VECTRON POS MOBILEXL
4.1. MobileXL POS system
The MobileXL POS system is a mobile POS system, which
you can also use without network connection.
The MobileXL POS system consists of a shock- and splashproof magnesium housing.
Via the touch screen you enter data like bookings with your
finger or the touch pen. The display is readable even in
direct sunlight.
The MobileXL POS system transfers the entered data per
Wireless LAN. It supports the WEP safety standard for data
encryption. Via the wireless network connection you can
update the Vectron POS software or read out booking data.
The MobileXL POS system can connect to several Access
Points. It independently selects the Access Point with the
strongest radio signal. Thanks to this function, a large
reception- and transmission area can be covered. Your
Vectron dealer can check for you whether the MobileXL
POS system can be integrated to an existing Wireless LAN.
22
The MobileXL POS system has installed two WiFi antennas
to guarantee the best possible reception.
Bluetooth allows wireless connection of devices to the
MobileXL POS system via short distances, eg connection of
mobile printers.
The MobileXL POS system provides a SIM card slot. Your
Vectron dealer can insert a SIM card to the slot, eg for
encrypting data of a future fiscal memory.
A sensor recognizes when you tilt the MobileXL POS system. Your Vectron dealer can configure the MobileXL POS
system for you so that the screen content is tilted by 180
degrees, for showing a customer his order or invoice for
example. Furthermore you can program the POS system so
that is switched to quiescent state in a defined position.
The MobileXL POS system has an integrated loudspeaker.
It can inform you about system messages by means of
sounds. Please ask your Vectron dealer to configure the
sounds for you.
Your Vectron dealer can configure the MobileXL POS system so that the integrated vibration function informs you
about incoming messages that were sent by eg a ServiceCall.
Shipment of the MobileXL POS system includes a battery
B40. The lithium ion accumulator provides energy for
approx. four hours, depending on ambient conditions and
usage. The service life depends for instance on whether
Wireless LAN and screen are switched on and whether the
power save function is programmed. The battery can be
exchanged within short time.
EN
The MobileXL POS system has a cache and a flash memory.
In case of power failure, the cache, where data is stored
during operation of the MobileXL, is supplied with power by
means of a buffer battery. After switching off the MobileXL
data is stored in the flash memory.
The MobileXL POS system has a power save function with
which you can switch off components. Thanks to the lower
energy consumption you can prolong the service life of the
MobileXL POS system depending on ambient conditions
and usage.
23
VECTRON POS MOBILEXL
The MobileXL POS system can optionally be equipped with
a transponder. You can use an RFID card eg for log in to
the POS system. Likewise, you can use the transponder for
loyalty programs. The optional transponder uses the TAG-It
HF-I plus standard with 13, 56 MHz.
Your Vectron dealer should have configured and programmed the MobileXL according to your requests.
4.2. Vectron POS software
The MobileXL POS system is supplied with Vectron POS
software, which your Vectron dealer configured and programmed.
All Vectron POS systems use the same software. The GUI
can be adjusted individually to the different screen sizes of
the stationary and mobile POS systems.
The functions that can be used with the installed Vectron
POS software depend on the applied software version, configuration and programming of the MobileXL POS system.
24
4.3. MobileXL charging- and docking station
The MobileXL charging- and docking station serves for
charging B40 batteries and for connecting peripherals like
eg printers, customer displays and cash drawers to the
MobileXL POS system.
You can charge up to three B40 batteries simultaneously in
the MobileXL charging- and docking station: two batteries
in the compartments of charging- and docking station and
one more, if it is inserted in the MobileXL POS system and
the POS system is put in the charging- and docking station.
You can use the MobileXL POS system in the charging- and
docking station during the charging process.
It takes about four hours to charge a discharged battery
in the MobileXL charging- and docking station. The charging- and docking station requires more time to charge the
battery inserted in the MobileXL POS system when the POS
system is switched on. The indicator lamps of MobileXL
POS system and the charge indicator at the battery compartments tell you whether the inserted B40 batteries are
charged or being charged.
To the two USB- and four serial ports at the rear of MobileXL charging- and docking station you can connect
external devices like eg printers, customer displays and
scanners. At the front of MobileXL charging- and docking station you find another USB-port for connecting eg a
USB-stick or a USB-keyboard.
EN
Your Vectron dealer can integrate the MobileXL into a POS
system network via a network port at the charging- and
docking station. The MobileXL POS system can receive
data via the network and send data to other POS systems
when it is inserted in the charging- and docking station.
25
VECTRON POS MOBILEXL
The MobileXL charging- and docking station has a port to
which you can connect the cash drawers. Using a Y-cable
you can connect up to two cash drawers.
The Kensington-port serves for connecting an anti-theft
device, protecting the MobileXL charging- and docking station against theft by means of a lock and a wire rope.
An operator lock is mounted to the housing of the MobileXL POS system. With the suitable operator key you can
log in to the MobileXL POS system when it is inserted in
the MobileXL charging- and docking station. Your Vectron
dealer should have configured the operator lock system for
you.
26
4.4. Use as directed
The MobileXL POS system may be used as hybrid POS system. The MobileXL charging- and docking station may be
used for charging B40 batteries, for connecting approved
external devices and in connection with the MobileXL POS
system as stationary POS system.
Use the supplied cable with safety plug to connect the
MobileXL charging- and docking station and power supply
Vectron PS30 to a grounded socket. Using other power
supplies and cables is not as directed. The power supply
network must be protected with a residual current device.
MobileXL POS system, MobileXL charging- and docking station, power supply Vectron PS30 and battery B40 must not
be opened. POS system, charging- and docking station and
their accessories must not be modified.
The operating company of MobileXL is responsible for
storage and backup of data created with the MobileXL. The
data is to be processed and stored in such a way that they
comply with eg the demands of fiscal authorities.
Depending on configuration and programming of the
Vectron POS software, operators can modify the stored
data, configuration and programming of the MobileXL, for
instance the PLU- or rights table for operators. Furthermore, operators can carry out functions like void if these
are enabled in the rights management of the POS system.
27
EN
VECTRON POS MOBILEXL
You should protect yourself against undesired changes of
the above mentioned parts of programming. This can be
achieved by using operator keys, RFID cards and passwords. Each operator should be assigned his required
authorization in the rights table of the POS system. Operator keys and RFID cards, which enable these rights, must
exclusively be accessible to the respective operators. The
passwords must exclusively be known by the respective
operators.
Operator rights must be assigned thoroughly, since operators - depending on their rights - can change or delete
data, configuration and programming. These changes can
cause you financial damage or lead to penal consequences,
for instance if the stored data does no longer comply with
demands of the fiscal authorities.
The operating company of MobileXL is responsible for assigning the operator rights. Prior to starting, your Vectron
dealer should draw up a concept for the assignment of operator rights together with you. Each operator of MobileXL
should exclusively be granted the rights he requires.
28
Your Vectron dealer is responsible for programming and
configuration of the MobileXL. Vectron advises you not to
modify the programming and configuration yourself.

