Wireless communication indicators
There are 2 variations of the
wireless terminal.
Terminals
with dual communication (both 4G and Wi-Fi communication)
The
terminal uses long-range cellular communication (4G or 3G) to send and
receive information to and from the Moneris host. The terminal communicates
via 4G by default for faster communication rates, and uses 3G as a fallback
where 4G is not available. If you set up a Wi-Fi network, the terminal
will switch to Wi-Fi when the Wi-Fi signal is stronger.
Terminals with Wi-Fi communication
only
You
must set up a Wi-Fi network on the terminal in order to communicate with
Moneris. You may disregard any references to 4G in this manual.
Network
indicators
The network indicator appears
in the status bar at the top of the screen.
