Boot up the Link 2500
- The terminal will boot to the TriPOS screen regardless of a wifi connection.
- If this is a first-time setup, once the terminal is connected to the wireless network this device will display an activation code.
Connect to your Wifi network
- To connect the terminal to the wifi, power the device on and allow it to boot to the TriPOS screen, once on this screen tap 0-0-0-1
- On the next screen you will use the F2 key to scroll down to WIFI Parameters:
- On the next menu, select Scan Networks. Once the list of Networks populates use the F2 key to scroll down and highlight the network you would like to connect to, once highlighted use the green button to select that network.
- On the next screen, you will need to enter the wifi password. You can enter the password with T9 texting style by repeatedly tapping the numbers for the appropriate letters or you can use the Function keys at the top to scroll around the On-Screen keyboard.
- Once the password is entered (Password is case sensitive) the device will show "New Profile OK" and you will enter back into the main screen and the wireless connection in the top left corner of the screen should turn green.
