How Do I Locate my Main Station
Last Updated:What's in this article?
If your venue has 2 or more POS stations, there is a good chance your main station will be located in an office or A/V rack. It will also be a small form factor computer (Dell or Lenovo branded 98% of the time) instead of a full POS station. In most cases, a monitor (small 7 inch is the most common) will be attached and you will see a window with the POS software loaded on it. If no monitor is attached, the main station will most likely have a physical label such as “POS MAIN STATION” or “SMARTTAB POS MAIN”. If the main station is a small form factor computer, it will usually be a square-shaped black box with Dell or Lenovo branding.
If you only have 1 POS at your venue, then most likely that is the main station as well. However, this might not be true if you allow self-ordering at your venue. In that case, you might also have a separate main station.
Pre-requisite: On-site and able to access a stationary POS Station. *You cannot do this with a mobile POS, aka iPad system.

- If Main Station is Not on A/V rack
- If your venue has more than 3 stations there is a good chance your Main is in an office or on an A/V rack
If so it is typically a small form factor PC (90% of the time it is branded Dell or Lenovo)
