Saving Configuration Changes in Flash Memory
The 246X terminals use two copies of the configuration:
Runtime or RAM configuration This configuration is the current or active set of
parameters and options enabled on the terminal. The configuration is stored in RAM
and will be lost if you boot or reset the terminal.
Boot or flash configuration This configuration is the set of parameters and options
last saved in flash memory. The configuration is stored in flash memory and will be
saved and used if you boot or reset the terminal.
Here are the three ways that you can configure the terminal and how the configuration
is updated:
Configure the Terminal
Scanning bar code labels
From a host application through
the serial port
2461 terminal from the network
(DCS 300 or host)
If you configure the terminal by scanning bar code labels, through the serial port or
from the network, you may want to save the changes in flash memory by scanning or
sending the Save Configuration in Flash Memory reader command.
