LS Central App is a web view app for the LS Central Web POS. The app shell allows the Web POS to be used on mobile devices, connected to peripherals via Bluetooth or WiFi.
The LS Central Hardware Station (referred to as HWS from now on) runs only on Windows. This means that the Web POS, when running on Android/iOS, has to connect to a HWS running on a Windows machine. With the LS Central App, the Web POS can also connect to peripherals through the LS Central App's own HWS.
App icons
Two app icons let you enter the Settings part of LS Central App, as well as go straight to the Web POS.
Platforms
The LS Central App is available on Android and iOS. Connection to peripherals, however, is currently only available on Android (iOS is only basic web view rendering).
Android settings
To open the LS Central App settings, tap the Settings icon. There are two tabs available on the screen, General and Devices.
General
The LS Central Web POS URL is entered with authentication information. All fields are automatically saved when their values change.
The server URL is a direct URL to the LS Central Web POS, which is on page 99008880, for example:
http://ComputerName:Port/WebServerInstance/tablet.apsx?page=99008880
Example:
http://MyNav:8080/DynamicsNav110/tablet.aspx?page=99008880
For more details see How to: Open the MicrosoftDynamics Business Central Web Client.
POS profile
We recommend that you set up an LS Central profile for POS users that will run LS Central POS and have the Role Center ID page set to 99008880. This will ensure that the users always start on the POS login page when they start LS Central or log off the POS.
If an LS Central profile has been configured for the LS Central user who is going to run the LS Central App, the Server URL can be minimized to:
http://ComputerName:Port/WebServerInstance/tablet.aspx
Example:
http://MyNav:8080/DynamicsNav110/tablet.aspx
Note: It is good practice to verify that the URL is correct by first trying it directly from a web browser.
When the server URL has been entered to the LS Central App, simply tap RUN POS to open the Web POS. It is not necessary, however, to go through the Settings screen to run the Web POS. Once the settings have been filled out correctly, the user can leave the Settings screen and instead tap the LS Central App icon from the Android app list to open the LS Central Web POS.
Devices
The Devices tab is for peripheral settings, for PEDs and printers.
Selecting the Demo PED will register Mock from LS Pay as payment device, and Demo printer will print the receipt on screen as an alert.
Log
You can access the Log screen by tapping the three-dot icon in the right corner of the Settings screen.
Note: Should you require support, please submit the log files with your support request.
The Log screen has two tabs, App and External Accessory.
The App tab shows all logs from the LS Central App, while the External Accessory tab shows the logs from LS Pay.
Tapping INFO, next to the three dots, lets you filter the logs by their log level.
The three dots on the Log screen provide the option of sending the logs via email.
