POS Connection Settings

Use Connection settings to configure how this POS communicates with the master terminal, local network, Tapa Cloud, and optional WAN relay services.

Master settings

  • Is Master runs this POS as the master terminal for other POS clients.
  • IP Address is the network address of the master device.
  • Use Native Transport uses the newer communication method with a Tapa Go master. Do not use it with a legacy master, mixed environment, or when connecting to old TapaPOS.
  • Enable Cloud Relay uses the WAN relay for remote POS clients while the master continues accepting local clients.
  • Relay Server stores the relay hostname or full ws:// or wss:// endpoint used for relay testing or operation.

Network and diagnostics

  • Refresh reloads detected network adapters.
  • Open Network Settings opens the device network settings.
  • Run Checks checks the local gateway, internet path, and Tapa Cloud connectivity.

Only one terminal should normally act as the master for a POS group. If client terminals cannot connect, confirm the master IP address, network adapter, and cloud reachability before changing relay settings.
