Transferring Files in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network

4-22
You can use an application on the host computer to transfer files and send data between
the terminal and host in a TCP/IP direct connect network. To initiate file transfers from
the host, you need to write a host application that can communicate directly with a
2461. You use the file management reader commands such as Receive File and
Transmit File to transfer files between the 2461 and the host. For help, see Chapter 7,
"Reader Command Reference."
To initiate file transfers from the terminal, you do not need to develop a host
application as described in this section. You can use the Receive File and Transmit File
within a terminal application or by scanning bar code labels. For help, see Chapter 7,
"Reader Command Reference."
Note: You can continue running an application on the 2461 while configuring the
terminal or transferring files from the host.
To use the built-in TFTP client on the 2461, you need the following:
•
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server must be running on the host.
•
TFTP server must be running on at least a Pentium processor or equivalent.
•
2461 terminal must be communicating with the host that is running the TFTP
server.
•
The TFTP server or some other application on the host must be able to send the
reader command on the network.
To transfer files or send configuration data from the host
1. Make sure the TFTP server is running on the host and the 2461 is communicating
with the host.
2. Start the host application that can send reader commands to the terminal.
3. Send the two-character TMF code, CS (Configuration Set request) followed by the
reader or configuration command. For help on TMF, see "Configuring the 2461 in a
TCP/IP Direct Connect Network" earlier in this chapter.
For example, to send the application
drive C on the 2461, enter this command:
CS.%R,c:inventry.bin,c:inventry.bin
For command information, see Chapter 7, "Reader Command Reference" or
Chapter 8, "Configuration Command Reference."
is the source for a sample application you can run on the host. You can use
CLIENT.CPP
to send reader commands to the 2461 and receive the resulting messages.
