The SIM module has 5 setup options that need to be completed before its activation:

MD5 Hash |
The MD5 Hash Value is a unique string that a merchant sets up in the Authorize.Net Merchant Interface. The MD5 Hash Value can be found in the 'Security' section under 'Settings' menu in Authorize.Net Merchant Interface. |
Time Zone Offset |
By the rules of Authorize.Net each order has a specific validity period. A merchant is required to define in hours the difference between his server's time zone and the time zone of Authorize.Net servers so that the validity period can be calculated correctly. Remember that Time Zone Offset can have one of the following values, in hours: -12, -11, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
Mode |
Demo mode is only used in the initial setup phase to make online purchases without processing real card data. Remember that for secure real-time transactions at a live store the demo mode MUST BE TURNED OFF. |
