All BGSU cash registers require a connection through the PCI Network. The BGSU PCI Network refers to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) isolated network used for all devices associated with credit card payments at BGSU. The PCI has created a data security standard that everyone who accepts credit card payments must comply with. As a part of that standard, devices that accept, transfer or process credit card payments must be isolated from everything else on a network. Thus, any BGSU affiliate wishing to set up a cash register in a location that has not previously been setup on this private network must request a temporary PCI jack.
