1. What are the network requirements for the OPUL device?
The OPUL device is compatible with WPA-WPA2 protocols, and are not compatible with WEP protocols. If you're having difficulty connecting your OPUL device to the internet, follow these best practices:
- Use your own Internet Service Provider (ISP), and avoid using a shared network.
- Wi-Fi must be protected by a password - the OPUL device will not operate on an open Wi-Fi network.
- Increase bandwidth by minimizing high-traffic activity on your local network, such as streaming music or videos.
- If you are having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, reduce the number of devices connected to the Wi-Fi to reduce bandwidth and allow your device to connect.
- Limit the use of hotspot network connections because they can limit the bandwidth required for normal Clover communication.
If you're still having trouble connecting your OPUL device, contact our Customer Support team using the In-App Chat widget located inside of OPUL, or by calling (925)678-5377.
2. Should I use a wired or wireless network?
The OPUL device can connect to your network using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. It is recommended that you connect the device to both in case one loses connection in your office. Included in your OPUL device shipment is a 7ft Ethernet cable that can be used to connect your device to ensure seamless connectivity.
3. How do I process a refund or void?
- Ensure that your OPUL device is on and connected to the internet
- Locate the credit card transaction you wish to refund or void by logging into OPUL
- Select refund and complete the steps requested on screen
