NCR Silver Pro Restaurant enables you to quickly determine the connection status of a device through the use of a cloud icon in the POS app. The cloud icon appears on every screen in the POS app. The color of the cloud icon indicates the connection status of the device. When you tap the cloud icon, a connection drop-down menu appears indicating the specific state of the device connection to the Silver host, to Silver Server (if required), and to the credit processor (if you are using integrated credit). Additionally, you can initiate a series of actions from the connection drop-down menu, such as synchronizing data with the Silver host, putting the device in offline mode, or returning the device to online mode.
