The H13 is used in combination with a cradle (typically [[CRDH13]]) in order to charge the H13's removable battery, transfer data serially to a host (using plain ASCII, XModem, or Opticon's [[NetO]]), and load new OS revisions and applications (using Opticon's [[Appload]]). Other types of cradles exist, including a dialup modem cradle and a GSM cradle, which H13 applications can utilize with Opticon's [[TCP/IP Library]]. |

All of Opticon's Demo Applications for the H13 support downloading of data through Opticon's proprietary protocol called NetO (Net-Oh). As with all communications there are two sides. In this case these are the terminal (the H13) and the host (usually a PC). This section covers setting up and using such a communication channel. |

===Install Drivers and Appload===
|
| - |
Appload is a PC application that we use to load firmware on most of Opticon's devices. Once it is installed (by running the installer found in the Downloads table at the bottom of the page) it will launch automatically. Change the options 'Settings' > 'Port' to match the COM port of either the USB or RS232 interface (whichever was used). You may also need to change 'Settings' > 'IrDA Adapter/cradle type' to be 'Not Installed'.

====Installing USB Drivers====
|
| |
|
+ |
If you are using RS232 or you have already installed the USB Drivers please skip to Installing Appload. Opticon's USB drivers need to be installed for the cradle to be properly via USB.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Download the USB drivers by clicking here .
|
| |
|
+ |
# Open the zip file by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Launch the installer by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Follow the prompts to finish the installation.
|

|

|

|

====Installing Appload====
|
| |
|
+ |
Appload is Opticon's multi-purpose utility for installing firmware onto devices such as the H13. To install Appload follow the steps below.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Download Appload by clicking here .
|
| |
|
+ |
# Open the zip file by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Launch the installer by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Follow the prompts to finish the installation.
|
| |
|
+ |
===Configuring Appload===
|
| |
|
+ |
This section outlines how to configure Appload to communicate with the H13.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
====Select COM port====
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select Settings
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select Port
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select the appropriate Port number so that it will match the COM port of either the USB or RS232 interface (whichever was used).
|
| |
|
+ |
## If you are using an RS232 interface the physical serial port is usually assigned COM1 by Windows so if you are using an RS232 interface this is likely your COM port number.
|
| |
|
+ |
## If you are using a USB interface then select the COM port will usually be a number between 2 and 250. It should identify itself as an Opticon device.
