FocusON POS Setup via Focus Office

For FocusON Setup using Store-Level Focus POS, click here

Focus Office is a perfect tool for configuring FocusON. Similar to the store-level configuration, you'll need to configure a Mobile Station and FocusON payment. Below are the details

FocusON Connectivity Setup

1. Log into Focus Office for your restaurant via https://office.focuspos.com
2. Enter your username and password.
   1. If you are unsure of your username or password, please contact your Focus support resource. If you are a Focus CA customer, click here
3. Access the System Setting section by clicking on the gear icon 
   
4. Locate the MOBILE STATION field and select the station which you want to handle communication with FocusLink
   1. This is the station that will handle communication between FocusLink and the Focus POS Software.
   2. We recommend that you specify the FOCUS computer, as it is able to interact with the FocusLink app faster than any other satellite station
   3. NOTE: The station selected MUST be running the full Focus POS Software. It cannot be running Focus via the /setup or -setup command line switch.
   4. At this time, you cannot specify a Mobile Location, however that may change in due time. Check back on this Article for updates.
      
5. After you change your MOBILE STATION you will be prompted to VIEW CHANGES
   
6. Review your changes and add them to a collection
   
7. The next step will be to configure your FocusON Payment, so don't Publish your Collection just yet.
