Downloading Applications Across the Network

You can use binary file transfer (BFT) to download applications to JANUS
devices in 900 MHz RF and CrossBar networks. BFT can perform these tasks
with or without assistance from the person operating the device:
• Interrupt any PSK application, reboot the device, and start the file transfer
• Transfer binary files (for example, an application) with error detection
• Change the contents of the JANUS drive C by loading a new image file
• Run any program on the device when the transfer or update is complete
Note: The BFT functionality is provided by the file transfer application (FTA.EXE),
which is stored on the Application companion disk 3.
