Understanding communication options on your wireless terminal

There are 2 variations of the Moneris Core® Move/5000 wireless terminal: one variation supports both cellular (4G) and Wi-Fi® communication, the other supports Wi-Fi communication only.

Dual communication — cellular (4G) and Wi-Fi

If your terminal supports both cellular (4G) and Wi-Fi communication, the 4G icon will appear in the status bar at the top of the screen when you power on the terminal. When  the terminal connects to your Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon will appear instead of 4G. As you move the terminal from one area to another, it will switch automatically to the network with the stronger signal without interrupting communication.

When the terminal switches back to the cellular network, it will display the 4G icon again.

Wi-Fi communication only

If your terminal supports Wi-Fi communication only, then only the Wi-Fi icon will appear in the status bar at the top of the screen. You may disregard any references to dual or cellular or 4G communication in this guide.
