I have recently purchased a Verifone VX520 from a 3rd party retailer (cardmachineoutlet.com), and I am planning to use it as a dummy payment terminal to test the NFC functionality of a smartphone. The VX 520 operates at lightning speed thanks to a powerful processor and expandable memory. Integrated NFC/CTLS capabilities support alternative payments, as well as apps for loyalty programs.

I have recently purchased a Verifone VX520 from a 3rd party retailer (cardmachineoutlet.com), and I am planning to use it as a dummy payment terminal to test the NFC functionality of a smartphone, with no actual payment. When I tried to set it up, it's asking me to input *ZP Host Phone num, *ZT Terminal ID, and etc, but am not sure what to input for these values. Is there anyway to download a demo softtware on VX520?

The short answer: 'If you have to ask, then no.'
All certificates issued by the VeriFone CA for the VX 520 platform, and for any VeriFone platform with the VeriShield security architecture, are hierarchically related. That is, a lower-level certificate can only be authenticated under the authority of a higher-level certificate.

VX-520 Communication Troubleshooting. Software Troubleshooting Steps. Confirm if the merchant needs a dial prefix (i.e. A 9 to dial out, usually for new setups). You can change the communication type (dial or IP) on Verifone terminals inside the device settings.
The long answer:
First, as background... *ZP is the phone number to dial into. *ZT is the terminal ID and *ZA is the application name that you want to download. What you are doing is saying to connect to a VeriCentre server which can be reached at the *ZP number (for 520s, you can instead have a *ZN (N for network) for using an IP address, but for other terminals, that would just go into *ZP as an 'overloaded use'). Once you connect to that server, you are identifying yourself with *ZT and requesting the application *ZA.
So, to the meat of you question, if you are looking for a demo application, someone would need to have written said application and be hosting on a VeriCentre server that you can access. VeriFone has nothing of this sort (without prior arrangements) that I'm aware of, nor am I aware of anyone else hosting sample programs for just anyone to use (although I'd love to find out I'm wrong about that...)
