2.10 Installing Application to Drive B

2.10.1 Using LMWIN Method

You can install your application and other important information on Drive B to ensure that recovery
from a fatal error (for example, if the Drive A is corrupted or lost its format for some reason) be
made. Follow the steps below:
1. Compile your application so that it is in the download file (*.LOD).
2. Copy the application, patch files and system files (CONFIG.HTS, etc) to B:\
3. Create a text file called astart.hts. It should contain one line which will be something like this:
B:\mainapp.lod
4. Copy astart.hts to B:\.
5. When the system re-boots after a fatal error it will ask you to re-format the Drive A. After that
it will access the files in the root directory of Drive B. It will apply the patch files and
configuration files. It will read the astart.hts file. The application listed in the astart file will be
copied to the application area in the RAM (sometimes known as Drive C) and then executed.
If your application is designed in such a way that it backs up important data to the Drive B
occasionally, then you can re-copy the backed up data to the Drive A and continue.Therefore, you
can minimise any loss of data.

2.10.2 Using Multi-drop Method

If you are using the DT-960IOE Basic Cradle and the Multi-drop utility you can download a .lod
application file to Drive B (along with the other necessary files) as follows:
1. Copy the .lod file, config.hts, astart.hts and patch files (plus any other files you may want) to a
directory on your PC.
2. In the Multi-drop, specify the same directory in Transmitting data storage directory field
you have used in step no. 1 above. Refer to Fig. 2.4.
3. Set the Multi-drop utility to the polling mode by selecting Execute (R) menu. Refer to Fig.
2.6.
4. On the terminal, check that the parameters of protocol, port and speed in the TRANSMIT menu
(see Fig. 2.8) are set to MLT, SIR and 19K respectively
5. Select "4: UTILITY" in the menu.
6. Select "2: RECEIVE FILE" in the menu.
7. Select "2: B DRIVE" in the menu.
The files will now be downloaded. When you select "1: EXECUTE AP" menu your .lod file will be
copied to the application area in the memory and then executed.
(where mainapp.lod is the name of your application)
