• A minimum speed of 1 Mbps upload and 2 Mbps download
  
  
• Firewall exceptions to allow both inbound and outbound connections

ReadyTouch Network Configuration

All new ReadyTouch POS have a Meraki VPN router. This can be either the Meraki Z1 or Meraki Z3 router.

Contact your local network administrator or 365's Support department at 888-365-6282 or
support@365smartshop.com with any questions related network configuration.

Meraki Routers (VPN)

Typically, all newer ReadyTouch devices have a Meraki Z3 router. There will also be the prior model, the Meraki Z1, in the field on older ReadyTouch devices. Both Meraki router models facilitate a VPN connection.

The Meraki router creates a secure network connection between the devices plugged into the router and the 365 server. This connection is called a “VPN tunnel” (Virtual Private Network) and uses a communication protocol called IPsec with IKE in order to create a private connection over public data pathways. The data is encrypted with two complex ciphers known as AES and 3DES.
