The process of downloading configuration files to the PCXZ may be accomplished by following either
of the sequences listed below:

Insert diskette into drive (A: or B:). The prompt should be either A:\ or B:\.

Type “Download POS.BIN [Comm Port] [Bank Code] [Type Code]” (i.e., Download POS.BIN
1 0 C)

Continue to download all necessary dispenser and card information (if required) to the
appropriate banks.

Type “DL_xxx y” where xxx is the dispenser type and y is the destination Comm Port. This is
the format for using one of the batch files which loads all appropriate files into the
corresponding bank. The actual files from the diskette provided by PIE are listed below.
These formats are used by the download program to send software to the PCXZ

Brand-Specific Batch Files

dl_tok.bat

for Tokheim

dl_sam.bat

for Schlumberger

dl_krs.bat

The download feature also allows different dispenser and card reader types to be loaded into the
same controller. For example, a site may have Gilbarco dispensers on one island and Tokheim
dispensers on another. The Gilbarco dispenser would be loaded into bank 3 and the Tokheim
dispenser into bank 5. If these dispensers have card readers, the files would be loaded into bank 4
for Gilbarco and bank 6 for Tokheim. The files may be loaded in any order to accommodate the
specific requirements of the user.
