Typing Commands at the DOS Prompt

You can use a DOS command line instead of the menu interface to transmit
and receive files. The syntax for the command is:
cmgr [-reader_portph] -phost_port -stype -f[path\]file
where:
reader_port
ph
host_port
type
path
file
For example, to load the PC Standard protocol handler on the reader's COM1
and transmit a file called TEST.DAT from the host computer's COM1, type this
command at the reader's DOS prompt:
cmgr -1p -p1 -st -ftest.dat

Downloading Applications Across the Network

You can use binary file transfer (BFT) to download applications to JANUS
readers in 900 MHz RF and CrossBar networks. BFT can perform these tasks
with or without assistance from the person operating the reader:
• Interrupt any PSK application, reboot the reader, and start the file transfer
• Transfer binary files (for example, an application) with error detection
• Change the contents of the reader's drive C by loading a new image file
• Run any program on the reader when the transfer or update is complete
Note: The BFT functionality is provided by the file transfer application (FTA.EXE),
which is stored on the Application companion disk 3.
