PIN pad Reboot Time

The time at which a PIN pad needs to reboot can now be configured through triPOS. This enables merchants to ensure the PIN pad does not reboot during business hours or in the middle of a transaction. The local time should be specified in the 24h HHMM format. The reboot time can be configured at two different levels.

1. Global Reboot Time : Use the default reboot time node in the application section of the triPOS.config to specify the reboot time for all connected PIN pads. If this node is missing or if this is empty, the device will be configured with 0300 as the reboot time. The default reboot time value can also be set using the api/v1/configuration/application endpoint.
2. PIN pad specific reboot time : Use the lane/pinpad/rebootTime node in the lanes section of the triPOS.config to specify the reboot time for that specific PIN pad. If this node is missing or empty, the default reboot time will be configured on the PIN pad.
   • The PIN pad specific reboot time can also be updated using the api/v1/configuration/lanes/ip/{laneID} endpoint for IP lanes and api/v1/configuration/lanes/serial/{laneID} endpoint for serial lanes.
   • When a new value is set through the endpoints, the PIN pad will reboot and the value is set to the PIN pad immediately.

triPOS service needs to be restarted for any changes to the reboot time in the configuration file to be updated on the PIN pad.
