Sending the Hex Image

Once the hex file is built, you are ready to download it to the terminal. A Hex image
download requires both TCM and a program loader stored on the terminal. The terminal
comes with a program loading utility, Initial Program Loader (IPL), stored in the terminal's
write-protected flash. To run IPL, the terminal must be inserted in a cradle or connected to
a development PC by direct serial connection.

Connect The Terminal and Development PC

To send the hex file to the terminal, first link the terminal and development PC by one of the
following devices:
• Serial Charging Cable (p/n 25-55853-01)
• Single-Slot Serial Cradle (p/n CRD8000-1000S).

Set Up IPL to Receive the File

To set up IPL on the terminal to receive the files being downloaded via TCM:
1. Hard reset the terminal by removing the battery door and pressing the Power key
and a Scan button, simultaneously.
2. Press the 5 key when three } appear on the bottom left of the screen.
Note: Terminal display is in landscape mode in IPL. Therefore, rotate your
terminal 90 degress to the right to read the display correctly.
