In order to transfer a new software version onto a VDO
SmartTerminal, you can either perform this via the per-
manent connection or you load the update onto a USB
stick. Regardless of whether the VDO SmartTerminal
runs in the network, on a USB cable or in standalone
mode, it can receive an update via USB stick at any
time.
This function allows you to create a USB stick to reset a
terminal back to factory settings. Please note that after-
wards, all data on the terminal have been deleted.
