I-4500: The power light (red) should be on. Status (green) should be blinking. Warn (yellow) should be off. Link (yellow) should be on or blinking. Signal (green) may vary between one light (0-33%), two lights (34-66%) or all three lights (67-100%).

SL-500: The cell mode lights indicate which frequency of communication is currently being utilized. For a full 4G connection, you should see A, B and C lights all lit up the Systech SL-500 wireless devices. The signal or “Cell Strength” may vary depending on the Verizon signal where the device is deployed.

SL-08-P: The “Cell on” light indicates a wireless connection when steady. The signal lights may vary depending on the Verizon signal where the device is deployed.
For the wireless device to provide primary internet to your machine, you can use any LAN or LAN/WAN port. Any port designated for WAN only (model I-4500) cannot be used. The WAN only port is used so that your wireless device may provide BACKUP internet to a location’s business internet.
The answer is no. Allpoint Command is a free web monitoring portal we built for our customers to ping their devices, check signal, and view up time of their devices. It also allows them to add notes to keep track of their devices. There is no charge for Allpoint Command.

If you use your own RMS (MoniView, GenRMS, or Triton Connect), and have yet been onboarded to allow RMS communication through our wireless network, please reach out to us for instructions.
In the world of wireless, antennas are our lifeline. The antennas must be fastened to the main receptacle first. If, and only if a second antenna is going to be installed, is the aux antenna port utilized. Think of this like the basic circuits we all made in science class, the main is essential to the circuitry, whereas the aux is optional. If the main is not present, the circuit will not be completed.

Furthermore, after installation, it is critical that the antennas are placed outside the ATM or other machine/terminal. The signal is much better outside and as close to the ceiling or “outside world”.

In the event that the signal quality is not ideal within the confines of the terminal, it would be recommended to move the entire modem away from the terminal and run a long Cat5 cable to the terminal for the communication.
The best thing to do would be to plug in the unit and put an antenna on it before deployment. Wait about 5-10 minutes so that the unit can automatically download any updates that have been sent out while it was powered off. If you have a terminal to test with, implement some sort of test connection/transaction. If you don’t have a terminal to test with or the test transaction doesn’t work, give us a call to troubleshoot.
The SL-500 model is an IP-only unit, meaning it has ethernet ports (2) ONLY. The SL-08-P model has two ethernet ports as well, but it ALSO has a phone line port. These ports are to be used to make the connection between the wireless unit and the ATM. If you have legacy machines that are NOT internet-ready, you would need to purchase the SL-08-P model.
We currently offer Verizon 4G LTE and AT&T 4G LTE service. The I-22 can be purchased as single carrier (Verizon or AT&T) or it can also be purchased as “Dual-Carrier”. Dual-carrier comes with an added monthly flat fee for the backup connection - in the event that one carrier fails, it will automatically failover to the other carrier.
The short answer is yes it is possible, but there is potential for data usage overages, which you would be responsible for. In addition, this type of setup may slow down your ATM transactions due to the increased and simultaneous communication attempts.
If you have a unit that is reporting a low signal, first make sure that the antenna is outside of the machine. If it’s still low, add a second antenna on the aux receptacle and make sure both antennas are ran outside of the machine and separated from each other as much as possible. If it’s STILL low and there is not any type of refrigeration near the machine that would cause interference, then a signal booster may be necessary.

The signal booster amplifies the signal to achieve increased gain to overcome the weak signal. It comes with a power cord and a high gain antenna. It must be installed on the main antenna receptacle and a secondary antenna (NOT ANOTHER BOOSTER) can be installed on the Aux receptacle if necessary. The booster is able to increase signal strength by up to 20%.

Always power cycle the unit after you make any changes to the antennas.
First, verify all programming on your end. For ATMs, we provide a Programming Guide that is enclosed in all wireless shipments and is also available on our website. Verify that the wireless unit is receiving power and the Cat5 cable or phone line connecting the wireless unit to the terminal is secure at both ends. Next, you can try to power cycle the wireless unit. Simply unplug the unit and plug it right back in, DO NOT press and hold the Hard Reset button as this will wipe out the configuration of the unit. Wait a few minutes to see if the unit comes online. See section above regarding which LED lights to expect when a successful connection is established. Troubleshoot the signal by moving the antenna towards the ceiling, adding a second antenna or a booster kit if necessary. Always power cycle the unit after you make any changes to the antennas. If it’s still not working, give us a call!

Allpoint Command is a free web monitoring portal we built for our customers to ping their devices, check signal, and view up time of their devices. It also allows them to add notes to keep track of their devices. There is also a geo-location (cell tower triangulation) tool available for any InHand equipment. You can also adjust your monthly payment method for devices, and your monthly invoicing is processed through the portal as well. There is no charge for Allpoint Command.
The Power Cycler is a device that gives you the ability to restart your terminal remotely. If you connect the Power Cycler to your wireless unit (ethernet for Power Cycler, IO Cable for Power Relay) and plug your terminal into the Power Cycler/Power Relay, you can then go to allpointcommand.com and power cycle your terminal with the press of a button! Your wireless unit must be online and you must be able to “Ping” the wireless unit successfully on Allpoint Command in order to successfully utilize the “Restart ATM” function.
The only time you should ever press the “reset” button on any wireless device is if you are specifically instructed to do so by a Wireless ATM Store support technician. Performing a “reset” on your own will not help as it will wipe out the custom configuration of our wireless devices, and in some cases you may void the warranty of the wireless device.
Absolutely! Our wireless devices are able to connect anything in the IoT space – ATMs, credit card readers, digital jukeboxes, digital signage, cryptocurrency kiosks, security cameras, etc. For these types of applications (non-ATM), we offer data plans – Tier 1 grants you up to 3GB per month per device, Tier 2 grants you up to 7GB per month per device, and Tier 3 grants you up to 10GB per month per device. These are merely thresholds that you are agreeing to. The actual price for the data at the end of the month is dictated by the actual data consumption. You only pay for what you use!
Absolutely – The InHand I-4500 and the InHand I-22 can be easily configured so that you can wire your wireless device and terminal in a way that it uses the location’s business internet as primary internet. In the event that the location’s internet goes down, the wireless device will automatically start providing internet to whatever it is connecting. Once the location’s internet is restored, the wireless device will then automatically go back into “backup” mode. Call us for more information!
You do not have to buy the actual device. Every device ships with a preactivated SIM card inside of it, but if you only have a need for SIM cards, they are available for purchase directly through our website. You can use them with your own wireless equipment/embedded modules for any application in the IoT space.
Our system is built on an automatic ACH pull once per cycle, if any or all of the ACHs allocated to your unit(s) is no longer valid, and we receive a return ACH from your bank, you will be subject to a $35.00 bounced ACH fee on top of your invoice amount. Credit Card monthly payments that decline are subject to a late fee of $10.00. Bounced/declined payments may result in immediate suspension of devices/SIM cards at time of processing.
If you are authorized to get a replacement device, you must go to our website to complete the RMA form. We will ship out a replacement via Ground shipping for free, but you can elect to pay for the replacement shipping to be expedited. You are responsible for shipping back the defective unit to us within 2 weeks. If we do not receive the defective device back in a timely manner, you may see both the replacement device and defective device on your monthly invoice.
