Requirements

Downloads require moving the application and/or application data files from a
remote computer to the terminal. In the MX 900 Series application
development, application files are downloaded from a development PC directly
to the terminal. In the field, application files must be transferred from the
terminal's controlling device (ECR, LAN controller, and so on) to the terminal.
The MX 900 supports a module called the Secure Installer (SI). The secure
installer is responsible for authentication and installation of applications and
operating system components. The secure installer follows a well defined
specification requiring bundles and packages. The detailed information on
creation of download files for MX 900 is contained in the Programmer's Manual.
Also note that the MX 900 SDK includes a tool called the Package Manager to aid
developers and deployment personal create and maintain bundles and packages.
