Verifying Terminal Status

The System Password

28
The Omni 3200 terminal you are working with may, or may not have
an application program running on it. When you have set up the
terminal as described in Section 1, and the terminal is connected to a
power source, follow these simple guidelines to verify the terminal's
status in relation to its software and current operating mode:
• If an application program has not yet been downloaded into the
terminal's SRAM, the message DOWNLOAD NEEDED is
displayed on the terminal's screen. From this point, you can press
the [CLEAR] key to enter System Mode and perform the required
application download.
• If an application program has already been downloaded into the
terminal SRAM, an application-specific Application Prompt is
displayed. The application is running and the terminal is in
Normal Mode. If all installation steps have been completed, the
terminal is now ready to process transactions.
To prevent the unauthorized use of System Mode functions, the Omni
3200 terminal firmware requires that you key in a System Password
each time you enter System Mode.
The default System Password, which is pre-set at the factory, is:
[1] [ALPHA] [ALPHA] [6] [6] [8] [3] [1]
Note: For terminals that do not yet have an application program
stored in their memory, password entry is not required to enter
System Mode. Simply press the [CLEAR] key when the message
DOWNLOAD NEEDED is displayed.
