I NSTALLATION & UPGRADE
9.1 INSTALL AN APPLICATION
Syntax: install NAME=<app-list> SRV=<host> ID=<host login>
PASS=<password> LOC=<directory on host>
An application may be initially installed, or upgraded, using the install command.
Note: The application software package file must first be placed on an FTP server accessible to
the DT-6061.
The install command is invoked from the RS-232C system console and accepts:
! The NAME parameter is a comma-separated list of application names or platform update
names.
! The SRV parameter is the IP address of the FTP server. It may be entered as a domain-style
address if the DNS and/or HOSTS configurations have been established.
! The ID parameter is the user id to be used on that FTP server.
! The PASS parameter is the password associated with the user id on the FTP server
! The LOC parameter is the location (directory name if not /dt6061/apps) of the DT-6061
application files on the FTP server,
The install command will then operate as an FTP client to acquire the application files from the
FTP server. Once the application files have been acquired, the install command will disconnect
from the FTP server, and unpack the application into its proper locations on the DT-6061. In
doing so, the DT-6061 will display the sum of each application or platform update, which may be
compared with the sum documented on the Datatek download web page.
If parameters are omitted from the command line, install will prompt for them. When prompted for
the password, input is not echoed. Note that it is necessary to specify ID and PASS only if the
FTP server is not a standard anonymous FTP.
The install command remembers the last SRV and LOC and provides them as defaults for the
SRV and LOC prompts.
Multiple applications may be downloaded from the same SRV and LOC in a single invocation of
install. This is done by listing all the application names separated by commas, with NO spaces,
as the value of NAME. E.g.: install NAME=tn3270,x25pad etc.
This release of the DT-6061 can install software packaged for the newer Embedded Network
Applications Processor hardware, the DT-6160 and DT-6260, while also supporting software
packaged for DT-6061 platform software version 15. All future applications will be packaged for
use on the DT-6160, DT-6260, and DT-6061 release 16.0 or greater. New applications cannot be
installed in the DT-6061 running version 15 or earlier.
9.2 APPLICATION SOFTWARE REGISTRATION
Syntax: regapp [ <key> ]
Each application that is installed or upgraded on a DT-6061 must be registered in order for it to
run. Please call Datatek for a registration key. The key is based on the application name, the
software version (the two-part build number, e.g. 9.1) of the application software, and the
