RST cleanup to comply with the RST guidelines. This is required so we can use "make test", as there are currently hundreds of errors. For now, it is unusable because of the oldest code in this repo. closes odoo/documentation#3574 Signed-off-by: Castillo Jonathan (jcs) <jcs@odoo.com>

|
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.

The screen should also appear in the list of :guilabel:`Displays` on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
|
|
Things)` Box homepage.

If no screen is detected, a default display named :guilabel:`Distant Display` will be used
|
|
instead.
