IBM ECR – The M 800 series of terminals supports file download from an IBM
ECR. The download file will need to be properly formatted using VeriFone's
PCLANCNV utility. The concatenation / compression facility in PCLANCNV
will no longer be supported. Instead, files may be converted to .TAR format
(concatenation) and GNU Zipped (compressed) and then passed through
PCLANCNV. Configuration variables will continue to be supported via
PCLANCNV.

USB Memory Device - System Mode supports OS and Application upgrade/
install via USB memory devices. Applications can access the USB memory
device via /mnt/usbstor1.

Downloaded Notes

•
The downloaded .TAR or .TGZ files expands automatically, ensure that the
standard GZIP Compressed .TGZ and .TAR extensions are used.
•
Users can create any directory structure provided that it is under the /home/
usr1 directory.
•
During .TAR file expansion, the system will automatically set owner/group
permission for each file. The default permissions are: owner=read/write/
execute, group=read and other=read.
•
Full downloads will delete all files in the directory including all hidden files and
their sub-directories located in /home/usr1.
•
It is understood that files may be transferred to a M
means other than those defined by the operating system. If files are
transferred via custom/proprietary mechanisms, it is recommended that they
be sent in the form of a .TAR file and are placed in the base path of the user
(i.e. usr1 would be /home/usr1). After the file is transferred to the terminal, it
is important that the application calls svcExpand() and loadOSFiles() to
properly expand and install the files contained in the .TAR file.
