Connect a screen

In PerfectWORK, an IoT Box can be connected to a screen display. After being connected, the screen can be used to display a PoS order to a client.

Note

Access the customer display from any other computer by going to the IoT Box homepage and clicking on the POS Display button.

Connection

The way to connect the screen display to the IoT Box differs depending on the model.

IoT Box model 4IoT Box model 3

Connect up to two screens with Micro-HDMI cables on the side of the IoT Box. If two screens are connected, they can display distinct content (see usage below).

Important

Screen(s) should be connected before the IoT Box is switched on. If it is already on, connect the screen(s), and then restart the IoT Box by unplugging it and plugging it back into its power source.

Warning

The usage of HDMI/Micro-HDMI adapters may cause issues which will result in a blank, black screen on the screen display. Cable usage is recommended.

If the connection was successful, the screen should display the POS Client display screen.

The screen should also appear in the list of Displays on the IoT Box homepage.

Note

If no screen is detected, a default display named Distant Display will be used instead.

Usage
