New functionality
Alipay
We have introduced Alipay, one of the biggest payment methods for Chinese shoppers, in this firmware version for both integrated and standalone terminals.
For a guide to using your terminal to process Alipay payments see QR code payments.
Contact Support Team if you want to offer Alipay as a payment option.
Network failover
We have implemented a network failover mechanism to reduce the risk of connection issues. A terminal will fall back to a secondary or tertiary network interface if that is available, for example a 3g connection.
This applies to the VX690 and E355 models only.
This feature is not enabled by default.
Multiple Wi-Fi PEAP profiles for same SSID
You can now implement multiple Wi-Fi PEAP profiles on a terminal to avoid disconnections due to expired profiles. When a terminal disconnects due to an expired Wi-Fi profile, the terminal will check for other profiles with a valid date and automatically switch over.
Improved functionality
Bluetooth flow
We have applied changes to the user interface to simplify connecting to Bluetooth.
We've added:
- A separate item in the Bluetooth menu for a base station
- The ability to show the serial number of a connected device.
Fixed issues
- On the totals receipt the word 'total' is not translated to the local language
- When the receipt is configured with a large font size and a long string, the receipt header did not fit on the paper.
