While HandNet automatically sends the appropriate information to readers,
occasionally you will need to use this when correcting a problem with a reader.
You can do this with Download on the Reader menu.
To do this, select one or more readers, and go to the
Reader menu, click Download, and then click the type of
information to send.
Time: This sends the current time from the computer
to the selected reader(s). You typically only need to
use this option if the time changed (for example, for
Daylight Savings Time). You can select all of your
readers and send the time to all of them at once, or you can select specific
readers.
Time Zones: This sends time zone and holiday information to the selected
reader(s). You need to download this information if you change Time Zones
(page 61) or Holidays (see page 65).
Setup: This sends configuration information to the selected readers. In most
cases this is done automatically.
Users: After adding users, you need to download them to the hand readers so
the readers will recognize the new users. This sends all current users to the
selected readers.
All: This sends Time, Time Zones, Setup, and User information to the selected
reader(s). You would use this when you set up a new reader so the reader
had all the needed information.
Whenever you choose to download information to readers, HandNet asks you to
confirm that you want to download to the selected reader. Click YES to continue.
