810 REFERENCE GUIDE
• USB downloads: Files and data are transferred from a USB-connected drive.
The device searches for the VeriFone.zip file on the drive and downloads data
from it.
Download Tools
Three software tools are available from VeriFone for performing downloads:
VeriCentre Download Management Module (DMM), VeriCentre, and DDL.EXE
(Direct Download Utility).
The following tools perform direct downloads from a host computer to a V
x
810:
• VeriCentre DMM: Multi-user environment for software downloads. DMM
supports Windows NT clients and has a sophisticated database to manage up
to 100,000 devices. The V
x
810 operating system supports file decompression
for archives created using DMM.
• VeriCentre: PC-based software tool to manage applications and data for
VeriFone. In addition to being a database and communications management
tool, VeriCentre automates application downloads and updates to device
records.
NOTE
The device will automatically download the file VeriFone.zip from a USB flash
drive without the user having to go through System Mode under the following
conditions:
• The USB flash drive is connected before the device is turned on.
• The USB flash drive is inserted when the initial DOWNLOAD NEEDED
message is displayed.
In both cases, the
USB DOWNLOAD COMPLETE message will appear on the screen
after the VeriFone.zip file has been downloaded.
NOTE
Because of the large size of some download files, VeriFone recommends only
using download tools provided by VeriFone. CRC and other error checking is not
supported on the GSM system. VeriFone download tools provide these error
checking mechanisms.
NOTE
The Verix V OS in the V
x
810 will support all non-modem-related VeriCentre
operations, including full/partial downloads and compressed downloads, but not
VeriCentre-initiated downloads because this requires a modem.
