Device Type
Overview
On first launch the app asks you to choose the device’s role. This decides whether the device acts as the primary till that talks to the cloud, or as a secondary till that connects to another till on the local network.
Requirements
- A tablet with the Eatabill POS Application installed
- For a SubPOS: a MainPOS already set up on the same local network
Steps
Open the app
Launch the Eatabill POS Application. On first launch it opens the Device Activation screen.
Choose the device type
Tap Main POS Activation for the primary till (it connects directly to the cloud), or Sub POS Activation for a secondary till (it connects to a MainPOS over the local network). There’s no confirm step — tapping an option saves your choice straight away.
Continue to pairing
The app moves on right away. A MainPOS goes on to pairing; a SubPOS goes on to connecting.
Notes
A location’s first or primary till is the MainPOS. Additional tills at the same location run as SubPOS devices.
Troubleshooting
Picked the wrong device type? There’s no option in Settings to change it — contact support to reset the device, then choose again on the Device Activation screen.
