Specific Hardware requirements

To ensure seamless functionality with BETA, certain hardware specifications are essential. We highly recommend using the precise models listed for the best performance and support. Carefully review each hardware requirement to avoid compatibility issues, as these specifications ensure BETA runs smoothly across all features.

• EPSON Receipt Printer***:** BETA integrates with the models specified by EPSON for compatibility and reliability, such as the WiFi/Ethernet Epson TM-m10 Thermal Receipt Printer

  • See compatible EPSON receipt printers

  For the full documentation on the Epson Printer integration, see here.

• Cash drawer with compatible receipt printer cable: The cash drawer must be compatible with any receipt printer that you choose. Look for one that has a Standard RJ11 DK (Drawer Kick) port, which is compatible with most EPSON printers. Please check for compatibility. </aside>

Recommended Hardware

These recommendations include brands and products that are compatible with BETA, though alternatives meeting the specifications will work as well. Please check all requirements for compatibility with BETA and feel free to select similar options based on your budget and availability.

• The devices for running BETA. BETA is a web-based software, so it can run on any device with an internet connection. While it’s versatile, a larger screen offers a more comfortable experience for you and your staff. For on-the-go use or navigating the gym floor, we recommend using a medium-sized tablet. Mobile devices might feel a bit cramped, so a tablet strikes a good balance between portability and usability.
• 2D Barcode Scanner for checking in Climbers: At the climber check-in you require a 2D Keyboard-emulating barcode USB reader, as QR codes are generated for climber checkin. We recommend* the Honeywell Orbit HF680 2D or Honeywell Orbit 7190g Hybrid Presentation Scanner.
• Barcode Scanner for use at your POS: Any 1D Keyboard-emulating barcode USB reader will work. We recommend* the Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g General Duty Scanner, as it will allow you to scan both 1D/2D barcordes.
• Webcam for visitor photos: Any USB 720p webcam will work - such as the Logitech* C270 HD WEBCAM
• Card Terminal: For processing payments, you can choose from our integrated payment providers that accept terminal payments.
  • Stripe: Model no. Wise POS-E
  • Clover
  • SumUp
• Internet & WiFI: We highly recommend setting up a dedicated internet connection for your gym or office devices, separating the "public" Wi-Fi from a "private" Wi-Fi or ethernet connection. This helps maintain stability and ensures smooth operations. Sharing the same network with the public can strain bandwidth, especially during peak times, leading to slowdowns when your team needs a reliable connection most.

Additionally, consider having a 4/5G mobile device capable of creating a Wi-Fi hotspot as a fallback option for processing payments and accessing BETA during potential internet outages. BETA’s low data usage makes this an effective solution, but the best setup depends on your specific needs. </aside>
