This article explains how to connect the Brau Union Z1 dispenser to the Kassa. Prerequisite: the dispenser must be equipped with the network module and configured with a static IP address.
Prerequisites
-
A static IP from the Kassa network must be set on LAN 6
-
The Brau Union router must be unplugged and disabled for the dispenser
-
The dispenser does not respond to PING — this is mandated by Heineken
-
The manager or technician key must be inserted during the initial connect, otherwise the pairing won't work
-
Dispenser firmware must be at least 1.8.6
In the Kassa Manager, a dispenser must be entered under the Dispensers menu. This entry is only populated if the dispenser module was ordered from us beforehand.
Dispenser items can be added under this entry, with their corresponding dispenser PLUs assigned.
On the Kassa, select the dispenser under Settings > Dispensers.
