4. Choose OK.
5. Switch the terminal to Run mode.
You can now transfer application files over the selected network.
The terminal can store several application files. An application file
must be designated as the Current Application to run on the terminal.
An application file is made the Current Application as a result of
settings in file transfer dialogs and the state of the terminal when the
download occurs. A downloaded file is made current if:
•
the Make Current option is selected (the default), or the
downloaded file has the same name as the terminal’s
currently-selected file
•
the file is compatible with the terminal type and firmware version
Note: If a downloaded file is the only application on the terminal, it
is selected as the Current Application by default.
With the Select Application screen in PanelView, you can choose
which application to make current for uploading or running it.
Application files can be stored in several locations on the terminal,
depending on terminal and storage media type. The following table
lists the storage locations.
Terminal Type Firmware Storage Application File Storage Options
Enhanced Series F
and above terminal
with 2-MB SIMM
and 4-MB PCMCIA
card The firmware resides on
Card Partition 1 of the
PCMCIA card. The application file will reside on Card Partition 2 of the PCMCIA card. The amount of
space for application file storage depends on the size of the PCMCIA card. The firmware
will occupy approximately 1.7 MB. The remaining space can be used for application file
storage.
PanelView 1000e The firmware resides in the
terminal’s onboard flash
memory. The application file can reside in three locations:
•
on the terminal’s onboard flash memory
•
on Card Partition 1 on a PCMCIA memory card
•
on Card Partition 2 on a PCMCIA memory card
The terminal memory can store application files up to 2.25MB. If you have an application
file larger than 2.25MB, it must be stored on a PCMCIA card. The application file storage
space available on the PCMCIA card and the number of data partitions depends on the
size and formatting of the PCMCIA card.
If the 1000e terminal is executing firmware from a PCMCIA card, memory partition 1 is
also available for file storage if the onboard firmware is erased.
PanelView 1200e
and 1400e terminal The firmware resides in the
terminal’s onboard flash
memory. The application file can reside in three locations:
•
on the terminal’s onboard flash memory
•
on Card Partition 1 on a PCMCIA memory card
•
on Card Partition 2 on a PCMCIA memory card
The terminal memory can store application files up to 256K only. If you have an
application file larger than 256K, it must be stored on a PCMCIA card. The application file
storage space available on the PCMCIA card and the number of data partitions depends
on the size and formatting of the PCMCIA card.
If the 1200e or 1400e terminal is executing firmware from a PCMCIA card, memory
partition 1 is also available for file storage if the onboard firmware is erased.
