Update Device

Changed on

You can either update the configuration of a device or take an action on the device

Terminals must be online and connected to the network in order for the request to be successful.

You can initiate an action on a Device. Actions supported vary by gateway.

FINIX_V1 and DUMMY_V1 terminals support the following actions:

  • ACTIVATE - Activate the device to enable processing
  • DEACTIVATE - Deactivate the device to disable processing
  • CANCEL - Cancel any active transaction and return to the idle screen

For processors other than FINIX_V1 and DUMMY_V1, contact your Finix point of contact or email Finix Support for device update instructions.

You can also use a PUT request to update the configuration, description, name, and serial_number of the Device.
