This guide provides three methods to disable the portable hotspot feature on your smart POS terminal: through the device's settings menu and using a dedicated application.

Method 1: Disabling via Settings Menu

  • Access Settings: Tap on the 'Settings' icon on your terminal.
  • Navigate to Hotspot Settings: Follow this path: More -> Tethering & Portable Hotspot.
  • Turn Off the Hotspot: Select 'Portable WLAN Hotspot' and toggle it off.

Method 2: Disabling via Application

Here is a demo of disabling the portable hotspot on your smart POS terminal using a specific application.

Method 3: Disabling via Wizarview

  • Select Terminal: Go to 'Terminals' > 'Terminal'.
  • Choose the Desired Terminal: Identify and select the terminal you wish to configure.
  • Configure System Parameters: Click on the 'Config System Parameter' icon.
  • Access System Settings: In the popup, navigate to the 'System' tab.
  • Disable Hotspot: In the 'WIFI HotSpot' dropdown list, select 'Disabled'.
  • Commit Changes: Click 'Commit' to apply the new settings.

Important Notes:

  • Firmware Dependency: This feature is firmware-dependent. Disabling the hotspot through TMS will remove the 'Tethering & Portable Hotspot' menu from the terminal.
  • Firmware Version Requirements:
    • Q2/K2/QD4/M2 models require firmware version 3962 or higher.
    • Q1v2 model requires firmware version 0481 or higher.
    • Q2A7 model requires firmware version 0240 or higher.
