Beyond the devices

Ready for the first visitor.

Work through these practical details for each entrance before rollout.

Connectivity at the entrance

Check the connection where the tablet and printer will actually sit. Confirm the printer’s connection method as part of your setup.

Power within reach

Plan power for the tablet, printer and network equipment, with cables kept clear of visitors. Include these devices in your site’s power-continuity plan.

A clear place to arrive

Position the tablet where guests can find and use it. Allow space to collect a badge, and keep reception assistance easy to reach.

A complete trial visit

Before opening the desk, test check-in, photo capture if used, host approval, badge printing, and sign-out with your chosen devices.
