Network Mode

Network Mode allows NexoPOS for Windows to serve approved NexoPOS Client devices over the local network. It is useful when a store needs NexoPOS available from more than one computer, such as an additional checkout, an office workstation, or a stock-management device. Each device must be paired and approved before it can connect.

Keep the Server Running

NexoPOS Client can discover NexoPOS only while the server is running. Before pairing or managing devices, open NexoPOS for Windows and confirm that its status is Running. If the server is stopped, select Start and wait for the services to start.

Troubleshooting Discovery

  • If the gateway shows Waiting For Server, start the NexoPOS for Windows server.
  • Confirm that the server and NexoPOS Client device are on the same local network.
  • Confirm that Network Mode and the LAN gateway are enabled before attempting discovery.
  • Check the connection-status information for the advertised addresses and secure port when diagnosing a network issue.
