Configure the PAX device as a Customer Facing Display

If you have the LinkPOS app installed touch the Customer Display button on the main page of the app.

Customer Display quick configuration button

After you have done this the next time the app is started it will automatically go to the customer facing display page. You can hit the back button to get back to the main page. If you accidentally hit the back button while on the customer facing display page simply touch the Customer Facing Display button to return.

If you have the LinkPOS Payment Terminal app installed it can only be used as a customer facing display and will always start up directly on the customer facing display page.

Pair the PAX with the iPad register

Touch the three lines button in the upper left corner of the customer facing display screen.

If it succeeds it will say Success and return to the customer facing display page.

Pairing Failure

If the pairing returns an error or spins forever and never returns check the following:

  • Make sure the PAX device and the iPad are on the same local WIFI network.
  • Make sure the IP addresses are the same on the iPad and the button you selected from the pairing list. If they are not the same or the iPad's IP address does not show up in the list you can enter the IP address manually by selecting Not Found. Then you can enter the IP address found on the iPad login screen and touch the Pair button. The port usually does not need to be changed. You can leave the default value of 55124
