Terminal basic troubleshooting steps

- Overview, Wifi, Bluetooth, Cellular
- Turn off wifi on all models press settings, network then select wifi to turn it off (to troubleshoot if the local network has internet connectivity issue)
- Ensure if 4G icon is on the top left
- Try to process a sale, click on payment on the bottom right of the main screen that's in case the standalone mode is enabled for this terminal on the acquirer's backend.
If there is no payment icon, that means standalone mode is disabled on acquirer's backend, so a ticket has to be raised with Oolio pay support to enable it for that particular terminal. afterwards the merchant has to run configuration update on the terminal, so the payment icon appears on the bottom right of the screen. To run configuration update press on settings if its S1F2 (press 9 + enter if it's V400M) then select configuration and press on update so when you go back to the main screen you should find the payment icon as per below.
Note: P400 has no sim card, so standalone payments will be doable only if wifi is enabled on the terminal through settings and also on the acquirer's backend then configuration update is required on the terminal. payment icon will come up on the screen so merchant can test a manual transaction. - Ensure if 4G icon is on the top left
