[Point of Sale (POS)](https://help.upperhand.com/point-of-sale-pos?hsLang=en) # M450 User Manual ## In this article, learn some general instructions on how to set up your M450 terminal APPLIES TO:  Admins Last Updated: October 26, 2026   ### **M450 User Manual** #### **Supplied components** - M450 payment terminal - Region-specific power plug or PoE dongle for charging - Accessories depending on the package that you ordered: cube Ethernet dongle, PoE splitter dongle, cable, or gigabit switch dongle   #### **Get started** These are the steps to get your new M450 payment terminal up and running. Some steps include a link to more detailed instructions. 1. Inspect the terminal (See Below). 2. Turn on the terminal: connect the terminal to a power supply, then press and hold the power button until the display turns on. Let the battery charge for at least four hours while you continue with the next steps. 3. On the **Welcome** screen, select your language. 4. Connect the terminal to your network (See Below). 5. On the **Confirm store** screen, assign the terminal to your store by selecting the check mark button. If the store shown is not your store, use the edit button to change it. #### **Inspect the terminal** Because payment terminals process sensitive card data, you must verify that the terminal you received is the correct one, supplied by Adyen, and has not been tampered with. 1. Verify that the shipping box containing the terminal has not been opened and that the tamper-evident security packing tape is intact. 2. If you have access to the Adyen [Customer Area](https://ca-live.adyen.com/), log in and under **Devices** \> **Orders & returns** find the order for your terminal. Then: - Verify that the **serial number** (S/N) on the box is the same as in the Customer Area. - Using the **track & trace** link, track the order with the carrier to verify that they confirm having delivered the payment terminal. 3. Open the box, take the terminal out of the box, and verify that the **serial number** (S/N) on the terminal is the same as the serial number on the box. 4. Inspect the terminal for tampering. Check for missing screws, additional wires or labels, holes in the device, and anything inserted in or attached to any part of the terminal.   #### **Connect to your network** Connect your terminal to the internet so that it can communicate with the Adyen payments platform and your own back-end systems. Follow the instructions for the network connection you want to use: either [Ethernet](https://docs.adyen.com/point-of-sale/user-manuals/m450-user-manual#connect-wired) or [Wi-Fi](https://docs.adyen.com/point-of-sale/user-manuals/m450-user-manual#connect-wi-fi). #### **Connect to Ethernet LAN** Depending on your setup, use a cube Ethernet dongle, a gigabit switch dongle, or a PoE splitter dongle. 1. Connect the power cable to the accessory and to a power source. PoE splitter dongle: not applicable. Power is delivered through the Ethernet cable. 2. Connect the accessory to the terminal. For the gigabit switch and PoE splitter dongle, use the included cable. 3. Connect your LAN's Ethernet cable to the accessory. #### **Connect to Wi-Fi** 1. After selecting your language on the **Welcome** screen, select the arrow button: ![](https://docs.adyen.com/media/68bf91d26c813b550c90d41da6e7869e9a420d3044e9d58b9a0ded1152fbd33d.svg?decoding=auto&fetchpriority=auto) 2. On the **Setup Wi-Fi** screen, select the **+** sign. 3. Turn on the **WLAN** toggle switch. 4.
