Set up devices

Printers that may be one printer

A printer plugged into a POS by USB and also on the network shows here twice. Print a test on each: every slip names its route. If both slips come out of the same printer, say so and it becomes one printer — USB first, the network if USB can’t print.

Device profiles

A profile is how one kind of device is set up at every store: its job, its kitchen station, its printers and its screen. Give a device a profile when you add it and it comes up set up the moment it pairs. Change a profile and every device using it changes too.

Set up boxes by serial number

Type the serial number or network address printed on the box's label, and say what it will be. When that box is switched on and connects, it shows on its device below — tap Confirm and it sets itself up. Nobody types a code on the box.

Add a device

Everything on this one screen: the store, what it is, its name, its EFTPOS pinpad and printer, then its pairing code. A normal device needs only a name — the store's device profile fills in the rest.

Devices at this store

Waiting to be set up

Screens and boxes that switched on and are waiting for you. A screen opened at /device.html shows a six-character code. Three ways to set one up: give it a pairing code from the store's list; type the code it shows (someone in the store can read it to you); or press Set up waiting devices and do several at once. Each one switches over by itself — nothing to type on the device.

Office screens

Office TVs connect with the 6-digit code they show on screen — no pairing code from here.
