[asterisk-users] Verifone-Asterisk-AGI

[Steve Edwards]

Wrong list. asterisk-dev is for changing the C source code of Asterisk. 
That's part of why you didn't get a response yesterday.

A little googling yields some information that may help.

The VeriFone vx510 is a credit card terminal.

It has Ethernet and 12mb of memory.

There are different models with different capabilities based on country of 
origin so you should state where you plan to deploy the device.

I didn't see any programming manuals VerifFone's web site, but I didn't 
look for but a few seconds. I'm guessing the connection between this 
device and whatever will be encrypted and obscured by some proprietary 
protocol that will be economically impossible without full documentation.

If you are asking if someone can code an AGI to take information possibly 
passed in channel variables, pass this information (an "authorization or 
sale request") to the vx510 via a TCP/UDP connection, receive a response 
and return the response to your dialplan via channel variables, the answer 
is yes -- assuming VeriFone's documentation is helpful.

Thanks in advance,