6.3. Installing a network
Via a network the MobileXL POS system can send data to
or receive data from other POS systems.
The MobileXL POS system has a WiFi module and the MobileXL charging- and docking station has a network port for
integrating the POS system to a network.
The MobileXL POS system can be configured and programmed to allow wired data transfer via the network port.
For this purpose the MobileXL POS system has to be inserted in the MobileXL charging- and docking station. Furthermore, The MobileXL POS system can be configured and
programmed so that the Wireless LAN is enabled and data
is transferred wirelessly when the MobileXL POS system is
removed from the MobileXL charging- and docking station.
If no wired network is available you can configure and program the MobileXL POS system in a way that the Wireless
LAN remains enabled when the MobileXL POS system is
inserted to the MobileXL charging- and docking station.
WiFi module of the MobileXL POS system and wired network port of the MobileXL charging- and docking station
are each assigned an unambiguous MAC-address (MediaAccess-Control-Address) . MAC-addresses identify network
devices unambiguously in a network.
You can insert different MobileXL POS systems to a MobileXL charging- and docking station. Furthermore, you
can insert a MobileXL POS system to different MobileXL
charging- and docking stations. The devices that send data
in the network can be identified unambiguously via the
MAC-address and the IP-address of the POS system.
Please contact your Vectron dealer if you want him to integrate MobileXL POS system and MobileXL charging- and
docking station in a network.
6.3.1. Installing a wired network
EN
Your Vectron dealer can install the wired network for you.
Read the following hints and contact your Vectron dealer
in case of questions and requirements concerning installation, programming and configuration.
A network cable is connected to the network port of
the MobileXL charging- and docking station. A router or
network socket has to be available near the MobileXL
charging- and docking station in order to connect it to a
network.
69
VECTRON POS MOBILEXL
6.3.2. Installing a wireless network
Your Vectron dealer can install the wireless network for
you. Read the following hints and contact your Vectron
dealer in case of questions and requirements concerning
installation, programming and configuration.
The MobileXL POS system can connect to wireless networks in infrastructure mode and in ad hoc mode. In infrastructure mode an access point has to be available and
configured in order to use a wireless network. The access
point rules the communication between devices in wireless
networks. In ad hoc mode the MobileXL POS system establishes a direct connection to a device like eg a printer. To
this printer you have to connect a WiFi module, which you
can purchase as accessory.

