Piso WiFi Pause Time - How to Pause and Resume Your Session

Piso WiFi Pause Time freezes your active session so you can pick it up later. You don't lose the time or credits you already paid for. Pause, disconnect, come back - your balance is still there.

To pause, open your browser while connected to the Piso WiFi network and go to `http://10.0.0.0.1` or `http://10.0.0.1`. Look for a Pause or Pause Time button on the portal page. You don't need to log in as admin.

How Piso WiFi Pause Time Works

When you load credits into a Piso WiFi machine, the timer starts as soon as your session begins. Pause Time interrupts that timer. The machine stores your remaining balance and waits for you to come back.

Two things control pause behavior:

• Maximum pause duration - set by the operator in the admin panel. Common limits are 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours.
• Session validity - how long an inactive session is kept before the machine discards it.

Once your pause limit runs out, your session resumes on its own and the countdown continues.

How to Pause Your Piso WiFi Session (Step by Step)

1. Stay connected to the Piso WiFi network on your phone or laptop.
2. Open Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
3. Type `http://10.0.0.0.1` into the address bar. If nothing loads, try `http://10.0.0.1` instead.
4. The Piso WiFi portal or admin page opens. Look for a Pause, Pause Time or Suspend Session button.
5. Tap or click it. Your session is now paused and the timer stops.
6. When you're ready to resume, reconnect to the Piso WiFi network and visit the same address. Your session continues from where you left off.

Seeing a login screen instead of a pause button? Ask the machine operator. Some operators lock the pause function behind the admin password.

Setting Up Pause Time as an Operator

If you own a Piso WiFi machine and want to enable Pause Time for your customers:

1. Log in to your admin panel at `http://10.0.0.0.1` (or 10.0.0.1) with your admin credentials.
2. Navigate to Time Settings, Session Settings or Pause Time - the label varies by firmware.
3. Turn on Pause Time and set the maximum pause duration.
4. Save your changes. Customers can now pause their sessions without contacting you.

A reasonable maximum is 1-2 hours. Setting it too long means customers can basically hold sessions forever, which cuts into your revenue.

When Pause Time Isn't Available

Not every Piso WiFi machine supports Pause Time. Three common reasons:

• Operator turned it off - it's only accessible when the operator enables it in settings.
• Old firmware - some early Piso WiFi firmware versions don't have this feature. The operator needs to update.
• Different machine brand - smaller brands may use custom software that doesn't include a pause function.

If pause isn't available and you need to disconnect, your only option is to let the session expire naturally or talk to the operator.
