Veloce POS Application Configuration

This topic describes how to configure the Veloce POS application to use a PAX terminal as a workstation.

Veloce POS Application - First start

To start the Veloce POS application, touch its icon on the Android desktop. The app will start, and you will see a welcome screen with the message "Serial number not set".

Veloce POS Application - Initial Configuration

Touch the cog wheel icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to access the application's settings.

The Veloce Application's settings will be displayed. The settings are divided in various sections, illustrated separately for clarity:

Workstation Type

Default value

Workstation

Available options:

Workstation

Select this option to use the payement terminal as a normal POS workstation as well as a payment device.

Client Display

Select this option if you are using a tablet as a customer-facing display or order confirmation screen.

Kitchen Display

Select this option if you are using a tablet as a kitchen display.

Terminal

Select this option to use the terminal as a payment device only.

Workstation Properties

Workstation number

Enter the workstation number to use for this workstation. This corresponds to the workstation number configured in Point of Sale Control > Workstation > Workstation's Setup.

Serial number

Enter you Veloce license serial number.

Cloud-based

Enable this option only if you are using the cloud-based Back-Office. If your Veloce Back-Office is installed on a PC on your local network, this option needs to be disabled.

Workstation theme

Select between the various color schemes that will apply to the workstation.

Auto-Connect

Enable this option to have the Veloce POS application connect automatically to the Veloce Back-Office when the application is launched. If this option is left disabled, the workstation will not connect automatically to the Veloce Back-Office when the application is launched. Instead, you will need to press a "CONNECT" button to manually connect.

Connection credentials

Username

Enter the username to connect to the Veloce Back-Office, as configured in Setup / Utilities > Configuration > System Configuration... > Misc. > Modern Workstation > UserName.

Password

Enter the password to connect to the Veloce Back-Office, as configured in Setup / Utilities > Configuration > System Configuration... > Misc. > Modern Workstation > Password.

Forced IP

In this field, type the IP address that the Veloce POS application should use to connect to the Veloce Back-Office. This is required only if your Veloce Back-Office PC has more than one Ethernet adapter or uses multiple virtual adapters, resulting in the same PC having multiple IP addresses.

Hardware

Scanner

Enable/Disable this option to turn the barcode scanner on or off.

Printer

Enable/Disable this option to turn the built-in printer on or off.

Tear paper prompt

Enable this option to have the application stop printing and notify the user when a check/receipt needs to be torn from the built-in printer. If this option is disabled, the printer will briefly pause between each printout but will automatically resume printing without notifying the user.

Payment

Enable this option to use the terminal as a payment device.

Card Reader

Enable/Disable this option to turn the magnetic card reader on or off. This only affects non-payment cards, like employee cards. Even of this option is disabled, the magnetic card reader will still be usable as a fall-back reader for payments cards (debit and credit).

Mifare Reader

Enable/Disable this option to turn the Mifare reader (contactless reader) on or off. This only affects non-payment cards, like employee cards. Even of this option is disabled, contactless payment will still be available.

Miscellaneous options

Automatic reboots

Enable or disable up to two scheduled automatic reboots. The reboot time can be set to 15 minutes increments.

Run on startup

Enable this option to automatically start the Veloce POS app when the terminal powers on.
