**VERIFYING FILES**

**AUTHENTIC**
or
--- FAILED ---
When the OS download is complete, the terminal restarts
automatically. The file authentication module on the
receiving terminal begins to check for new certificate
(*.crt) and signature (*.p7s) files included in the
download. These special files then process one at a time;
certificates process first, then signature files.
When the file authentication module is invoked, the status
display informs you of the progress of the file
authentication process. If file authentication succeeds for a
specific certificate, the “
AUTHENTIC” message is displayed
directly below the certificate filename. If file authentication
fails for a specific certificate, the “
FAILED” message is
displayed 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.

**VERIFYING FILES**
CHECK CERTIFICATE
(FILENAME.CRT)
**AUTHENTIC**
or
--- FAILED ---
The file authentication module continues to authenticate
new signature files downloaded with the OS files.
When the signature file authentication routine starts, the
status display informs you of the progress of the
authentication process.
If file authentication succeeds for a specific signature file,
the “
AUTHENTIC” message is displayed directly below the
filename of the signature file. If file authentication fails for a
specific signature file, the “
FAILED” message is displayed
for five seconds below the filename and the terminal
beeps three times, allowing you to note which signature
file failed to authenticate. The authentication process then
proceeds to the next signature file until all signature files
are validated.
When all new signature files are authenticated, the
terminal restarts and begins processing the new OS (full
download) or it returns control to Verix Terminal Manager
(partial download).
If you are performing a partial download, the terminal does
not restart until you manually press the 4 key in
VERIX
TERMINAL MGR MENU 1
. If an application resides on the
terminal following the OS download, it executes on restart.
Note: Because a full OS download clears the I: drive, all
terminal applications, related certificates, and
signature files must download to the terminal
when performing this type of download.
