2.7 Terminal Maintenance
In order to keep your terminal’s software up to date the bank will automatically
download any updates to your terminal on a regular basis (usually monthly). It is
important that you allow the downloads to be completed so that your terminal will
always have the latest configuration and software available.
Generally this download will occur overnight and will take approximately one to
two minutes, however on occasion this can be up to 10 to 15 minutes. To allow this
download to occur your terminal will need to be kept switched on and be able to
communicate with the bank.
If your terminal is unable to connect to the banks system at its scheduled time it will try
at a later stage. The terminal will alert you to the download and allow you to “defer” the
download if you have customers present.
The deferral is provided in order to allow you to find a convenient time to complete the
download, however failure to complete the download may result in the terminal not
operating to its full capability.
