SETUP:  Upon receiving your account login information from Court Solutions enter those values into the Court Solutions page of the RMS configuration.

 

Once the FTP login data is entered into the Crimestar RMS Configuration, Crimestar RMS will be ready to transfer the arrestee bail information to the Court Solutions system.  Upon saving a booking record the user will be shown a dialog message regarding on-line bail payment via a credit card and asked if they wish to transfer the arrestee's bail information to the on-line payment system.  If the response is YES then Crimestar RMS immediately transfers the bail information to the Court Solutions online service so that bail may be posted via a credit card on-line.   The arrestee, a friend or family member can then visit the Court Solutions web site to pay their bail online using a credit card.  Court Solutions then transfers that payment electronically back to your agency's bank account via an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).  It is simple fast and totally free service to agencies running Crimestar RMS.  

 

Use of this interface requires that the workstation where the Booking record is being saved have FTP access to the internet.  FTP access is obtained via TCP/IP port 21.  Standard Internet Web "Browsing" (http) is typically done via TCP/IP port 80.  For those booking workstations where internet access has been restricted it is possible to allow port 21 (FTP)  to be used while still restricting port 80 (http: Web Browsing) and all other internet traffic.  Consult with your network administrator for the proper configuration of your network Router(s) and/or Firewall.
