  The BBPOS Smart Terminal (WisePOS E) will prioritize an Ethernet connection when possible. Even if previously configured for WiFi, the reader will switch to using an Ethernet connection when connected to the dock with a plugged-in Ethernet cable. If the reader is removed from the dock, it will switch back to the WiFi connection.
