Installing Application Software on Flash Disk
Note: LWP.HEX version 3.03 or greater is required on the 6840 for this
process. If you are not sure of the terminal’s hex version, boot
(initialize) the 6840. The hex version is displayed for approximately 5
seconds during the initialization process.
Installing application software on the 6840 flash disk includes downloading a HEX file to the
6840, using SENDHEX on the PC and a batch file (_L.BAT) that runs Program Loader on
the terminal, then re-initializing the terminal. On the initial boot after a software download,
the 6840 copies the software files on to the flash disk, and remembers that the copy occurred,
ensuring that it is not repeated each time the WWC is booted.
The hardware required for performing the download includes:
t 6840 terminal
t configuration cradle (38/6860, 38/6865, or 38/6866)
t DOS PC
t RS-232 serial null modem cable
Initiate Host Communications on the PC
To update the hex image:
1. Power on the host computer.
2. On the PC, change to the directory where the application’s hex file is stored and type
the following command at a DOS prompt:
SENDHEX <file name> 384 [1|2]<ENTER>
