The getStatus method checks the status of the AEA (the payment application) service to see if it’s ready to process transactions (as opposed to getInternalStatus which provides information about the payment terminal’s readiness to do the first part of processing a new transaction).
It’s a quick way to diagnose the terminal’s health, but you should call it infrequently.
