DDL Command Line
File
If you need to specify more variables than what the DOS command line allows,
you can use a simple configuration file (-F option) to extend the length of the
command line. A command line file is an ASCII text file that allows you to supply
as many variables as required.
DDL Example
Download the file app.tgz using the PC’s COM port 2 (app.tgz is a binary file).
DDL -p2 -iapp.tgz
Each line in the command line file should consist of one variable:
-p2 app.tgz
The command line would be:
DDL -F<filename>
Downloading
without an Onboard
Application
Use the following procedure to perform a download from a host PC to an P200 or
P400 PINpad with no application installed. The PINpad must be powered on to
begin the procedure.
1 Make all cable connections.
2 Launch the DDL application on the host PC.
3 Enter System mode using a secure password.
4 Tap Update panel on the main System mode menu.
5 Tap Serial panel tab to perform direct download to the PINpad.
6 Select the COM Port (COM1).
7 Select Baud Rate to start download process.
Asterisks (*) display on screen to indicate the state of the download. Each asterisk
denotes approximately 10% completion. On download completion, the PINpad
returns to the main screen.
Network Download
Utility
Network Download transfers files from a PC to the PINpad. A network download
client, included with the SDK, must be installed onto a PC. Before the file transfer
can begin, the network settings must be configured and then the transfer starts by
tapping the “Netloader” under Transfer.
[config-data] Specifies PINpad or application environment variables. If the
specified variable exists, it is replaced by the new value;
otherwise, a new entry is created.
For example, the string *ZR=TERMID sets the value of the
PINpad identifier variable to “TERMID”.
Note: To remove an existing entry, use an empty string.
For example, *ZT= “ “ removes the *ZT variable.
