Linking multiple POS devices(POS hardware, order terminal, mobile order terminal) is possible by setup main POS internal Database server or external Database server port number to static.
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: ===


# On main device(where you want the database to be located on), open the software if haven't done so, at the main menu, click/tap Database Setup
# 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'''.
# Change '''Database mode''' to '''Standalone''' if haven't done so
# Change the '''Database Mode''' to '''Standalone''' if it has not been set already.
# Set a fixed/static port number on the '''Listening Port''' and remember this port number as your need it on other devices(Note: anything above 1024 and not more than 65535, example in this guide, ''8080'')
# 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.)
# Click/Tap '''Save''' button to confirm changes, and the software will ask for confirming Software restarting, allow to restart
# 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.
# After restarted, please setup your main device's Android IP address, and make it fixed/static IP address, write it down or remember it as you will need this IP address too.(Note: please refer to your Android device manual/guide on how to setup fixed/static IP Address, Google is your best friend, in the mean time ''192.168.1.50'' is an example in this guide)
# 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.)
# On other Android device(where you want to use as order terminal or mobile order terminal), install the TitaniaPOS software if haven't do so, otherwise launch it
# 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.
# On the other device main screen, click/tap '''Database Setup''', then change '''Database Mode''' to '''Network'''
# On the other device's main screen, click or tap on '''Database Setup''' and change the '''Database Mode''' to '''Network'''.
# On '''Server API Address''', enter the following <code>http://<ip address from the main device>:<port number from the main device></code>, in this guide example, <nowiki>http://192.168.1.50:8080</nowiki>
# In the '''Server API Address''' field, enter the following format <code>http://<ip address from the main device>:<port number from the main device></code>. For example, in this guide, it would be <nowiki>http://192.168.1.50:8080</nowiki>.
# Click/Tap '''Save''' button to confirm changes, and the software will ask for confirming Software restarting, allow to restart
# Click or tap the '''Save''' button to confirm the changes. The software will again prompt you to confirm a restart. Allow it to restart.
# After restarted, you should able to see your other device will be start using main device configuration(Department, PLU, Window, etc)
# After the restart, the other device should begin using the main device's configuration, including settings such as Department, PLU, Window, etc.

If you need to set more other devices to link to main device, please follow from '''step 6'''
To link additional devices to the main device, repeat the process starting from '''Step 6'''.

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.
