Using IRL and PC-IRL

The JANUS 2010 fully supports IRL, as described in Chapter 7, "Working With
IRL." You can write, compile, and run IRL programs on your reader. You can
port existing IRL applications to the JANUS platform and take advantage of
special JANUS commands and features.
Intermec recommends you use PC-IRL to create and download IRL programs.
PC-IRL provides IRL programmers with an easy-to-use programming and
debugging environment on a PC.

Making PSK Applications That Work With BFT

You can create PSK applications that can accept and respond to a host
computer's request to initiate a binary file transfer (BFT) session.
You need to program your PSK application to accept the Prepare for Reboot
command from any host computer. Your application responds by calling a
Prepare for Reboot procedure (which may consist of housekeeping tasks such
as closing files), and then notifies the PSK library and host computer that the
reader is ready to be rebooted. At that point, the host can reboot the reader and
open a BFT session.
To learn how to create BFT-ready PSK applications, see your JANUS PSK
reference manual. To learn more about BFT, see "Downloading Applications
Across the Network" in Chapter 6.
