Procedure

A back-to-back application download overwrites existing applications, libraries, or
any other files stored in the I: drive of the receiving terminal.

All CONFIG.SYS records and settings on the receiving terminal—protected and
non-protected—are replaced by those of the sending terminal. Ensure that these
records and settings on the sending terminal are correct before initiating the
download.

Passwords on the receiving terminal are retained.

Certificates and signature files downloaded to the receiving terminal, together with
application files, must be processed by the file authentication module on the
receiving terminal on terminal restart after the back-to-back download completes.

The OS software on the receiving terminal is not affected by a back-to-back
application download.
OS files cannot be downloaded in a back-to-back operation.
Note:

An application upload does not overwrite the existing certificate tree on the
receiving terminal. Any downloaded certificate files are authenticated and then
added to the tree.
The back-to-back application download process consists of two main phases:
1
Preparing a Gold VX 680 terminal (transfers application files to the Target
VX 680 terminal).
2
Downloading application files from the Gold terminal to a properly configured
Target terminal.
Prepare Gold Terminal (PC-to-Terminal)

Configure the host PC for an application download operation to the Gold
terminal:
•
Set the *FA variable (if present in the application) to 1.
•
Ensure that all certificates, *p7s files, applications, and other required
files are present.
•
Ensure that the download is exactly what you want your Target terminal to
receive.