• The access point antenna, to which the MobileXL POS
system sends data, should be mounted at least two
metres above ground to guarantee that the radio signal
between MobileXL POS system and access point is of
good quality.
• The access point antenna must be adjusted in such a
way that the access point can receive radio signals of
the MobileXL POS system from the complete radius of
the operator.
• The performance of the wireless network, e.g. the range
of the radio signal, depends on the applied access point
and on obstacles. Obstacles like for instance trees, walls
and people, which stand between the antenna of the MobileXL POS system and the access point antenna, reduce
the range.
• The network name, the so-called SSID of the access
point, must not be covered, since otherwise the MobileXL POS system cannot establish communication to the
access point.
• All POS systems in a network must have installed the
same Vectron POS software version.
6.4. Installing Bluetooth
Bluetooth serves e.g. for wireless connection of MobileXL
POS system and printers.
Your Vectron dealer can install Bluetooth for you. Read the
following hints and contact your Vectron dealer in case of
questions and requirements concerning installation, programming and configuration.
The performance of Bluetooth, e.g. the range of the radio
signal, depends on the applied Bluetooth receiver and on
obstacles. Obstacles like for instance trees, walls and people, which stand between the MobileXL antennas and the
antenna of the Bluetooth receiver, reduce the range.

7.4. Charging the B40 battery
The MobileXL POS system displays the message “Charge
battery!“ when the total charge of B40 batteries inserted
in the MobileXL POS system is seven percent. You should
charge the battery when this message appears on the display. The MobileXL POS system will be switched off if you
ignore the message.
• Charge the B40 battery as described in chapter 6.2.1
“Inserting B40 batteries to the MobileXL charging- and
docking station and charging” on page 61 or in chapter 6.2.3 “Inserting MobileXL POS system to MobileXL
charging- and docking station and charging B40 battery” on page 66 .
The charging capacity of the B40
battery is reduced with each charging
cycle because the battery cells wear
out. This reduces the time during which
i
you can use the MobileXL POS system.
The battery has to be charged in shorter
intervals.
78
i
i
After approx. 32 charging cycles a
B40 battery is re-calibrated. This
means that the battery is first
discharged completely and then
charged again. This re-calibration
prolongs the battery life. A battery
re-calibration takes 10 to 17 hours.
During this process the battery should
not be removed from the MobileXL
charging- and docking station.
Always charge and discharge the
B40 battery completely to preserve
the charging capacity for as long as
possible.
i
Exchange the B40 battery by a new
one if the intervals required between
charging become too short.

