What to do when you encounter 'server not found' on Snappy POS
1. Check Server Power
- Ensure the server (Lenovo Machine has Big Red Sticker on It) is plugged in.
- All power indicator lights should be ON.
- If using a power bar or UPS, verify it’s switched on.
2. Check Router Lights (TP-Link or Other)
- Confirm the TP-Link router is powered on.
- All lights should be green, especially:
-
- Power
- Internet/WAN
- LAN (where server is connected)
- Wi-Fi (for wireless POS)
If lights are off or amber, power cycle the router (unplug for 10 seconds, plug back in).
3. Check Internet Connection
- On the POS device, test the connection by opening any website (e.g., google.com).
- If using Ethernet, check that the cable is securely connected.
4. Check Server Network Status
- Confirm the POS device is on the same local network as the server.
5. Restart Devices
- Restart the POS app, the server device, and if needed, the router.
