VERIX TERMINAL MANAGER
Local and Remote Operations
38 VX 675 REFERENCE GUIDE
Local and
Remote
Operations
The terminal manager operations available on a VX 675 terminal can be divided
into the following two categories or types:
• Local operations address a stand-alone terminal and do not require
communication or data transfers between the terminal and another terminal or
computer. Perform local Verix Terminal Manager operations to configure, test,
and display information about the terminal.
• Remote operations require communication between the terminal and a host
computer (or another terminal) over a cable connection. Perform remote Verix
Terminal Manager operations to download application software to the
terminal, upload software from one terminal to another, or download using a
service dongle from VeriCentre or from another download host.
This chapter contains descriptions on how to perform local Verix Terminal
Manager operations. For information on performing remote operations, such as
downloads, refer to the Performing Downloads section.
Verifying
Terminal Status
The VX 675 terminal you are using may or may not have an application program
running on it. After you have set up the terminal (refer to Terminal Setup) and the
terminal is turned on, use the following guidelines to verify terminal status
regarding software and current operating mode:
• If no application program is loaded into terminal memory, the message
DOWNLOAD NEEDED appears on the display screen.
• If an application program is loaded and *GO is set in the configuration file in
group 1 to the application’s name into terminal memory, an application-
specific prompt appears. The application is running and the terminal is in
normal mode. If all installation steps are complete, the terminal can process
transactions.
Entering Verix
Terminal
Manager
To prevent unauthorized use of the Verix Terminal Manager menus, the VX 675
terminal OS requires a system password each time you enter Verix Terminal
Manager. To access the Verix Terminal Manager password entry screen,
simultaneously press the
ENTER and 7 keys.The default, factory-set system
password is “166831.” Use the following key sequence to enter this password:
1 6 6 8 3 1 ENTER
After entering the correct password, the terminal enters the terminal manager and
displays the first terminal manager main menu. You can now cycle through all
Verix Terminal Manager main menus.
NOTE
From this point, press ENTER and 7 key simultaneously to access Verix Terminal
Manager and perform the required download.
