6. The Boot Loader menu appears.
The Boot Loader menu lists seven commands and displays status messages or
checksum messages at the bottom of the screen. The commands are:
Reboot This command lets you cold boot the reader. A cold boot clears
conventional memory and destroys all buffered data. For help, see "Cold
Booting the Reader" earlier in this chapter.
Password This command lets you enable or disable a password that all users
must enter to display the Boot Loader menu. For help, see "Limiting Access to
Advanced Reader Commands" later in this chapter.
Dump This command lets you transmit the lower 640K of memory out
through COM1. You might use this feature when the reader is not functioning
and you need to save the contents of conventional memory. For help, see
"Dumping the Reader's 640K Conventional Memory" later in this chapter.
Load This command lets you load the reader's flash memory from a host
computer connected to a serial port. You may reload the default flash memory
to correct an error condition or you may upgrade the reader's software. For
help, see "Loading Flash Memory" later in this chapter.
Resume This command lets you exit the Boot Loader menu and resume
operating as you were before you displayed the Boot Loader menu. For
example, if the reader was executing an application, the application continues.
If there is a bad checksum or the flash is corrupt, the reader cannot resume. For
help, see "Powering Up or Booting the Reader" in Chapter 10.
Storage This command lets you put the reader in Storage mode, which helps
preserve the life of the bridge battery. All data stored in RAM is lost when you
enter Storage mode. You should place the reader in Storage mode if you are
not going to use it for one week or more. For help, see "Using Storage Mode to
Preserve the Bridge Battery" later in this chapter.
Off This command lets you exit the Boot Loader menu and put the reader into
Suspend mode. When you press
resumes normal operation. For help, see "Turning the Reader On and Off" in
Chapter 1.
