Configuring the Wireless Signal Strength Threshold for Tablet Devices

  1. Perform one of the following, depending on which level you want to configure or override:

    • To configure at the property level, select the property, click Setup, and then click Property Parameters.

    • To override at the workstation, select the property, click Setup, and then click Workstations.

  2. On the General tab, in the Wireless Signal Strength Control section, enter information in the following fields:

    • Offline Threshold: Enter a number between 0 and 99 to represent the signal strength percentage at which devices go offline. Devices will go offline when the signal strength is at or below this percentage value. For example, if the Offline Threshold is set to 90 (90%), and the device’s current signal is 89%, the device will go offline. When the signal is detected above 90%, the device reconnects online.

    • Reconnect Threshold: Enter a number between 0 and 99 to represent the signal strength percentage at which devices recover online after being in an offline state. Devices will go online when the signal strength is at or above this percentage value. For example, if the Reconnect Threshold is set to 80, and the device’s signal strength is 85%, the device will go online.

    These values appear in a status bar on the POS client workstation.

  3. Click Save.
