Starting an Application When the FTA Terminates
When the host computer is the client, the host computer can identify an
application that will be started automatically on the device when the FTA is
terminated on the device.
For example, you finish transferring binary files to the device, close the
connection between the host computer and device, and terminate the FTA on
the device. Next, you may want to restart the PSK application that was running
on the device when the host computer issued the Prepare for Reboot
command.
To automatically start an application when the FTA terminates
1. From the host computer, issue a command that sets the device’s DOS
environment variable IM_APPLICATION to an application on the device.
For help, see your DCM or IS documentation.
2. Terminate the FTA on the device. The %IM_APPLICATION% command in
the device’s AUTOEXEC.BAT executes, running the specified command on
the device. For help, see “Defining the Startup Files” in Chapter 3.
Using FTA Commands on the Device
When the device is the client, you can use these FTA commands:
CHECKHOST LUPGRADE
CLOSE OPEN
EXIT PUT
GET RUPGRADE
HELP SERVER
Typing FTA Commands on the Device
You can use the FTA commands on the device by:
• typing a command at the FTA prompt. (The FTA prompt appears when
you run the FTA by typing
fta
at the device’s DOS prompt.)
• typing one or more commands in a batch file.
• typing one or more commands on the DOS command line. Use a semicolon
(;) between each command. For example, type this command and press
@
to open an FTA session, get a file from the host, and exit the session:
e:\> fta o; g filename; e
where filename is the path and name of the file to be transferred.
