Updating Smart7 cashless reader using a configuration file

The configuration of a cashless reader can be updated using a configuration file, which is generated in the GEN7 Configurator update tool and loaded
onto the reader using either a PC's File Explorer or a type C USB flash drive. The configuration file is included in an archive file.
5.1.5.1

Configuration archive file structure

The configuration file is not downloaded to the reader directly but is included in an archive file that is downloaded to the reader. It comes within a
compressed *.tar archive, including 5 encrypted *.fcon files. This configuration file is an encrypted archive containing the necessary hashes for
integrity checks, the configuration file and eventually an updated version of the firmware.
