DOWNLOAD NEEDED
This section provides the hardware and software checklist needed for back-to-
back application downloads. The procedure for back-to-back terminal downloads
is also discussed.

The correct serial cable connects the RS-232 ports of the sending and receiving
VX 680 terminals (refer to
Application Downloads).

The firmware versions of the sending and receiving terminals must be identical or
very similar.

One or more complete and authenticated application programs are stored in the
GIDs 1 15, I: drive or F: drive of the sending terminal. In this type of operation, all
–
files stored in application memory of the sending terminal download to the
receiving terminal.

Before initiating the download procedure, remember to select Group 1 as the
target file group on both the sending and receiving terminals. The required Verix
Terminal Manager and file group passwords must also be available to make the
required Verix Terminal Manager menu selections on both terminals.

The current CONFIG.SYS variables, date and time, and other terminal
configuration settings on the sending terminal are those downloaded to the
receiving terminal. Ensure that the desired settings are correct.

All signature files required to authenticate the application files being downloaded
to the receiving terminal are present in the I: drive or F: drive file system of the
sending terminal.

The certificate tree of the sending and receiving terminal must be synchronized.
That is, there can be no more than one revision difference between the certificate
data currently stored in the memory of the sending and receiving terminals.
