A stable internet connection is required for the successful operation of our In-Person Payment services. If you are having problems connecting your device to the internet and maintaining the connection, please refer to the guidance below:

 

Tips to improve network connection

If using the device on a counter, use an ethernet cable connection (CAT-5), if possible.

If using the device away from the counter, always use a Wi-Fi connection, if possible. Only use mobile data as a last resort.

We recommend keeping the device on a separate Wi-Fi network to other devices that may interfere with your connection.

Ensure a minimum connection speed of 1 Mbps.
10 Mbps or higher is recommended.

Avoid obstacles between device and router such as walls, floors, windows, mirrors and pipes as these can weaken or block the Wi-Fi signal.

If using a mesh network, try connecting directly to the router with an ethernet cable if your device supports it.

 

Wi-Fi router configuration

If you are still having problems connecting to Wi-Fi, please ask your network administrator to check the router configuration:

  • Ensure traffic is permitted through ports 11183 and 11186.
  • Ensure your router is compatible with 802.11 b/g/n standards.
  • We recommend connecting using a 2.4GHz connection, if possible.
  If you need help configuring your router, please seek support from the router manufacturer.
