Internet Connection settings
Apple recommends that routers be given static IP
addresses. To copy the router-assigned (DHCP)
addresses to static ones:
1. On the
DHCP tab, note the IP address, Subnet
Mask, Router Address, and the DNS Server settings
(fig. 12).
2. On the
Static tab, enter the IP information that you
noted in DHCP settings.
Be sure to double-check
your work
, since the connection will fail if you
make an error.
Note that you must manually enter all four IP addresses,
including any that may already appear. All entries must now
appear in blue , as shown in figure 13.
3. AirPort Utility requests that you update the router settings (fig. 14). At
the prompt “Do you want to update this base station’s settings?,” tap
Update .

Enabling credit-card readers
Most credit-card readers require no setup or configuration; simply plug one in to the headset
jack on the iPad.
To ensure data security, the credit-card reader uses point-to-point encryption and contains an
encryption key. For this reason, you must obtain the reader from the payment gateway.
You may find, however, that the reader fails to recognize cards when they are swiped. This may
occur because the on/off control for the headset jack has been turned off. To reenable it, move
the switch to the On position.
Another reason may be that the card reader has become dirty. Active Club Solutions recommends
that you purchase card reader cleaners when ordering your POS hardware.
On the iPad 2 and the iPad Air, the switch is next to the volume up/down control in one corner
of the unit (figs. 16–17).
On the iPad Air 2, the hardware switch is replaced by the Control Center (fig. 18). To open it,
swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Make sure that the volume slider is all the way to the
right, and Mute is off.

Pairing Walker Bluetooth readers
The Walker credit-card reader comes in two versions: the version obtained from EVO Payments
works from the iPad headphone jack, as described above. The reader supplied by OpenEdge is a
Bluetooth model, which must be paired with your iPad.
To set up the Walker BT card reader:
1. Look at the light on the reader.
2. When it is first turned on, it will blink red and green. When the red/green blinking stops, what
do you see?
3. If it is blinking green, you are ready to process a card or pair the reader if it has not been
done already.
4. If it is a solid green, hold the power button for five seconds and make sure it starts blinking
green.
5. Once you see that the reader is blinking green you are ready process the card or pair the
reader if it has not been done already.
6. If successful, you are done.
7. If the OpenEdge mobile app says it can’t find any readers, delete the OpenEdge mobile app
from the iPad and reinstall it from the Apple Store.
8. Try to process a card, it will open the OpenEdge mobile app and ask you to choose the
Walker BT reader (Make sure the reader is blinking green or go back to steps 1-5 again).
