Connection
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The way to connect the screen display to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` Box differs depending
|
|
on the model.
|
|
|
|
.. tabs::
|
|
|
|
.. tab:: IoT Box model 4
|
|
|
|
Connect up to two screens with Micro-HDMI cables on the side of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
|
|
Box. If two screens are connected, they can display distinct content (see usage below).
|
|
|
|
.. tab:: IoT Box model 3
|
|
|
|
Connect the screen with an HDMI cable on the side of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` Box.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
Screen(s) should be connected before the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` Box is switched on. If it
|
|
is already on, connect the screen(s), and then restart the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` Box by
|
|
unplugging it and plugging it back into its power source.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
The usage of HDMI/Micro-HDMI adapters may cause issues which will result in a blank, black screen on
|
|
the screen display. Cable usage is recommended.
|
|
|
|
If the connection was successful, the screen should display the :guilabel:`POS Client display`
|
|
screen.

|
|
Things)` Box homepage.
