Differentiating Between Client and Server

BFT is a client/server application, and you must decide which device (host
computer or reader) is to be the client or server. The difference between client
and server is a simple one: the client is the device from which you enter all
commands. In this example, the host computer is the client:

Enable the Prepare for Reboot and Reboot commands with the Command
Processing command ($+DC) on the reader. These commands allow the
reader to respond when the host computer initiates a BFT session. In the
reader's default configuration, these commands are enabled. For help, see
"Command Processing" in Chapter 12.
Copy FTA.EXE and FTA.INI from the Application companion disk 3 to the
reader's drive C. For help adding new files to drive C, see "Adding or
Editing Files on Drive C" in Chapter 3.
Run a BFT-ready PSK application on the reader so that when the host
computer requests that the reader prepare for reboot, the reader can
respond correctly. The PSK application must be programmed to expect the
Prepare for Reboot command. For help, see "Prepare for Reboot" in
Chapter 11 and your JANUS PSK reference manual.
