2.Load all applications and files to clone on the server terminal’s C drive.

3.Run the clone application on the server unit.

a.From the Main Menu, select System Menu, and then select Clone Unit.

b.Select Server.

4.Connect COM1 on the server terminal to COM1 on the client terminal using the cloning cable (Part No. 216-909-001) (sold and ordered separately).

The cloning process automatically begins once you connect the terminals. The client terminal lists the applications when cloning is complete.

5.On the server terminal, press Eto exit. You can also configure another terminal by connecting it to the server terminal.

Configuring Drives and Memory on the Terminal

The 243X come with a 750K flash drive (C), 512K RAM reserved for applications, and an additional 2MB extended flash memory. You can customize the terminal to your needs by configuring

up to 256K of the 512K RAM as a RAM drive.

the additional 2MB flash memory to either store double-byte fonts or to use as a 2MB drive.

Configuring the RAM Drive

The 243X has a total of 512K RAM for the application execution space. You can configure up to 256K of the total 512K application execution space as a RAM drive. If the RAM drive is configured, your application execution space is reduced by the amount of the RAM drive.
