Checking Internet Connectivity

PDQ Home Screen 1

Check if the PDQ has obtained a valid IP address (either from DHCP or its own static settings) by checking the colour of the network symbol.

If the network symbol is:

  • Green: The terminal has obtained an IP address through DHCP or through a static IP if this has been set up. Please note that any static IP will make this symbol green, even if the settings are not valid for your network.
  • White: There is no network activity. Please check that the network cable has been correctly inserted into the black box/base and the router/switch. If you are using an iWL, please ensure that the power cable has been correctly inserted into the base and that the PDQ is paired to the base. The base pairing can be updated by following the instructions here.
  • Red: The terminal is not able to obtain an IP address from the network. This could be caused by no DHCP response or if a network conflict has been detected.
