The first step in performing a download to a VX 680 terminal is to establish the
physical communication link between the sending and receiving systems required
to support the following download methods:
•
Direct serial cable connection for direct application and OS downloads:
The link is between the COM1 port of a download computer (PC) and the
COM1 port on the receiving VX 680 terminal.
Two special cables are available from Verifone to support direct downloads:
one for computers with DB25-type serial connectors (VPN 26263-02) and
another for DB9-type connectors (VPN 26264-01). Both of these cables have
a 10-pin RJ45 modular plug on one end for the external dongle or multiport-
side connection.
•
Telephone line connection for application or OS downloads by
telephone: The link is from the modem connection of a host computer to the
multiport adaptor or external modem dongle that connects to the receiving
VX 680 terminal or Base Station (see
For this type of download operation, a standard telephone line cable with
modular Telco connectors is required.
A link between the host computer and the VX 680 terminal can also be
established via Bluetooth.
•
Direct serial cable connection for back-to-back application downloads:
The link is between the RS-232 ports of the sending and receiving
VX 680 terminals.
A special cable is required for back-to-back downloads (VPN 05651-00). This
cable has two 10-pin RJ45 modular plugs on each end to establish the
terminal-to-terminal connection.
There are two cables for direct downloads:
•
DB25 serial connector (VPN 26263-02)
•
DB9 connector (VPN 26264-01)
