Hardline Ethernet Connection and Charging for Your Smart Reader

BBPOS WisePOS E Dock

The BBPOS WisePOS™ E Dock provides hardwired ethernet connectivity and keeps your smart reader fully charged for all-day use with the included USB-C to USB-A charging cable. It features a 10/100 Ethernet port, rubber feet for stable countertop usage, and is designed for easy docking and undocking using the pins on the back of the reader.

Please Note: Terminal docks can only currently be shipped to locations in the continental U.S. and Hawaii.

 

To set up the dock:

•    Connect the Ethernet cable from your dock to your router.

•    Connect the dock to power. It has a minimum power requirement of 5V-2A (10W) and includes a charging cable, which you can plug into any USB-A power adapter (not included).

•    When both cables are connected, insert the reader into the dock.

•    To confirm that the reader is properly docked, verify the reader is charging and the Ethernet icon is visible in the status bar.

The reader obtains an IP address using DHCP. As soon as the network cable is plugged in, the reader attempts to establish communication with the POS system.

Network Priority

The BBPOS WisePOS E prioritizes connecting through Ethernet if possible. Even if previously configured for WiFi, the reader switches to using an Ethernet connection when connected to the dock with a plugged-in Ethernet cable. If the reader is removed from the dock, it switches back to the WiFi connection.

The BBPOS WisePOS E resets its priority to Ethernet when rebooting. Even if previously configured for WiFi, the reader switches to Ethernet if it detects an Ethernet cable connection while starting up.

If the reader is docked but there is no Ethernet cable plugged in, it uses WiFi. Regardless of connectivity while docked, you can still connect to WiFi and manage networks on the device.
