Sending the Hex Image

Once the hex file is built, you are ready to download it to the terminal. A Hex image
download requires both TCM and a program loader stored on the terminal. The terminal
comes with a program loading utility, Initial Program Loader (IPL), stored in the terminal's
write-protected flash. To run IPL, the terminal must be inserted in a cradle or connected to
a host PC by direct serial connection.

Loading the BIOS

Uploading a new BIOS erases only the 128K of Flash where BIOS is stored. While IPL is
updating the BIOS, the BIOS image is saved in memory until the entire BIOS is received
and verified. The Flash Disk image and application storage area are unaffected.

Saving the Script

If you made changes to the script since last saving it, save the script again.

Connect The Terminal and Development PC

To send the hex file to the terminal, first link the terminal and development PC by one of the
following devices:
• Direct serial link
• Cradle (refer to Chapter 3, Cradle Setup and Operation in the Product Reference
Guide for more information on setting up the cradle).

Begin the Send in TCM

In TCM on the PC:
1. Select the script.
2. From the file menu, choose Load Terminal.
