|
|
|
|

Set Up
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To connect hardware to the PoS, the first step is to connect an IoT Box
|
|
|
|
to your database. For this, follow this
|
2020-01-09 16:56:04 +07:00
|
|
|
:doc:`documentation <connect>`.
|
2018-09-20 21:37:02 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, you have to connect the peripheral devices to your IoT Box.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-21 21:28:35 +07:00
|
|
|
- **Printer**: Connect a supported receipt printer to a USB port or to
|
|
|
|
the network and power it on.
|
2018-09-20 21:37:02 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Cash drawer**: The cash drawer should be connected to the printer
|
|
|
|
with an RJ25 cable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Barcode scanner**: Connect your barcode scanner. In order for your
|
2020-10-21 21:28:35 +07:00
|
|
|
barcode scanner to be compatible it must end barcodes with an Enter
|
|
|
|
character (keycode 28). This is most likely the default configuration
|
|
|
|
of your barcode scanner.
|
2018-09-20 21:37:02 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Scale**: Connect your scale and power it on.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-21 21:28:35 +07:00
|
|
|
- **Customer Display**: Connect a monitor to the IoT Box using an HDMI
|
|
|
|
cable. You can also access the Customer Display from any other computer
|
|
|
|
by accessing the IoT Box homepage and clicking on the *POS Display*
|
|
|
|
button.
|
2018-09-20 21:37:02 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2020-10-21 21:28:35 +07:00
|
|
|
- **Payment terminal**: The connection process depends on the terminal,
|
|
|
|
please refer to the :doc:`payment terminals documentation
|
|
|
|
<../../point_of_sale/payment>`.
|
2018-09-20 21:37:02 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once it's done, you can connect the IoT Box to your PoS. For this, go in
|
2020-10-21 21:28:35 +07:00
|
|
|
:menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration --> PoS`, tick *IoT Box*
|
|
|
|
and select the devices you want to use in this Point of Sale. Save the
|
|
|
|
changes.
