Setting Up the Hardware

1.  Install the SIM card.

2. Peel off the protective film (if applicable).

3.  Install the paper roll.

4.  Charge the terminal battery until the charge level reaches 100%:

Note: Charging the battery will take approximately 3 hours.

Dock the terminal to a powered base.
          OR
Connect the terminal directly to a power source using the direct-to-terminal charge cable.

Before setting up the hardware, consider the most effective location for a communications base.

You must perform these steps to set up the hardware:

1.  Set up the communications base.

a. To use Dynamic or Static IP, connect the Ethernet cable to the base.  To use dial as default (note that only one terminal can be registered to a base), connect the dial cable.

Note:  To use dial backup for Ethernet (one or multiple terminals registered to a base), connect the dial cable.

b. Connect the power cable to the communications base.  (If multiple terminals will be registered to one base, connect the power cable to the other terminals' bases.)

2. Peel off the protective film (if applicable).

3.  Install the paper roll.

4.  Charge the terminal battery.

5.  Register the terminal to the communications base.

3.  Register the terminal to the communications base as directed:

If one terminal will communicate with a base using dial, register the terminal.

If one or more dynamic IP terminals will communicate with the base, register the terminal.

If one static IP terminal will communicate with the base, register the terminal.

If multiple static IP terminals will communicate with the one base:

a.  Register one of the terminals.

b.  Enable STATIC for the terminal registered in the previous step, and configure its other static parameters (Public Internet - Static or Private Internet - Static).

c.  Enable the other terminals for STATIC following the same Configuring Static procedure used in the previous step, but do not enter any static parameters (i.e., do the steps up to and including 2c. of that procedure).  

d.  Register the other terminals to the base.  

Note: The other terminals will automatically pick up the new static parameters entered on the first terminal.

e.  Do a host connection check for each registered terminal:

i.  Press the  key twice.  

ii.  When the ENTER ADMIN CODE entry screen appears, key in 13 and press the  key.

iii.  Press the key.

iv.  When TCP HOST CONNECTION OK PRESS OK appears, press the  key.
