This commit aims to improve the documentation's navigability by redefining some categories' purposes and titles. There is a redirection rule for each documentation page moved. This ensures that users won't have a 404 error message. task-3217827 closes odoo/documentation#8056 Signed-off-by: Jonathan Castillo (jcs) <jcs@odoo.com>

Use an IoT box with a PoS
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Before starting, make sure the following equipment is available:
|
|
|
|
- An :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, with its power adapter.
|
|
- A computer or tablet with an up-to-date web browser.
|
|
- Odoo Online or an Odoo instance with the *Point of Sale* and *IoT* applications installed.
|
|
- A local network set up with :abbr:`DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)` (this is the
|
|
default setting).
|
|
- An RJ45 Ethernet Cable (optional, but preferred over WiFi, which is already built in).
|
|
- Any of the supported hardware (receipt printer, barcode scanner, cash drawer, payment terminal,
|
|
scale, customer display, etc.). The list of supported hardware can be found on the `POS Hardware
|
|
page <https://www.odoo.com/page/point-of-sale-hardware>`_.

Setup

A suggested configuration for a point of sale system.
|
|
|
|
To connect hardware to the :abbr:`PoS (Point of Sale)`, the first step is to connect an :abbr:`IoT
|
|
(Internet of Things)` box to the database. To do this, follow these instructions: :doc:`Connect an
|
|
Internet of Things (IoT) box to the Odoo database <connect>`.
|
|
|
|
Then, connect the peripheral devices to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.

|
* - Device Name
|
|
- Instructions
|
|
* - Printer
|
|
- Connect a supported receipt printer to a :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` port or
|
|
to the network, and power it on. Refer to
|
|
:doc:`/applications/sales/point_of_sale/restaurant/kitchen_printing`.
|
|
* - Cash drawer
|
|
- The cash drawer should be connected to the printer with an RJ25 cable.
|
|
* - Barcode scanner
|
|
- In order for the barcode scanner to be compatible it must end barcodes with an `ENTER`
|
|
character (keycode 28). This is most likely the default configuration of the barcode scanner.
|
|
* - Scale
|
|
- Connect the scale and power it on. Refer to
|
|
:doc:`../devices/scale`.
|
|
* - Customer display
|
|
- Connect a screen to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box to display the :abbr:`PoS (Point
|
|
of Sale)` order. Refer to :doc:`../devices/screen`.
|
|
* - Payment terminal
|
|
- The connection process depends on the terminal. Refer to the :doc:`payment terminals
|
|
documentation </applications/sales/point_of_sale/payment_methods>`.
|
|
|
|
Once this is completed, connect the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box to the :menuselection:`PoS`
|
|
application. To do this, go to :menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration --> PoS`, tick the
|
|
:guilabel:`IoT Box` option, and select the devices to be used in this :abbr:`PoS (Point of Sale)`.
|
|
:guilabel:`Save` the the changes.

Once set up is done, a new :abbr:`PoS (Point of Sale)` session can be launched.
