86 Operating System Downloads
The software requirements for operating system downloads are very
similar to those of application downloads:
• You can use Direct Load (DL.exe), ZONTALK, or VeriTalk to
perform a direct operating system download.
• You can use ZONTALK or VeriTalk to perform an operating
system download over a telephone line. To perform this type of
download, ZONTALK and VeriTalk require that several keyed
records be present in the receiving terminal’s CONFIG.SYS file
to define terminal and operating system parameters.
Note: The CONFIG.SYS records required by ZONTALK for an
operating system download are described below. For details about the
setup requirements and download procedures for VeriTalk, please
refer to the VeriTalk Enterprise System 1.3 User’s Guide, VeriFone
Part Number 52077-02.
• For terminal-to-terminal uploads, there is no software
requirement, except that the Omni 3200 firmware version on the
sending and receiving terminal should be identical (or at least,
very similar).
Upgrades and Downgrades
Depending on your specific requirements for terminal programming
and deployment, you can download a later version of the TXO
operating system than the current one (upgrade), or you can download
a previous version (downgrade).
Note: Each operating system version has a name (*OS) and a serial
number (*OT). Be sure to check and verify this information on both
sides of the transfer before you initiate a download.
