Checklist for Effects
on Files and
Settings in the
Receiving Device
This section provides the hardware and software checklist needed for direct
operating system downloads. The procedure for direct operating system
downloads is also discussed.
The correct cable connects the download computer serial port (COM2) to the
RS-232 serial port (COM2) of the V
Direct Downloads).
Download Manager, VeriCentre, or DDL.EXE running on the host computer.
The complete OS version to download is located on the host computer.
Select full or partial download of the OS. In a full OS download, the device restarts
automatically and the new OS is processed, replacing the existing OS. In a partial
OS download, the device returns to system mode and the new OS does not
process until you manually initiate a device restart from system mode.
The correct keyed record variables for the download exist in the CONFIG.SYS files
of Group 1. (OS files must always download into GID1 SRAM). The required
variables can also be written into the CONFIG.SYS file as part of the download
operation.
The following files provided by VeriFone CA for full OS downloads must reside on
the host computer:
The new OS version or OS update (Q*.out, 1*.out, 2*.out, 3*.out, 4*.out, 5*.out,
•
6*.out).
A signature file called VFI.p7s for the OS update. This signature file is
•
generated by the VeriFone CA using the high-level OS certificates for the V
platform.
A file called VFI.PED. This file is an encrypted list of the new OS files.
•
The required system mode and file group passwords are available to make the
required system mode menu selections to prepare the receiving device to receive
the application download.
Sufficient memory space exists in the Group 1 SRAM to accept the OS download
package including certificates, signature files, and all data files.
Use the system mode menu options to clear the entire SRAM or flash ROM or the
SRAM of Group 1 on the receiving device (as necessary).
A full OS download replaces the existing OS and erases all application files from
the Group 1 SRAM.
A partial OS download returns control of the device to system mode and does not
erase application files from the Group 1 SRAM.
Protected records in the CONFIG.SYS files of the receiving device – keyed
records that begin with * or # – are not erased.
An OS download does not overwrite device configuration settings, including the
current date and time, and passwords. If required, you can download new device
configuration settings together with the OS files.
