Local and Remote Functions
The System Mode functions that are available on an Omni 3200
terminal can be divided into the following two categories or types:
• Local functions
. Local functions address a standalone terminal
and do not require communication or data transfers between the
terminal and another computer or terminal.
You use local System Mode functions to configure, test, and
display information about the terminal.
• Remote functions
. Remote functions require communication
between the terminal and a host or download computer (or
another terminal) over a telephone line or a cable connection.
You use remote System Mode functions to download application
software to the terminal, upload software from one terminal to
another, and to perform remote diagnostics over a telephone line.
This chapter contains descriptions of how to perform local System
Mode functions. Local System Mode functions include the following:
