The terminal manager operations available on a VX 680 terminal can be divided
into the following two categories or types:
•
Local operations address a stand-alone terminal and do not require
communication or data transfers between the terminal and another terminal or
computer. Perform local Verix Terminal Manager operations to configure, test,
and display information about the terminal.
•
Remote operations require communication between the terminal and a host
computer (or another terminal) over a telephone line or a cable connection.
Perform remote Verix Terminal Manager operations to download application
software to the terminal, upload software from one terminal to another, or
download over the phone line using a modem dongle from VeriCentre or from
another download host.
This chapter contains descriptions on how to perform local Verix Terminal
Manager operations. For information on performing remote operations, such as
downloads, refer to
The VX 680 terminal you are using may or may not have an application program
running on it. After you have set up the terminal (refer to Terminal Setup in VX 680
Installation Guide, VPN-DOC268-003-EN) and the terminal is turned on, use the
following guidelines to verify terminal status regarding software and current
operating mode:
•
If no application program is loaded into terminal memory, the message

From this point, press
Manager and perform the required download.
•
If an application program is loaded and *GO is set in the configuration file in
group 1 to the application's name into terminal memory, an application-specific
prompt appears. The application is running and the terminal is in normal
mode. If all installation steps are complete, the terminal can process
transactions.
To prevent unauthorized use of the Verix Terminal Manager menus, the VX 680
terminal OS requires a system password each time you enter Verix Terminal
Manager. To access the Verix Terminal Manager password entry screen,
simultaneously press the
password is "166831." Use the following key sequence to enter this password:
1 6 6 8 3 1 ENTER
After entering the correct password, the terminal enters the terminal manager and
displays the first terminal manager main menu. You can now cycle through all
Verix Terminal Manager main menus.
