serial firmware upgrade.

Firmware Upgrade via PCMCIA memory card
ĊInsert the
firmware upgrade card and press the Upgrade button. The
terminal will reset and load the new firmware into the terminal’s
extended system memory (Flash). The terminal automatically
reboots when you eject the PCMCIA memory card. The terminal
automatically re-starts in Configure mode and displays the
Terminal Configuration screen.
Important: The firmware upgrade program reformats and
repartitions the terminal’s onboard flash
memory. If it contains a data partition with
application files, the upgrade program may erase
it, in which case a message is displayed that
indicates this. You will be able to reject the
reformat if you need to upload or back up your
application files. If you accept the reformat, all
data at that location is destroyed.
To display information about your system, press the Terminal
Information button on the Terminal Configuration screen.
This screen displays:
•
the current application file name
•
The network type of the current application
•
the size of the current application file
•
the date you last modified the current application file
