Description: Learn how to update the Shift4 Bridge interface for RES 3700 in the article below.
Important: Before proceeding with a uninstall/reinstall of the Shift4 Bridge, you must make a record of all the currently configured settings for each tab of the Shift4 Bridge. This includes making a copy of the Shift4 Access Tokens attached to each revenue center. Failure to do this ahead of the application's removal will require a new Shift4 Authorization Token to be issued for this update.
Backing up the Shift4 Interface Values:
You need to record the configuration settings that will be used by the updated Shift4Interface. This is done through the Shift4Config program, which is located in the ...\Shift4Interface\Shift4Config.exe.

- Go to the …\Shift4Interface folder and run the Shift4Config.exe program.
- Navigate the setup tabs and reconfigure the settings you recorded earlier.
- Go to File > Save once all settings are in place.
- Navigate to …\Shift4Interface folder and rename the Shift4.isl to PMSXXX.isl.
- XXX is the interface number assigned to Shift4 Interface in Micros. Ex: PMS2.isl
- Copy the renamed Shift4.isl and Shift4Include.isl to the folders listed below. If at any time you are asked to overwrite or replace a file of the same name during this process, select YES.
