Intermec 2480 User Guide

You can use three different methods to download the TE configuration file:

•

FileCopy through a serial connection from your T2480 or T2485 to your PC

•

The Download Server feature on the DCS 300 or controller to a T2480 or T2485
loaded with UDP Plus protocol

•

The TFTP application on a PC or host to a T2480 or T2485 loaded with TCP/IP
protocol

This section covers the first two methods. To use the TFTP application, see the
TRAKKER Antares 248X Stationary Terminal User’s Manual.

1. Connect the T2480 or T2485 to a PC using COM1, COM2, or COM4 on the back

of the T2480 or T2485. For help, see the terminal user’s manual.

2. Use FileCopy to download the TE configuration file from your PC to the terminal’s

drive C. For help using FileCopy, use the online Help.

1. Configure your T2480 with Ethernet or your T2485 to communicate with the DCS

300 or Model 200 Controller. For help, see the terminal user’s manual.

2. Using the Download Server feature on the DCS 300 or controller, select the T2480

or T2485 that you want to download the TE configuration file to. You can also
select a group of terminals. For help, see the DCS 300 System Manual (Part No.
067296) or Model 200 Controller System Manual (Part No. 063439).

3. Choose the Command option button.

4. Enter the Receive File reader command and choose Add. The command appears in

the Files and Data box.

.%R,

For example, to upload the TE configuration file for VT/ANSI, enter the following
command:

.%R,teant.cfg,c:teant.cfg

5. Choose OK to save the Receive File reader command and return to Terminal

Download Configuration dialog box.

6. Choose Download to download the Receive File reader command to the T2480 or

T2485. The T2480 or T2485 will download the TE configuration file to the
terminal’s drive C.

If you already have a TE session running and you changed TE communications
parameters, you must restart your TE application for the changes to take effect.
