Before beginning the terminal configuration process, make sure that the terminal is configured in the PAX Store. Creation of the PAX Store account is typically done as part of deployment prior to delivery to the merchant.
If the terminal is not configured in the PAX Store, you will be unable to complete the entire configuration process. Power down the terminal, contact PayFacto, and have the terminal serial number available.
Before you can connect the terminal to a vending device, you must connect the power cable, configure the network connections, and configure the software. To access the terminal’s configuration, you must first connect the power cable.
To connect the terminal power cable:
Turn the terminal over.

NOTE: Although it can only fit one way, make sure the release tab is positioned towards the top of the terminal.
Plug the male end of the AC cord into the AC adapter and plug into an AC outlet.
The terminal powers on, Android starts, and displays the terminal’s main screen.
The terminal does not have a dedicated power on/off button; it turns on automatically when you connect it to an AC power source and turns off when disconnected from a power source.
