PERFORMING DOWNLOADS
File Authentication Requirements
VX 520 R
EFERENCE GUIDE 115
Before initiating an OS download, either full or partial, ensure that enough
memory space is available in Group 1 RAM to temporarily store the OS files,
verify that any application files can also be stored in Group 1.
If a full OS download was selected in Verix Terminal Manager, the terminal
automatically restarts and the new OS is processed and replaces the existing
OS. In this download operation, all application files stored in Group 1 are
automatically erased.
If a partial OS download was selected in terminal manager, the operating
system returns control to terminal manager after the download completes. To
process the new OS, you must manually restart the terminal by selecting the
appropriate terminal manager menu option. In a partial OS download
operation, application files stored in Group 1 are not erased.
When the OS download is initiated, the OS file authentication progress is
displayed on the screen as new certificates are authenticated and added to
the terminal’s certificate tree, and as signature files for corresponding OS files
are detected and authenticated, as shown in Table 33.
While the new OS is being processed, there is no visible indication on the
terminal display of the progress of processing. When the new OS is processed
(this usually takes a few moments), the terminal restarts automatically and the
OS download procedure is complete.
File Authentication
for Back-to-Back
Application
Downloads
When performing a back-to-back application download between two VX 520
terminals, the file authentication process on the receiving terminal is similar to an
application download from a host computer to a standalone VX 520 terminal.
There are some important differences to take into account:
Only a full application download is supported for back-to-back data transfers.
You cannot perform partial back-to-back application downloads.
Before you can initiate the back-to-back download, you must enter terminal
manager in both terminals, select Group 1 as the target group for both
terminals, and enter all required passwords.
All signature files required to authenticate the download application(s) must
reside in the memory of the sending terminal. They must not be deleted
through the *FA variable being cleared to 0 on previous downloads.
Any sponsor and signer certificates downloaded to and authenticated on the
sending terminal are stored in the certificate tree of that terminal. When you
perform a back-to-back download, certificate files are reconstructed from the
data present in the sending unit’s certificate tree.
CAUTION
If the power supply to the receiving terminal is accidentally cycled during an
operating system download procedure, the terminal may permanently lock up. In
that case, return the terminal to VeriFone for service.
