Dejavoo Z11 Wireless Signal Troubleshooting - Solar Faults | terminalfaults.org

Technical Background:

Wireless signal strength is dependent on antenna integrity, cable connection quality, and environmental interference. Signal attenuation can occur due to damaged connectors, loose cables, or external electromagnetic interference (EMI). The Z11 utilizes internal antenna(s) for wireless communication; external factors can impede signal propagation. Verify the Z11's location is optimized for signal strength, and that environmental factors are not impeding performance.

Symptoms:

Observed weak or intermittent wireless signal on the Dejavoo Z11 terminal. Transactions may fail or require multiple attempts due to signal loss.

Possible Causes:

Damaged antenna connector(s) resulting in signal loss.
Loose or corroded antenna cable connection.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electronic devices (e.g., microwave ovens, fluorescent lights, other wireless devices).
Physical obstruction blocking the wireless signal (e.g., metal objects, walls).
Outdated firmware or software on the Dejavoo Z11 terminal.
Incorrect wireless network configuration settings.

Solution:

1

Safe Handling: Unplug the Z11 from the power source.
2

Visually inspect the antenna cable connection at the base of the unit for damage or looseness. Note: Do not attempt to open the device.
3

Check the antenna cable for any visible damage or bends.
4

Ensure the terminal is positioned away from potential sources of EMI, such as other electronic devices.
5

Verify the terminal is not obstructed by metal objects or walls.
6

Check the wireless network configuration settings on the terminal and ensure they are correct. Refer to the Dejavoo Z11 manual for instructions.
7

Check with your network administrator for potential network problems in the area.

Safety Warning:

Do not attempt to open the Dejavoo Z11 terminal, as it contains anti-tamper mechanisms that will permanently disable the device if triggered. Avoid exposure to liquids. Ensure the power cable is not strained or damaged. Static electricity can damage electronic components; ground yourself before handling the device, especially in dry environments. Safe Handling: Unplug the device from the power source before performing any inspection or maintenance.

Prevention:

Regularly inspect antenna cables for damage. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device to prevent overheating. Keep the device clean and free from dust. Position the device away from sources of electromagnetic interference and physical obstructions. Update terminal firmware regularly.

Expert Tip:

If the signal strength is consistently weak, try rotating the terminal slightly to optimize antenna reception. Use a wireless network analyzer app on a smartphone to identify areas of strong and weak signal strength in the vicinity of the terminal. Consider using a directional antenna if the signal is consistently weak in one direction. A firmware update via ethernet cable may resolve underlying driver issues causing radio issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

•What is the optimal range for the Z11's wireless signal?

The optimal range depends on the environment and network configuration. Consult the Dejavoo Z11 documentation for specific details, but generally, a range of 10-20 meters is expected indoors.

•How often should I update the Z11's firmware?

Check for firmware updates regularly, ideally quarterly, or as recommended by Dejavoo. Firmware updates often include fixes for wireless connectivity issues.

•What are the consequences of opening the Z11's casing?

Opening the Z11's casing will trigger the anti-tamper mechanism, rendering the device permanently inoperable and voiding any warranty. Do NOT attempt to open the device.
