Terminal Information

The /info request allows you to confirm or identify terminals with a simple GET request sent to an IP address on your local network. There are multiple use cases for this feature, for example:

  • The EPOS can send to all IP's in the local range, and build an accurate picture of all axept® PRO terminal's on site at that time
  • The EPOS can send to a specific IP to match the IP and Serial Number up, allowing one less step in EPOS configuration
  • The EPOS can use this to periodically monitor the devices on site as a way to maintain the wider estate.
