What About Protected Records?

From Table 18, you may recall the following important points about

direct downloads and protected records:

• A direct application download does not overwrite protected

records stored on the receiving terminal. For example, the keyed

records in the CONFIG.SYS file that start with * or #.

• A direct application download does not overwrite the receiving

terminal’s bootloader or operating system software.

There are two cases, however, in which an application download

could accidentally overwrite an important file or record:

• If the file you are downloading has the same name as an existing

file, the existing file will be overwritten.

• If a CONFIG.SYS record you are downloading has the same

search key name as that of an existing keyed record, the variable

value which corresponds to that key will be overwritten.

Note: To avoid accidental overwrites, be sure that the file names

and record keys you plan to download are correct in relation to those

that may be stored in the memory of the receiving terminal.

Checklist for a Direct Download Procedure

Before you begin a direct download procedure, check off these items:

• The download software (for ZONTALK, VeriTalk, or Direct

Load) is running on the host computer, and is properly configured

to download the correct application or data files to the Omni 3200

terminal.

• The serial cable between the download computer and the Omni

3200 terminal is properly connected.

• The receiving Omni 3200 terminal is connected to a power

source.
