Terminal failure? If your Equinox Hypercom Optimum M4230, 4220, 4205, or 4210 is not updated before 10/18/2015 it will fail due to an expired certificate. These terminals can be updated in the field through a 2 step download process, but waiting until the fail date will likely result in support delays.
