The following methods are available for file and data downloads through the
download and upload procedures.
The usual download utility program is Direct Download (DDL) utility. It is normally
available with the device's Developer's Toolkit (DTK), and can be obtained
through Verifone. DDL is a subset program of the Verifone VeriTalk download
application. It is designed specifically for a direct (RS-232/USB) download from a
PC to a device (versus the VeriTalk modem based functionality). As the DDL utility
sends files from the PC, the device display shows the progression of the
download. The file name is shown on Line 1 of the display with nnn showing the
number of blocks downloaded. Line 2 indicates the percent complete of the
download where each asterisk represents 10%.
The format of the DDL program is:
DDL [options] file1 [file2 ...] [config-data]
