Assigning Static IP Addresses to Workstations

Static IP addresses may be assigned to POS workstations and kitchen printers, for example.

This installation requires Administrator privileges on the POS workstation. If you do not have them, please contact your IT support or Solteq Support. Connect the terminal to an electrical outlet and to the POS workstation before contacting support.
