Performing Multiple Uploads
When you have completed one upload, you can repeat the terminal-
to-terminal application upload procedure described above for
additional Omni 3200 terminals. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the serial cable from the 'RS232' port of the terminal
that received the previous application upload.
2. Connect the next Omni 3200 terminal to its power source and
insert the plug of the serial cable into its 'RS232' port.
3. To set up the next upload procedure, ensure that both terminals
are in System Mode, and that the System Prompt (SYSTEM= )
is displayed. The sending terminal should already be in this
condition (Steps 1a and 1b).
4. To start the next upload, press [#] on the receiving terminal. The
rest of the procedure (Steps 2a through 4b) is the same.
In addition to downloading application programs to Omni 3200
terminals, you can also download a new operating system without
having to physically swap out any internal parts. This feature lets you
easily update the terminal's TXO operating system when new
releases become available.
You can perform an operating system download directly from a
download computer, over a telephone line, or in a terminal-to-
terminal upload.
Note: A ZONTALK operating system download can also be
initiated by an application using the TXO library function
SVC_ZONTALK( ) with the 'O' (operating system) parameter.
The procedure for performing each type of operating system
download operation is described below.
