StatisticFirmwareRevision

Holds the programmatic name of the Firmware Revision common statistic.

StatisticHoursPoweredCount

Holds the programmatic name of the Hours Powered On common statistic.

StatisticInstallationDate

Holds the programmatic name of the Installation Date common statistic.

StatisticInterface

Holds the programmatic name of the Interface common statistic.

StatisticManufactureDate

Holds the programmatic name of the Manufacture Date common statistic.

StatisticManufacturerName

Holds the programmatic name of the Manufacturer Name common statistic.

StatisticMechanicalRevision

Holds the programmatic name of the Mechanical Revision common statistic.

StatisticModelName

Holds the programmatic name of the Model Name common statistic.

StatisticSerialNumber

Holds the programmatic name of the Serial Number common statistic.

StatisticUnifiedPOSVersion

Holds the programmatic name of the Unified POS Version common statistic.

StatusPowerOff

Indicates that the device’s power is turned off or it is detached from the terminal.

StatusPowerOffline

Indicates that the device is powered on but is either not ready or unable to respond to requests.

StatusPowerOffOffline

Indicates that either the device’s power is off or it is offline.

StatusPowerOnline

Indicates that the device’s power is turned on and it is ready for use.

StatusUpdateFirmwareComplete

Indicates the update firmware process has completed successfully.

StatusUpdateFirmwareCompleteDeviceNotRestored

Indicates the update firmware process succeeded. However, the Service Object and/or the physical device cannot be returned to the state they were in before the update firmware process started.

StatusUpdateFirmwareFailedDeviceNeedsFirmware

Indicates the update firmware process failed. The device will not be operational until another attempt to update the firmware is successful.

StatusUpdateFirmwareFailedDeviceOk

Indicates the update firmware process failed. However, the device is still operational.

StatusUpdateFirmwareFailedDeviceUnknown

Indicates the update firmware process failed. The device is in an indeterminate state.

StatusUpdateFirmwareFailedDeviceUnrecoverable

Indicates the update firmware process failed. The device is either unusable or unrecoverable through software.

StatusUpdateFirmwareProgress

Indicates the update firmware process has completed 1 to 100 percent successfully.

WaitForever

Used as the value for a timeout parameter in common and device-specific methods to indicate the method should wait until it receives a response, instead of timing out.

Properties

CapCompareFirmwareVersion

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the Service Object/device supports comparing the firmware version in the physical device against that of a firmware file.

CapPowerReporting

Gets the power reporting capabilities of the device.

CapStatisticsReporting

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the device can accumulate and can provide various statistics regarding usage.

CapUpdateFirmware

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the device's firmware can be updated through the UpdateFirmware method.

CapUpdateStatistics

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether some or all the device statistics can be reset to 0 (zero) by using the ResetStatistic and ResetStatistics methods, or updated by using the UpdateStatistic and UpdateStatistics methods.

CheckHealthText

Gets a string that indicates the health of the device.

Claimed

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the device is claimed for exclusive access.

Compatibility (Inherited from PosDevice)
DeviceDescription
