Omni 3600 Download Differences

MNI 3600 REFERENCE MANUAL 67

In the following example, GID1 is selected as the target group for the download.

The download list loads FOO.OUT into Group 1 RAM, GOO.OUT into GID2, and

the shared library, COMN.LIB, into GID15. When the terminal restarts after the

download, the file authentication module is invoked for all three files, based on the

certificate data that authorizes them to be stored in their respective file groups.

If FOO.OUT is authenticated, the GID1 application, FOO.OUT, executes, as

specified by the *GO variable, when the terminal restarts following successful file

authentication. The function library stored in GID15 can be shared by both

applications, as both Group 1 and Group 2 applications can access Group 15:

FOO.OUT

FOO.P7S

*GO=FOO.OUT

SETGROUP.2

GOO.OUT

GOO.P7S

SETGROUP.15

COMN.LIB

COMN.P7S

Using DDL.EXE to Automatically Redirect Files

The version of DDL.EXE included in the Omni 3600 SDK allows you to change the

default drive and file group for a direct download by preceding the filename(s) on

the DDL command line with a special filename. The syntax is as follows:

SETDRIVE.<drive letter>

where, drive letter is I: (RAM, default) or F: (flash), and/or

SETGROUP.<group number>

where, group number is 1–15.

For example, the following command-line entry:

DDL SETDRIVE.F cardco.lib SETDRIVE.I SETGROUP.15 card.dat

downloads the executable file cardco.lib into the flash of the selected target

group and the data file card.dat into Group 15 RAM. (Because drive or group

settings apply to all files that follow in the list, it is necessary to use SETDRIVE.x

to reset the drive from F: back to I:.)

If you are using this DDL.EXE method, zero-length SETDRIVE.x and

SETGROUP.n files do not need to exist as files on the download computer.

NOTE

You can only use zero-length SETGROUP.x files for batch application downloads,

either direct or telephone, and only using the Download Manager or ZonTalk 2000

download tools (not DDL.EXE). You cannot use this special file convention for

operating system downloads or back-to-back application downloads.
