Introduction

The Live Monitor module allows a quick access overview of device activity and sales in real time through the Live Monitor button. The sales monitor home screen will give you a list of the devices on site. Use this to check if a device has been communicating with the Way2Pay network via heartbeat.

Network Status Indicators

Understanding the Sales Monitor Screen

The different coloured circles and symbols are indicators of the ‘health’ of the network connections between devices and the Way2Pay servers.

What the symbols mean

	Device has a healthy network connection and has successfully communicated with the Way2 network when Heartbeat has been sent and received.
	Device is offline. Session has been closed. No connection can be established between device and Way2Pay network. Often indicates device has been turned off and disconnected at the end of day. Sites are always advised to leave devices connected to the network to allow for maintenance and software updates.
	Device has failed to return first attempt at heartbeat. Monitor and review in 15 mins in case of serious problems.
	Network Error requires urgent attention. Indicates that a return heartbeat has not been received from a device when requested and that the system has gone offline before the session has been closed. Refer to network troubleshooting guides.
