can purchase an upgrade to the
current release of Domain Point of Sale by visiting the
online store (a
current valid serial number and merchant number is required for the

Note: Current owners of the Merchant Master software
should purchase an upgrade to the Domain Point of Sale
product in order to insure that they meet all current Visa, MasterCard,
and other processing rules as well as to insure that they are capable of
getting the best processing rates by being able to submit all necessary
data for each transaction. |
