Overview and Requirements

An Optimum terminal can load new software while in terminal boot mode. The boot communicates with a loading computer using the RS232 PPP FTP protocol. This requires the computer to be setup with two Windows services: FTP Server and RS232 PPP Remote Access Services (RAS). The following chapters provide details about how to set up the services.

This chapter provides the hardware and software requirements of the application.

PC Requirements

These are the minimum requirements:

_{PC Hardware}

– 133-Mhz Intel Pentium-class processor. – 128 MB of RAM, 256 MB recommended. – 150 MB of hard disk space required.

– 800 x 600 or higher-resolution display with 256 colors. – Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device. – One Ethernet card.

– One serial communication port.

– Serial cables (Hypercom Part Number 810162-010, Rev.A).

_{PC Software}

– Any of the following operating system software must be installed in the PC:

_{Windows XP Professional} _{Windows XP Home Edition} _{Windows 2000}

Verify the Connection

After the RAS-PPP-FTP over serial has been set up, you can test the connection by extracting a boot log from an Optimum terminal.

Step-by-Step

To verify the connection:

1. Connect a terminal to the loading computer using a serial cable.

2. Make sure the computer FTP directory (C:\Inetpub\ftproot\OS) is empty. Delete all files if necessary.

3. Put the terminal into boot transfer mode by power cycling the terminal while holding the Cancel key or reset button.

The terminal should generate constant beeps indicating the boot is performing file transfer. Once the transfer has started, the Cancel key or reset button can be released.

A RAS icon should appear on the computer system tray indicating the terminal connection.

After the transfer is finished, the terminal will reboot automatically.

4. To confirm the success of the file transfer, verify that a boot log file with current date was generated in the computer’s c:\Inetpub\ftproot\Bootlog directory.

NOTE: If there is a problem with the file transfer, disable the Windows Firewall from the Windows Control Panel and try again.

To perform a software load:

Use the ‘Verifying the Connection’ procedure steps, except (step 2) place the target terminal software into the FTP directory (C:\Inetpub\ftproot\OS) before power cycling the terminal into boot mode.
