The Secure Payment application's payment module allows you to restart the terminal at a specified time, if desired. Restarting the terminal can help with performance by clearing any processes that might be running in the background at the same time as the application. By default, this function is disabled.
TIP: The automatic terminal reboot function is best paired with the automatic start feature. Refer to the Auto Start Secure Payment procedure for more information.
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.
Scroll to the Configure application section.
Touch Terminal options.
Scroll to the Administration section.
Enable the automatic reboot of the payment terminal by toggling the Terminal reboot switch to the right.
Disable the automatic reboot of the payment terminal by toggling the Terminal reboot switch to the left.
Refer to the Terminal Reboot Time procedure to set the time when your payment terminal reboots.
If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 8 for each additional terminal where you to set the terminal reboot status.
If you enable the terminal reboot function, you can set a specific time when the terminal reboot occurs. By default, the terminal reboot time is 1:00 AM, eastern time.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that you do not set the automatic terminal reboot to occur at the same time as the Automatic Report Printing function. The automatic reboot should be 15-30 minutes before or after the automatic report printing to avoid having the reboot prevent printing the report(s).
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.
Scroll to the Configure application section.
Touch Terminal options.
Scroll to the Administration section.
Touch Reboot time.
NOTE: Be aware that the time you select is set to the eastern time zone. If you operate in a different time zone, adjust the reboot time (as needed) to correspond with your time zone.
Set the hour and minute at which you want the terminal to reboot automatically.
NOTE: When entering the time, please make sure to use a 24 hour (military) time value for the Hour field. There is no AM or PM selection.
Touch the Confirm button.
If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 8 for each additional terminal where you have enabled the automatic terminal reboot and need to set the reboot time.
