Touch Screen Assembly – Networking and Adapter ID

Please check the following after installing the new touch screen assembly:

  • Power on the system and verify the green network light is lit at the network connection on the rear of the touch screen.
  • Verify the machine is connected
  • Log in and go to the help tab if there is content, it is “Connected”
  • If not connected, connect a usb keyboard and press the F5 key.
  • If it still not connected a ping command and possibly a tunnel command will need to be performed
  1. Test the Internet Connection to the RIS Network
    • Next, test to see if the machine can reach the RIS network:
              o Type: ping services.retailinkjet.com
    • The response should look like the previous ping result above. As before, if the ping gets no response or times out, this means that the machine is not able to reach the RIS server.
    • To stop the ping, hold CTRL and type C.
  2. CALL RIS Connectivity Engineer
    RIS needs to establish and verify a network connection to the machine. Call RIS tech support: 858-779-9148 opt.3
    • Some commands that might be necessary for this step include:
                 ssh –R xxxxx:0.0.0.0:22 –g risuser@services.retailinkjet.com
    • where ‘xxxxx’ is replaced by a number that RIS will provide. Please do not use this command unless instructed to by a RIS technician.
    • Press and hold the ALT, CTRL, and F7 keys to exit the Linux system display and return to InkCenter main screen.
    • The RIS technician will then upload and install software and make the necessary identity changes to activate the Ink Center online. The Technician will then call you back to request that you reboot the system. After the reboot, the latest software version number will be displayed on the System tab.
      Reboot or power cycle if necessary
    • Verify the network is connected and communicating before putting the back cover back on! Call RIS service support before leaving the site to verify the system is online.
    • Verify all fill adapters have been registered in the fill chamber correctly:
      • Navigate to the Maintenance Tab and select “Identify Adapter”
      • Place each fill adapter in the fill chamber and select the appropriate ID.
        • Be sure to ID each 02 vent cover located in the middle supply drawer.
        • Recheck the adapter to make sure the proper ID was selected.
          If an adapter is incorrectly identified, remember that you can re-ID the adapter.
