Version Number Inquiry Message (Tran Type 36-06)
Simplify supports a Version Number Inquiry message from the POS process.
The POS system can send this message to Simplify when it wants to check PIN Pad version numbers (Simplify application, Simplify parameter, Verifone OS) and/or Terminal Type.
The Version Number Inquiry Request does not contain field 5001. The only fields are field 1 (Tran Type = 36) and field 11.
Upon receipt of the Version Number Inquiry message, Simplify will send a Version Number Inquiry Response message containing the requested data back to the POS system. In addition to the usual Tran Type 36 message fields, this Response includes the PIN Pad serial number in field 5002.
