Use beacons to have your mobile POS app automatically connect to the nearest terminal.
Our Bluetooth terminals use the iBeacon protocol to advertise their presence to other nearby Bluetooth devices, such as a mobile POS app. You can use the advertised data to make sure that payments initiated from the POS app are always routed to the nearest terminal.
The beacon functionality is not supported for Android terminals and unattended non-Android terminals.The terminal advertises the following values, specified according to the iBeacon protocol:
UUID: a Universally Unique Identifier consisting of 32 hexadecimal digits.
Major: a decimal value between 0 and 65535.
Minor: a decimal value between 0 and 65535.
Cloud-based communication
With cloud-based communication, a payment request is routed to the correct terminal based on the unique terminal ID, the POIID, which you pass in the payment request..
POIID = [Terminal model] - [Serial number], for example P400Plus-324688179.
