7.4 Setup in Sonic Control
7.4.1 Network Setup
In the event that the Applanix IP address is lost and no connection can be made through POSView it
can be reset through the R2Sonic GUI. To change the IP address of the POS/MV, reboot the SIM box,
open the R2Sonic GUI and go to Settings>Network Settings and under “INS IP” enter the desired IP.
The POS/MV takes approximately 2 minutes to power on, once the POS is fully booted, the IP can be
set in the R2Sonic GUI. Once the POS is fully booted the user has 5 minutes to change the IP address
of the POS/MV. Attempting to change the IP address, outside of the 5 minute window, will result in
a warning that the SIM box must be rebooted before changing the INS IP.

address. The actual time depends on when the GUI starts

changed. Button text turns from greyed out to black text
and says "Set IP".
After 7 min: INS won't accept change in IP address.
