Troubleshooting
The Terminal IDs will be reset when clearing data locally at the device or performing an Enterprise Reset remotely.
- If the previous Terminal ID is not available to select, set a random terminal ID, log out, clear the stored login cache, and log back in. The correct terminal ID will be available again.
- If the correct terminal ID is still unavailable, please get in touch with the Corporate team so they can remove it from the assigned terminals in Connect.
- Please know that if an Enterprise reset, Data Clear, or Activate is uninstalled, the Terminal ID will need to be re-implemented.
