Depending on your local network, you may need to set your PAX device to use either DHCP LAN mode or Static LAN mode.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) - This is a network standard used to automate the process of configuring devices on IP networks. Internet-enabled devices connected to your home or work network are automatically assigned an IP address by your router. Since this is a dynamic assignment, it may change if the router or device is restarted.
Static IP - This setting allows your device to accept an assigned IP address, however, the address is kept until you cancel the IP reservation or remove the device from your network. This is helpful to ensure that your device will remember the same IP address, in the event the router or device is restarted.

Changing to Static Mode to Save Your IP Address (WiFi)
If the IP address assigned to your PAX device changes, you will need to update the IP address in your RepairQ Payment Device settings before RepairQ will be able to communicate with the device again. To prevent this from happening, you can set up the device to use a static IP.
1. You can follow the above steps (1-6) until you are in the IP Settings section.
2. Next to the IP Settings section, tap the Dropdown Arrow and select Static.
3. Enter your current IP address and tap Save.
4. Tap the Home button to go back to the home screen.
