Saving Configuration Changes in Flash Memory
The terminals use two copies of the configuration:
Runtime or RAM configuration is the current or active set of parameters and options
enabled on the terminal. The configuration is stored in RAM and will be lost if you boot
or reset the terminal.
Boot or flash configuration is the set of parameters and options last saved in flash
memory. The configuration is stored in flash memory and will be saved and used if you
boot or reset the terminal.
Here are the four ways you can configure the terminal and how the configuration is
updated:
Configure the Terminal
Runtime or RAM
Configuration Updated?
Boot or Flash
Configuration Updated?
Using the TRAKKER Antares
2400 Menu System
Yes (see Note) Yes (see Note)
Scanning bar code labels Yes No
From a host application through
the serial port
Yes No
T2425 from the network
(DCS 300 or host)
Yes No
Note:
You are prompted to save your changes in RAM and flash as you exit the
Configuration Menu and the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. Your changes are
saved if you choose Yes at each screen.
If you configure the terminal by scanning bar code labels, through the serial port, or from
the network, you may want to save the changes in flash memory using one of these
methods:
• Scan or send the Save Configuration in Flash Memory reader command.
• Use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System.
To save configuration changes using the reader command
• Scan this bar code label:
Save Configuration in Flash Memory
*.+1*
*.+1*
Or, send the command
.+1
as the last command from the controller or host
application. For help, see Chapter 4, “Operating the Terminal in a Network.”
