New PaySafe firewall hardware is on the way

If your location uses POS Protect+ for VX520 Service with PDI’s AER1600 Series firewall hardware, replacement equipment will begin shipping in the next few weeks.

The AER1600 Series firewall hardware has reached end-of-life status. Once the new PaySafe firewall hardware arrives, locations should complete the replacement promptly to help maintain access to hardware support, maintenance, security patches and updates.

Your shipment will include

  • New PaySafe firewall hardware
  • Installation instructions
  • A prepaid return label for the existing AER1600 hardware

The replacement process should take approximately 5–10 minutes and is not expected to require an ASC or POS technician.

Action required upon receipt

Install the new firewall hardware and begin using it as soon as possible. Then use the included prepaid return label to return the existing AER1600 device.

Same service, updated hardware

This update does not change PDI service or the benefits provided by the PaySafe firewall solution. It is intended to replace aging hardware and support continued security and service.
