Security and Network Settings

Settings → Network holds how the Hub is reachable. The defaults suit almost every shop, so you can usually leave it alone.

Before you start

• The Hub open on its computer.

Steps

What happens next

• Network changes restart the Hub's local bridge. Printing and the kitchen display reconnect within seconds, and a device that does not come back should be reloaded.

Edge cases

• Turning off the secure bridge disconnects the browser app, with no printing, kitchen display or customer display from a browser tab. Phones and tablets using the app are not affected.
• Browser bridge error. Usually the local certificate failed to start. Restart the Hub first. See Troubleshooting.
• Being findable is not being usable. Every device on the Wi-Fi can find the Hub, but each must be paired before it can print or read anything.
• Browser on another computer. It pairs against this computer's LAN IP, typed in the wizard's Advanced, Hub address field, which needs sharing on.
• Updating from an older Hub. If sharing was off, the update turns it on once. Turn it off again and it stays off.
• The certificate. See Installing the Hub Certificate. It is optional, for this shop only, and each download is in the Audit Log.
• Every change is recorded in the Audit Log, including turning sharing on or off.
