Terminal Setup

This page describes step by step how to set up a terminal station for COBI.time.

To set up a terminal station, both hardware and software components are required. The following section provides an overview of the necessary elements.

• Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (10.5-inch total diagonal, 10.1-inch display)
• Wall Mount: Neomounts DS15-630WH1
  • lockable, to prevent tampering or theft
  • provides enough space inside for a USB hub
• USB Hub: used to connect the tablet with external devices
• RFID Reader: connected via the USB hub

• Fully Kiosk Browser (available in the Google Play Store)
• Tablet Configuration:
  • Enable the Screen Pinning feature
  • Example path:

Settings → Security → Other Security Settings → Screen Pinning

This function allows the Fully Kiosk Browser app to remain permanently pinned, preventing end users from accessing other areas of the tablet.

By combining securely mounted hardware, USB expansion, and a locked-down tablet configuration, you can create a robust and tamper-proof terminal station for use with COBI.time.
