DOWNLOADING NOW
Initiate the download by executing the proper command(s) in the download
tool running on the host computer (when the receiving terminal is prepared
to receive the direct OS download). The data transfer operation starts and
status messages display on the terminal screen. The progress of the
download is indicated by a series of ten asterisks (each asterisk indicates

or else
--- FAILED ---
When the OS download is complete, the terminal restarts automatically.
The file authentication module on the receiving terminal then checks for
new certificate (*.crt) and signature (*.p7s) files included in the download. It
processes these special files one at a time; certificates are processed first,
then signature files.
When the file authentication module is invoked, the progress of the file
authentication process displays. If file authentication succeeds for a
specific certificate, the “
AUTHENTIC” message displays directly below the
certificate filename. If file authentication fails for a specific certificate, the
“
FAILED” message displays for five seconds below the filename and the
terminal beeps three times, allowing you to note which certificate failed to
authenticate.
The authentication process then continues to the next certificate until all
new certificates are checked.
