Cable Connection for Direct Downloads

The first step in performing a software download (or upload) is to
establish that the software and hardware setup is correct for the
sending and receiving system. Generally, this is the procedure you
follow:
1. Identify and confirm the version of the software you wish to
download, as well as the current version of the corresponding
software, if any, on the receiving system.
2. Set up or confirm the download link (serial cable or dial-up
telephone line) between the sending and receiving system. See
instructions for connecting cables below.
3. Activate and configure the download software on the sending
system (download computer), as required.
4. Initiate the download procedure on the receiving terminal, as
described below, for the specific download type you have
selected.
To perform a direct download of an application program or operating
system software, you must use a special cable to connect the serial
ports of the sending system (download computer) and the receiving
system (an Omni 3200 terminal). See Figure 17 below.
Two cables are available from VeriFone to support direct downloads:
one for computers with DB25-type serial connectors (PN 26263-XX)
and another for DB9-type connectors (PN 26264-XX). Both cables
have a 10-pin RJ45-type modular plug on one end for the Omni 3200-
side connection.
