How to Configured the settings of the Equinox 8500
Setting up 8500 Terminal
When you order the terminal from Coreware, you typically don't need to perform all the steps outlined below. The terminals come pre-configured, so all you need to do is connect the power cables and the Ethernet cable to your modem or router. But if there are any configurations that you prefer please follow the instructions below.
Power On the coreCLEAR Equinox 8500 Terminal. Once Booted Up, you will see the coreCLEAR banner.
Press and Hold the Magnifying Glass button for 5 Seconds and then double-click it - to go to the Setup Menu
A screen will pop up with 2 Menu Options - Utilities and Setup. Choose Setup!
Then under the Setup Menu - Choose System Config>Network! The following options will need to be selected:
Enable HTTPS - Choose ON! Then select Next!
Please Select a Network - WIRED; then Please Select Wired Network - ETHERNET. (You can leave USB off)
Network Configuration - Always choose DHCP.
If the "Failed to enable DHCP: Disconnected" error shows, the Terminal is not connected to the Internet.

In the Power Management sub-menu, you can change the Brightness Percentage for the Screen and Keypad, as well as the Inactivity Timeout (Sleep Mode), we recommend NEVER as we have had issues with the Terminal struggling to wake up from Sleep Mode in some instances.
