CCV PAX A920 - Setting up a static IP address assignment

Sometimes it is necessary to assign a static IP address on your card reader. In general, this should be configured as an IP reservation on your internet router. However, this is not always possible. In this tutorial, we will show you how to assign a static IP address directly on your CCV PAX A920 card reader.

You will usually receive the IP address data from your IT service provider, IT technician, or POS system provider.

Completion

After tapping "Save," the card reader will attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network using the static IP data.

A successful connection can be recognized by the word "Connected" displayed under your Wi-Fi network name.

If you see a different message instead of "Connected," the connection with the entered IP data was not successful. Please repeat the setup.

Then, please perform a connection test.
