Remote configuration and diagnostics

Purpose

1. The automation of remote configuration and diagnostics on payment terminals remotely delivers automated setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, software/firmware updates, and performance checks to streamline terminal operations and ensure compliance without on-site intervention.

2. Automating this process reduces manual effort, minimizes downtime, supports remote monitoring, and automates resolving technical issues, optimizing deployment, and improving consistency in payment environments across locations and client sites.

Trigger Conditions

1. Device onboarding or initial terminal deployment.

2. Scheduled or threshold-based health check events.

3. User-initiated remote diagnostics or support tickets.

4. Software/firmware update availability triggers.

5. Detected errors or anomaly patterns via automated monitoring tools.
