REFERENCE MANUAL 145
System Mode For the Omni 37xx, system mode
temporarily disables normal mode operations, allow-
ing you to perform local functions such as down-
loads, diagnostics, and other operations that cannot
be performed while the application program is run-
ning.
At startup, the terminal displays a copyright notice
screen that shows the version of Omni 37xx system
firmware stored in terminal flash memory, the date it
was loaded into the terminal, and the copyright no-
tice. This screen appears for three seconds. To enter
system mode, simultaneously press the F2 and F4
keys during this three-second period. Pressing any
other key(s) during that period resets the copyright
notice screen to display an additional three seconds.
See also Local functions and Normal Mode.
System mode password A unique set of charac-
ters entered by the user to access the system mode
local functions of the terminal. A default password is
supplied with each terminal. For the Omni 37xx ter-
minal, the default system password set at manufac-
ture is: Z66831.
To prevent unauthorized access, change the default
password to a confidential password on terminal de-
ployment. Store the new password in a safe place,
as it is impossible to restore the terminal default
password without sending the unit to VeriFone for
service.
Telephone download The process of transferring
an application program and/or data from a remote
host or download computer to a terminal over a tele-
phone line.
Telephone jack Also, telephone line wall jack. In-
sert a modular connector into a telephone jack or re-
ceptacle. Also, modular-type sockets for connecting
telephone line cords. The Omni 37xx terminal has a
TELCO RJ45-type telephone jack on the back panel
used for a direct connection to a telephone line wall
jack.
Telephone line The standard telephone wiring
connecting your phone or terminal to a local or pri-
vate telephone company.
Terminal Any device capable of sending and re-
ceiving data over a data link, such as a telephone
line or a RS232 cable. Some terminals, such as the
Omni 37xx, can print receipts and display informa-
tion and graphics on a screen.
Terminal ID An alphanumeric code that identifies a
terminal to a download computer. In this way, the
download computer can determine what data or ap-
plication programs to download to that terminal. For
VeriCentre downloads, the Omni 37xx terminal ID is
stored in the *ZT record in the CONFIG.SYS file.
This variable should not exceed 10 characters in
length. Not the same as PTID
Terminal-to-terminal application upload The
process of copying the application memory contents
of one terminal to the application memory of another
terminal. A terminal-to-terminal application upload
requires that the terminals be connected to each oth-
er by a serial cable. See also Back-to-back applica-
tion download.
Tone dialing Also called touch-tone dialing . A
method of telephone dialing that uses different
pitched tones to specify a phone number. See also
DTMF.