Depending on the programming of your MobileXL you have
to sign in to the POS system. Only then you can enter PLUs
for example.
The Vectron POS software stores the entries and assigns
them to the respective operator. You can assign access
rights for every operator, which determine the functions
for which he is authorized.
There are different ways for sign in to the MobileXL POS
system. If you have an operator key that you want to use
for sign in please continue reading in chapter 7.7.2 “Sign
in via operator key” on page 88 . If you do not have an
operator key, please continue in chapter 7.7.1 “Sign in via
operator button” on page 88 . The MobileXL POS system
may be programmed in that way that you can use both
methods for sign in.
EN
Optionally you can use an RFID card for sign in and out to
the MobileXL POS system. You Vectron dealer can install
the required transponder in your POS system. Please
contact your Vectron dealer if you want him to install the
transponder and to configure and program the POS system
for operator sign in by RFID card.

This chapter informs you about an operator lock system,
how it works and what you have to consider when using the
operator lock system.
Your MobileXL is delivered with an operator lock system. It
consists of two elements: the operator lock, referred to as
lock in the following, and the operator key, referred to as
key in the following.
The lock is mounted to your MobileXL. Your Vectron dealer
should have handed over the ordered keys on delivery
For the MobileXL charging- and docking station you can order three operator lock systems, one of which is mounted
to your MobileXL charging- and docking station. Standard
is the Dallas iButton.

Each operator has assigned rights in the POS system. This
means that you are for example allowed to void PLUs and
to open the guest checks of other operators. The rights are
stored in tables. These tables will be called rights tables in
the following. Your rights, too, are stored in rights tables.
Your key has an unambiguous number. This number is
stored in the rights table. This assignment helps Vectron
POS software recognize who signs in to the POS system.
EN
If you approach the key to the lock, the number is transferred from the key to the POS system. The rights that
are stored for you in the rights table are enabled. You can
work with the POS system.

7.10. Working with hold buffers
This chapter informs you about the hold buffer function.
Whether or not you can use this function depends on programming and configuration of your MobileXL.
The hold buffer function serves for separate storage of
bookings made by several operators. This function is useful
for example in a bakery, if only one POS system is available
for several users. Another scenario would be the supermarket, where a customer forgot his purse in the car. The
already booked PLUs are stored in a hold buffer so that
other customers can be served until the first returns with
his money.
Hold buffers allow several operators simultaneously to
work at one POS system. The first operator opens a hold
buffer by pressing the respective button. He then signs in
and enters the PLUs. The operator has not yet finalized the
booking. If now a second operator wants to use the POS
system, he presses another hold buffer button, signs in and
enters the PLUs. Both operators can change between these
hold buffers. The operators’ entries remain in the respective hold buffer until media finalization.
98
Your Vectron dealer can program and configure the
number of hold buffers and operators according to your
requests.
7.11. Working with reports
This chapter informs you about the report function. Whether or not you can use this function depends on programming and configuration of your MobileXL POS system.
In reports you can evaluate data that was stored in the
POS system. The Vectron POS software provides several
standard reports. You can display and print PLU- and operator reports for example. A PLU report can contain e.g.
PLU numbers, PLU names, the number of sold PLUs, the
sales per PLU and the total sales. An operator report can
contain e.g. the proceeds of the operators and the sales
per customer.
You can create two types or reports with Vectron POS
software: X-reports and Z-reports. X-reports are intermediate reports, where the data is not deleted from the booking memory. Z-reports are final reports, where the data is
deleted from the booking memory.
Your Vectron dealer can program and configure reports
according to your requests.

7.12. Void and Correction
This chapter informs you about the void function. Whether
or not you can use this function depends on programming
and configuration of your MobileXL.
You can cancel bookings if for instance an operator made
false entries. Furthermore, you can program and configure
the MobileXL so that PLUs are cancelled and the respective
invoice is corrected, if a customer returns items.
7.1 3 . Using a wireless network for data transfer
This chapter tells you how to use the wireless network for
data transfer.
Prerequisite for using a wireless network is that it was installed as described in chapter 6.3.2 “Installing a wireless
network” on page 70 .
100
Functions like eg calling a GC possibly only work if radio
communication between MobileXL POS system and an
access point is established. This depends on the programming of your MobileXL POS system, for instance if GCs are
stored on a GC server.
If radio communication between MobileXL POS system and
the access point is interrupted, it is automatically re-established when the radio signal is available again. Data stored
on the MobileXL POS system is transferred then.
