•
Downloads by telephone (via Bluetooth): Files and data transfer over
Bluetooth from the sending system (a host computer) to the receiving system
(a VX 680 terminal). Data transfers into the VX 680 terminal through the
designated communication port.
•
Back-to-back downloads: Files and data transfer from a sending
VX 680 terminal to a receiving VX 680 terminal. A special cable connects the
RS-232 serial ports of the two terminals.
An external UART Dongle on both the sending and receiving terminal is required
to attach the special cable.
•
USB downloads: Files and data are transferred from a USB-connected drive.
The terminal searches for the Verifone.zip file on the drive and downloads
data from it.
The terminal will automatically download the file Verifone.zip from a USB
flash drive without the user having to go through
the following conditions:
•
The USB flash drive is connected before the terminal is turned on.
•
The USB flash drive is inserted when the initial
message is displayed.
In both cases, the
screen after the Verifone.zip file has been downloaded.
Three software tools are available from Verifone for performing downloads:
VeriCentre Download Management Module (DMM), VeriCentre, and DDL.EXE
(Direct Download Utility).
Because of the large size of some download files, Verifone recommends only
using download tools provided by Verifone. CRC and other error checking is not
supported on the GSM system. Verifone download tools provide these error
checking mechanisms.
The following tools perform direct downloads and downloads by telephone from a
host computer to a VX 680 terminal:
•
VeriCentre DMM: Multi-user environment for software downloads. DMM
supports Windows NT clients and has a sophisticated database to manage up
to 100,000 terminals. The VX 680 operating system supports file
decompression for archives created using DMM.
•
VeriCentre: PC-based software tool to manage applications and data for
Verifone. In addition to being a database and communications management
tool, VeriCentre automates application downloads and updates to terminal
records.
