To meet PCI requirements for 24-hour memory reinitialization, all PAX terminals are designed to automatically reboot every 24 hours. While this behavior cannot be disabled, you can configure when the reboot occurs to minimize business disruption.
Reboot Configuration Options
1. Restart After 24 Hours
- The terminal reboots automatically 24 hours after it was last powered on.
- If powered on during business hours (e.g., after a power outage), the terminal will reboot at that time daily, potentially disrupting operations.
2. Scheduled Restart
- The terminal reboots at a fixed, user-defined time each day.
- Default time: 4:00 AM
- Ensure that the terminal’s system time and time zone are correct to ensure accurate scheduling.
