Legacy (Older) Terminals

Managing wifi networks for the Ingenico Link 2500 terminal.

Can you setup multiple wifi locations for the Ingenico Link 2500 terminal?

The Ingenico Link 2500 terminal can be setup to work on multiple wifi networks, but not at the same time. If your wifi locations are far enough apart, then the Ingenico Link 2500 will be able to connect to each one individually, as the settings menu will only appear on the terminal if it is not connected to wifi. The network is independent from the from the activation and device key.

 

How to connect a terminal to a new Wifi network.

Note: The terminal has a security feature that requires you to be out of range of wifi networks that are already setup on the terminal, before you can access the settings on the terminal.

If you are attempting to alternate between 2 wifi networks in the same location or change networks,  you need to move far enough away from both networks so the terminal is no longer connected to wifi, then you can access the settings following the steps below to delete all wifi networks, then move back in range to connect to the preferred network. 

1. Once out of range, select the settings menu by entering 0-0-0-1.

2. Navigate to "Wifi Parameters" using F2 and F3 and select it using the green button.

3. Navigate to "My Networks" using F2 and F3 and select it using the green button.

4. Navigate to "Delete All" and select it. The system will prompt you with a message saying "Remove Profile OK", which indicates that the networks have been removed from the terminal.

5. Move back into range of the wifi network you want to connect to, follow steps 1 and 2 above to get to Wifi parameters, and choose 2. Scan Networks and select the network you want to connect to.
