Installing Application Software On Flash Disk; Initiate Host Communications On The Pc - Symbol Series 3800 Reference Manual

Installing Application Software on Flash Disk

Note: LWP.HEX version 3.03 or greater is required on the Series 384X for
this process. If you are not sure of the terminal's hex version, boot
(initialize) the Series 384X. The hex version is displayed for
approximately 5 seconds during the initialization process.
Installing application software on the Series 384X flash disk includes downloading a HEX
file to the Series 384X, using SENDHEX on the PC and a batch file (_L.BAT) that runs
Program Loader on the terminal, then re-initializing the terminal. On the initial boot after a
software download, the WWC copies the software files on to the flash disk, and remembers
that the copy occurred, ensuring that it is not repeated each time the WWC is booted.
The hardware required for performing the download includes:
Series 384X terminal
!
configuration cradle (3860, 3865, or 3866)
!
DOS PC
!
RS-232 serial null modem cable
!
