Linking multiple POS devices, including POS hardware, order terminals, and mobile order terminals, can be achieved by configuring the main POS internal database server or an external database server with a static port number.

Step-by-step configuration:

  1. On the main device where you want the database to be located, open the software if it has not already been launched. From the main menu, click or tap on Database Setup.
  2. Change the Database Mode to Standalone if it has not been set already.
  3. Assign a fixed/static port number for the Listening Port and make a note of this port number, as you will need it for other devices. (Note: Choose any number above 1024 and below 65535. For example, in this guide, we use 8080.)
  4. Click or tap the Save button to confirm the changes. The software will prompt you to confirm a restart of the application. Allow it to restart.
  5. After the restart, configure your main device's Android IP address to be fixed/static. Write it down or remember it, as you will need this IP address as well. (Note: Refer to your Android device manual or guide for instructions on setting a fixed/static IP address. For reference, the example IP used in this guide is 192.168.1.50.)
  6. On another Android device, which you intend to use as an order terminal or mobile order terminal, install the TitaniaPOS software if it is not already installed. Otherwise, launch the application.
  7. On the other device's main screen, click or tap on Database Setup and change the Database Mode to Network.
  8. In the Server API Address field, enter the following format http://<ip address from the main device>:<port number from the main device>. For example, in this guide, it would be http://192.168.1.50:8080.
  9. Click or tap the Save button to confirm the changes. The software will again prompt you to confirm a restart. Allow it to restart.
  10. After the restart, the other device should begin using the main device's configuration, including settings such as Department, PLU, Window, etc.
  11. Congratulation

To link additional devices to the main device, repeat the process starting from Step 6.
