Transferring Files in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network
You can use an application on the host computer to transfer files and send data between
the terminal and host in a TCP/IP direct connect network. To initiate file transfers from
the host, you need to write a host application that can communicate directly with a
T2425. You use the file management reader commands such as Receive File and
Transmit File to transfer files between the T2425 and the host. For help, see Chapter 8,
“Reader Command Reference.”
To initiate file transfers from the terminal, you do not need to develop a host application
as described in this section. You can use the Receive File and Transmit File within a
terminal application or by scanning bar code labels. For help, see Chapter 8, “Reader
Command Reference.”
Note:
You can continue running an application on the T2425 while configuring the
terminal or transferring files from the host.
To use the built-in TFTP client on the T2425, you need the following:
• TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server must be running on the host.
• TFTP server must be running on at least a Pentium processor or equivalent.
• T2425 must be communicating with the host that is running the TFTP server.
• The TFTP server or some other application on the host must be able to send the
reader command on the network.
To transfer files or send configuration data from the host
1. Make sure the TFTP server is running on the host and the T2425 is communicating
with the host.
2. Start the host application that can send reader commands to the terminal.
3. Send the two-character TMF code, CS (Configuration Set request) followed by the
reader or configuration command. For help on TMF, see “Configuring the T2425 in
a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network” earlier in this chapter.
For example, to send the application
INVENTRY.BIN
from drive C on the host to
drive C on the T2425, enter this command:
CS.%R,c:inventry.bin,c:inventry.bin
For command information, see Chapter 8, “Reader Command Reference.”
