24-Hour Restart
As part of PCI PTS4 requirement, the terminal is forced to restart at least once for
every 24 hours.
• Every restart of e355 initializes the memory and checks the integrity and
authenticity of software.
• Power-up/restart renews the 24 hour timer.
• OS will automatically restart e355 when not restarted in last 24 hours.
• Predefined time can be specified for 24 hour restart using configuration
variable *SYSCHK=hhmm (hh-hours 00-23, mm-minutes 00-59).
• Control command G60 can be used to set *SYSCHK value.
• The read_ticks() API is useful in checking for elapsed time since last restart.
• Control command G59 can be used to get the return value of read_ticks()
API.
