The Tyro Terminal Adapter (TTA) is integration software used by Windows-based POS/PMS

systems to integrate with Tyro terminals. The POS/PMS systems use the TTA to easily and

securely communicate with the Tyro terminal.


Tyro continually improves the TTA functionality. The TTA automatically checks for updates

every day at 1am local time by default. During the initial TTA installation, you can change

this default setting to ensure that your PC will be powered on when the update takes place.

If you encounter any difficulties with the installation of the TTA, please contact Tyro Customer Support on 1300 966 639.

  1. Install the TTA

    The Microsoft .Net Framework version 2.0 must be installed on your PC. If it is not already installed on your PC, you can download it from here

    The installation must be performed by the PC administrator.

  2. Download the TTA set-up program

  3. Pair the TTA to the Tyro Eftpos terminal

    Once you have installed the TTA, it needs to be paired with the Tyro terminal. The pairingprocess provides the POS/PMS with the authority to process transactions through theterminal. Follow these steps to pair the TTA with the terminal:1.

    On the terminal, navigate to the ‘Authorise POS/PMS’ screen:

    Tyro EFTPOS receipts). The options are:

    • Print EFTPOS receipts on the Tyro Terminal (this is the default option)

    • Print EFTPOS receipts locally*

    • If you have multiple Windows users on the same PC, you can select the ‘Apply to all users

    on this computer’ check box and all users will share the same pairing configuration

    *Choose this option if your POS/PMS supports integrated EFTPOS receipt printing. If you don’t know whether your POS/PMS

    supports integrated EFTPOS receipt printing, please contact your POS/PMS provider or Tyro Customer Support on 1300 966 639.
