been downloaded, a message "All Targeted Downloads
Complete" will appear.
• The Card Retransmit option is not supported for the HDM

to these cards using options on the individual module
Administration Menu using the local Craft interface).

performed sequentially. If more than three cards are targeted
the Craft interface may time out and logoff the user.
