Security

WiFi Signal Strength

The VX 680 supports WPA-PSK (aka WPA-Personal) and

WPA2-PSK (aka WPA-Personal2) authentication formats

and both AES and TKIP encryption. WPA2-PSK and AES

encryption are recommended however these depend on

your WiFi router and network capabilities.

There are certain environmental factors such as concrete walls and

other devices that use the same frequency that can have an impact

on the signal quality of the WiFi network. If possible, place your

wireless access point in the center of the area you wish to cover. Also,

consider mounting WiFi access points high on a wall or ceiling, avoid-

ing any obstructions that can impede WiFi signals. For best WiFi

performance, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding

location and positioning.

Where to place the terminal

Place the terminal on a desk or tabletop. Avoid areas with direct

sunlight, objects that radiate heat, excessive dust and other electri-

cal devices that can cause excessive voltage.

GWay:192.168.100.1

DNS2:0.0.0.0

There are certain environmental factors that can impact the

quality and strength of wireless signals such as concrete

walls and other devices that use the same frequency.

In this example, the 3 blue bars

indicate a signal quality in the 50-75%

range and the blue rings around the

top of the tower indicate the device is

communicating.

You can improve your wireless signal by placing the

router in the centre of the area you wish to cover and by

removing large furniture and shelving from the immedi-

ate area.

Where to place the VX 680 Bluetooth Base

What you need to connect

The VX 680 Bluetooth base can pair up to 8

individual VX 680 terminals, however only

one transaction can be processed at a time.

When 4 or more VX 680 terminals are in use,

it is recommended that additional Bluetooth

bases be added and postioned in a manner to

maximize radio coverage.

To establish a Bluetooth connection between the VX 680

terminal in Bluetooth mode and the Bluetooth base, you

need to complete the 3 steps listed below.

Place the VX 680 Bluetooth base in a central location in your

business - on top of a desk or countertop - to allow the best

radio coverage. Avoid placing the VX 680 base in a back

room or underneath counters as environmental factors such

as concrete walls, crowds and furniture can limit the range.

Also, avoid areas with direct sunlight, objects that radiate

head, excessive dust and placing the base beside other

electrical devices.
