Installing the cloud terminal

The terminal can only be installed manually via installation packages. Installation packages are available in the Dispatcher Paragon Cloud Web UI in the Installation files section.

To install the terminal, perform the following steps:

1. Log into the MFD UI and go to System Settings > Sharp OSA Settings.
2. In Embedded Application Settings, tap Add.
   

   

3. Tap Browse and select the SafeqCloudAuth.emo package and SafeqCloudTerminal.emo.
4. Tap Execute.
   

   

5. In External Accounting Application Settings, select Enable and assign the SafeqCloudAuth embedded application as Server 1. Disable servers 2-4.
   

   

6. Tap Submit.
7. Reboot the MFD.

Configuring the Terminal settings

1. Have your Dispatcher Paragon Cloud domain at hand. You can find it in Dispatcher Paragon Cloud Web UI in the Customer information section.
2. If you haven't done so already, create an API key of the Embedded type. See API access keys.
3. After rebooting the MFD, you will be presented with the Not configured screen. Tap Configure.
   

   

4. Admin login screen appears. Terminal admin default password is 'Sharp123'.
   

   

5. Enter your Dispatcher Paragon Cloud domain and API key. You can verify the domain by tapping Test connection.
6. In Log level, you can choose four levels of log details (Debug, Info, Warning, Error). We recommend the default level - Info. The Debug level will give Konica Minolta more information for troubleshooting but may slow down the terminal.
   

   

7. In the Terminal admin password field, you can set the password that will be used when accessing device logs and the application settings . If left empty, the default password "Sharp123" will be used instead. For security reasons, we recommend filling in the field. 
   

   

8. Tap Save.

Registering the cloud terminal in Dispatcher Paragon Cloud Web UI

1. Upon installing the terminal, you will see a screen with the Serial Number of the device (prefixed with sh_). Note down the ID number.
   

   

   
   
2. In Dispatcher Paragon Cloud web UI, go to Security > Endpoints and find the entry with ID number that you noted in the previous step. Select the entry and click Authorize selected.
   

   

   
   
3. Back at the MFD, you will see the following screen:
