EFTPOS Initialization and Connection
Taptouch EFTPOS
There are two commonly used models of Taptouch EFTPOS devices: S1F2 mobile EFTPOS and P400 + desktop EFTPOS. The following will introduce how to quickly install and use EFTPOS devices after obtaining hardware devices.
- S1F2 Mobile EFTPOS
S1F2 is a mobile card reader with a printer and battery, WiFi connection and 4G network backup. It is suitable for most restaurants, especially those that use desktop payment.
Hardware installation configuration:
Remove the machine from the packaging box, then slide the back cover of the machine down to open and place the battery in the battery slot.
After the battery is installed, insert the USB Type-C end of the power cord in the packaging box into the right side of the machine to charge and turn it on.
If the card reader is used for checkout at the counter, it is recommended to use the official charger and charging cable to keep the EFTPOS always in the charging state, and the charging state of the host will not enter the sleep mode.
Connect to local WiFi and fix IP Address:
The card reader and POS are connected through the local network. In order to be more secure and stable, it is recommended that you set the network address of Taptouch EFTPOS to a static IP.
Please consult Sales for a password for the Settings page.
After turning on EFTPOS, select the corresponding store, connect to Wi-Fi, and enter the main page.
On the home screen, tap Settings - > Network.
Enter the system settings password and click Continue.
Click Enter Wi-Fi password to connect to the internet.
If there are changes to the payment settings of Taptouch EFTPOS in the backend (tips, surcharge, receipt), please update synchronously on EFTPOS.
Open Taptouch EFTPOS and click Settings - > Configuration in the lower left corner of the screen.
After entering the password , click Continue.
Check the status of EFTPOS. If there is a version that needs to be updated, click Update.
- P400 + Desktop EFTPOS
P400 + is a desktop EFTPOS that has no battery, uses network cable connection, and does not come with a printer. It is suitable for scenarios such as self-service machines and checkout counters. As there is no 4G network backup, it is necessary to have a 4G line backup for the broadband network in the store. For example, Telstra and Optus both provide free 4G network backup solutions.
Hardware connection settings:
Open the package, remove the P400 + host, open the back cover, and connect the included 28PIN Dongle to the host.
The other end of Dongle is connected to the Ethernet cable and power supply. Dongle has two Ethernet ports, and the Ethernet cable is connected to the interface at the end of Dongle.
Fixed Local Network IP Address:
Fixing the IP address of EFTPOS helps to ensure the stability of the connection without being affected by router policies.
Tap the Settings gear icon on the home screen to go to the settings page.
Click on Network and enter the PIN Code (please contact Support or Sales to get it).
Click on Ethernet.
Go to the IP Settings interface, turn off DHCP, and keep the IP Address obtained in DHCP state.
Tips
If you change the network or router, the static IP address may not work. In this case, you need to reopen DHCP to obtain a new IP address, then turn off DHCP and fix the IP address.
After fixing the IP Address, synchronizing the latest settings on Taptouch EFTPOS will take effect.
Open Taptouch EFTPOS and tap the Settings icon in the lower left corner of the screen.
Click on Configuration.
Enter the system password for EFTPOS and click Continue.
Check the status of EFTPOS. If there is a version that needs to be updated, click Update.
