Network Related Troubleshooting

  1. Swipe down from the top of the terminal screen. You will see the following screen.
  2. Confirm if you are on Wi-Fi or running the terminal on data
  3. If Wi-Fi is having authentication issues (wrong network, wrong password, public Wi-Fi) there will be an exclamation point next to the signal.
  4. If your terminal is connected to the Wi-Fi and still experiencing issues, disable the Wi-Fi by clicking on the signal. This should turn grey and 4G should be displayed on the top of the device.
    1. Note - When running your terminal on data, processing times will vary depending on the building material, environmental conditions (inclement weather weakening the signal)

    1. Check with the local administrator of the network to confirm credentials and no network issues on their end.
    2. Disable the data - swipe down and click the 4G signal to disable the Data, and force the terminal to use Wi-Fi as the primary network source.
