The System mode operations available on a PINpad can be divided into the
following two categories or types:
•
Local operations: Addresses a stand-alone unit and do not require
communication or data transfers between the unit and another terminal or
computer. Perform local System mode operations to configure, test, and
display information about the PINpad.
•
Remote operations: Requires communication between the unit and a host
computer (or another terminal) over a cable connection. Perform remote
System mode operations to download application software to the PINpad,
upload software from one PINpad to another, or download from another
download host.
This chapter contains descriptions on how to perform local System mode
operations. For information on performing remote operations, such as downloads,
refer to Performing Downloads
The device you are using may or may not have an application program running on
it. After you have set up the device (refer to P400/P400 Plus Installation Guide,
VPN - DOC435-003-EN or P200/P200 Plus Installation Guide, VPN -
DOC430-003-EN) and the unit is turned on, use the following guidelines to verify
PINpad status regarding software and current operating mode:
•
If no application program is loaded into the PINpad's memory, the unit enters
the System Mode screen.
•
If an application program is loaded into PINpad's flash, an application-specific
prompt appears. The application runs and the unit is in normal mode.
