In this article, we look at the setup and basic functionality of a Dojo card machine.

This terminal can be integrated with Cloud POS, enabling the retailer to accept integrated payments and avoid the need to manually key in amounts into a stand-alone PDQ.  This has the advantage of being faster, simpler, and reduces the possibility of keying errors.

Card Machine Functions

Getting Started

1)  Remove the battery protection sticker
Open the back of the card machine to remove the battery and peel off the protective sticker.

2)  Power up
Connect the USB cable to the power adapter and plug into the charging base. To power on the machine, hold down the power button for 2-4 seconds.

NOTE:  If your charging base is to be cabled into your wired network, plug the ethernet cable into the port labelled RS232, not the LAN port.

3)  Connect to Wi-Fi
You’ll need to connect to Wi-Fi to set up your machine - follow the steps on-screen. Make sure your Wi-Fi is password protected. Once connected, you’ll need to enter the activation code you were sent by Dojo to complete the setup.

Will the machine work without being connected to the Wi-Fi?
Yes. The card machines come with a SIM included so if you are not connected to the Wi-Fi, you will have a 4G connection.

If your Wi-Fi connection goes down, your machine can switch to mobile data so payments aren’t interrupted.  If you don’t already have mobile connectivity enabled, contact Dojo to get this up and running.

You can also switch the Wi-Fi connection at any point by going to Menu > Settings > Wi-Fi Settings > Select a Wi-Fi Connection.

Check your Version

To check what version your Dojo Go is on, and view the connection set up, go to Menu > Settings > About.

Select the arrow in the top left to return to Settings.

Setting Up in Cloud POS Backoffice 

Dojo will provide Citrus-Lime with an email containing a URL, API Key and Terminal ID(s) which are entered into the Register configuration in Cloud POS backoffice.

The Terminal ID must match that of the terminal physically located by the register, i.e., if Terminal ID 12345678 is to be used with Till 01, ensure that is the Terminal ID entered into the configuration for Till 01 in Cloud POS backoffice.

The URL must be prefixed by https:// in the configuration:

When the card machine is online and in Integrated Mode, you should see a green tick box indicating that it's ready to use with Cloud POS:

Note that this tick box is for display only; you cannot tick / untick this box manually to connect or disconnect the card machine from Cloud POS.
