New menu structure
We'll rearrange the menu options on the terminal, and change the way you access the menus. This brings several advantages:
- To open a menu, users select an on-screen button. They don't have to learn key combinations anymore.
- Options are protected with a passcode depending on their function, not depending on the menu.
-
There's a clear distinction between the type of options: The Settings menu contains hardware options, and the Adyen menu contains payment-related options:
Settings menu Adyen menu Device info Transactions Network Totals Software Payments (on standalone) Configuration Hardware diagnostics Power off
On standalone terminals, a Payment button lets you start a normal payment, and the special payments menu will be part of the Adyen menu.
We expect to release this feature by the end of the second quarter of 2021.
Quick pairing with a Bluetooth base station
When the Bluetooth base station is connected to the Ethernet, turned on (white LED is on), and ready for pairing (blue LED is blinking), this is all you have to do to connect the V400m payment terminal with your wired network:
- Dock the terminal into the base station.
- On the terminal, select Pair now.
That's it! Bluetooth is enabled automatically on the terminal, and you no longer have to select the base station that you want to connect to.
We expect to release this feature by the end of the second quarter of 2021.
Hardware diagnostics
We added tests that let you check the following hardware parts of the terminal:
- Keypad
- Chip card reader
- Swipe reader
The animation shows the chip card reader test.
This has been released in VOS V1.61 on most terminals.
New Bluetooth menu
The most important improvements to the Bluetooth menu on VOS payment terminals are:
- More guidance: Instructions and intuitive hints make it easier for users to follow what they need to do.
- Clean layout and easy navigation: Crisp screens with a light background and no clutter.
This has been released in VOS V1.60.
New Device info screen
We redesigned the Quick info screen / Info screen on VOS payment terminals. The new screen has a light background and is renamed to Device info.
This has been released in VOS V1.60.
New Wi-Fi menu
The most important improvements to the Wi-Fi menu on VOS payment terminals are:
- More guidance: Instructions and intuitive hints make it easier for users to follow what they need to do.
- Clean layout and easy navigation: Crisp screens with a light background and no clutter.
- Icons indicating the connection state. For example,
means the terminal is connected to your Wi-Fi network and the signal strength is good. - More network details: SSID, BSSID, signal strength, band, frequency, protocol, key management, encryption... with this many details it's easier to troubleshoot any issues.
This has been released in VOS V1.56.
