Axium devices ship ready to accept payments with all required firmware and applications pre-installed. This page covers the Device Setup app flow the expected first-boot user journey plus the pre-installed apps reference and manual reconfiguration steps for changing Wi-Fi or Bluetooth pairing later.

First-Boot Setup via the Device Setup App

When the Axium is first powered on, the Device Setup app launches automatically and walks the merchant through three steps:

Step 1 Wi-Fi setup

1. The app displays a list of available Wi-Fi networks.
2. The merchant selects the network and enters its password.
3. Once connected, the Axium automatically reconnects to this network on subsequent power-ons.

Step 2 Bluetooth setup

This step pairs the Axium with the mobile device hosting your integrating application.

On the mobile device hosting your application:

1. Open Settings Connected devices Pair new device.
2. Ensure the mobile device is visible and in pairing mode.

On the Axium:

1. The app scans for and displays available Bluetooth devices.
2. The merchant selects the mobile device from the list.
3. Both screens display matching pairing codes the merchant taps Pair on each.

Once paired, the devices automatically reconnect when Bluetooth is enabled on both.

Step 3 Register and install

The app automatically registers the Axium with NMI and installs any required software. No user input is required during this step. Once complete, the Axium is ready to process payments and the SDK can discover it via getAvailablePinPads().

Bluetooth device name

When the TransactionInitiatorUI application is first installed on an Axium device, it sets the Bluetooth name of the device to the following format:
