Release Notes
1) When downloading AutoDL to a terminal other than those listed in the Software/Hardware
Requirements and/or with new OS version, you may experience AutoDL not activating. If this is
the case, please set the following config sys parameter in GID 1:

TERMOVERRIDE = OS version of the closest terminal

Example scenario: AutoDL was downloaded to a Vx680 3G terminal with OS QT6G0240. In this
scenario, AutoDL did not activate. Set TERMOVERRIDE in GID 1 with the OS version of the closest
terminal alike, let say Vx680 GPRS.

TERMOVERRIDE = QT680240

Guidelines on using the keypad to navigate AutoDL screens in Desktop and VxGUI mode

1) In AutoDL Settings screen, the last character in the edit box may be deleted when Cancel key is
pressed. This happens when the focus is on the edit box. Note that the actual value is not
deleted. Another way to cancel the changes or return to the previous screen is to press the
Cancel button.
2) On a non-touch screen color terminal, the user needs to press Cancel key twice while in menu
screen in order to go back to the previous screen.
3) On all color terminals, the user needs to move the focus away from the edit box and on the form
before pressing Cancel key to go back to the previous screen. To move the focus on the form, the
user needs to touch outside the edit box or press the direction keys.
4) Pressing Enter key after inputting data in edit box may take you to the previous screen. This
behavior is the same as pressing the Save button. To continue with editing, use the touch screen
or direction keys to change the focus to the next edit box. Do this until all changes are done and
then press the Save button or Enter key.
5) In AutoDL settings screen on non-touch screen terminals, focus set on the last edit box is not
visible when navigated down for the first time, by pressing down key. User needs to press down
key again to focus on the button and then press up key to focus on the last edit box.
