The BBPOS WisePOS E terminal is quick and easy to set up with Lightspeed Payments. When you receive the terminal from Lightspeed, it will already be configured for your account, so all you will need to do is plug in and pair the terminal. 

It is important that you only use the terminal supplied to you by Lightspeed, as any terminal obtained from a third party may not be correctly configured for your account and could present a security risk.

The terminal can either be set up via your wifi network or via an ethernet cable plugged into the supplied dock. In either case, the terminal will need to be on the same network as your Retail POS account.

In the box

• BBPOS WisePOS E terminal 
• Power cable
• USB to USB-C cable 
• Battery
• Ethernet dock
• Ethernet cable

Initial setup

To begin processing with Lightspeed Payments, the terminal will need to be powered on and updated. To set up the terminal:

1. Open the back of the terminal by lifting up from the indentation at the bottom left-hand corner of the terminal.
   
2. Insert the battery into the back of the terminal with the gold connectors aligned at the top of the device.
   
3. Replace the back cover of the terminal.
4. Plug the power cable into the port on the side of the terminal and connect the USB end to a powered USB port. 
5. For best results, we recommend plugging the cable into a dedicated charging block into a wall outlet. Upon first use, the terminal will need to charge for at least 4 hours.

Adding the WisePOS E to your network

• Ethernet

  1. Plug one end of the ethernet cable into your router and the other end into the ethernet port on the dock. 
  2. Turn the terminal on by holding the power button on the right-hand side of the device until the screen turns on.

  Your terminal will immediately connect to the internet and will remain charged through the dock. If you wish to remove the terminal from the dock, you'll need to make sure the terminal is connected to your wifi network. You must connect the terminal to the same network accessed by Lightspeed Retail. 

• Wi-Fi

  You must connect your terminal to a WPA-Personal- or WPA2-Personal-encrypted wifi network. Open wifi networks that are not password-protected or enterprise networks are not supported. You must connect the terminal to the same network accessed by Lightspeed Retail. 

  To connect the terminal to your wifi network:

  1. Slide your finger from the left-hand edge of the screen to reveal a Settings button. 
     
  2. Tap Settings.
