File System Specification
The terminal provides file systems on different hardware devices. Instead of using the common
alphabet notation for file system devices (‘A:’, ‘C:’), the Genus terminal identifies the file storage
devices as:
Storage Device
Memory size
Location
‘\flashdisk’
40 Mbytes
Seldom write, frequent read.
Used for firmware, user
applications, and application data.
‘\ramdisk’
2 Mbytes
High read/write usage. Data is
preserved through power loss.
Often used for transaction
(punch) storage.
‘\scratchdisk’
5 Mbytes
High read/write usage.
Temporary file storage. Not
preserved through power outage.
The Genus Terminal uses the ‘\ramdisk’ location to store transactions. This location has
approximately 1MB of storage available for transactions (punches). Refer to the reference section for
Calculating Number of Transactions That Can Be Stored.

UPS Options
The Genus G2 Terminal provides UPS options.
UPS Module. The 2050-012 module provides backup
power to the Genus G2 terminal, and integrated readers
and communications options in the event of a main power
failure and brownout conditions.
Battery. The 2050-012 module uses a Ni-Cd 8-cell
arrangement (9.6V @ 1000 mAh) to provide DC backup
power to the processor and I/O modules. It has a wide
charging voltage range (+15VDC to +24VDC
unregulated). The battery will have a full charge after 20
hours at a trickle charge rate.

Wall Mount Installation & Recommended Height
Ethernet Connection
Power and UPS Connections
Close & lock the Terminal and Store the Key
Power Up
Once installation is complete and the terminal is plugged in, several displays with the following
messages appear in sequence during the normal G2 Terminal power-up process. In addition, during
power-up, the Genus G2 terminal executes an internal firmware test.
Genus Loader Display
Genus Loader will display with program and version numbers at the top of the screen.
For more information on the Loader Setup, refer to the reference section in this document.
Power-On Diagnostic Display
Genus G2 will display with program and version numbers at the top of the screen.

Online Mode
Following power-up, the terminal has completed the boot process and transitions to a Java application
that begins its functionality and data collection as defined by the user. Online Mode is the terminal’s
operational, default setting with the switch on the terminal’s backplate set in the right position.
If no user-defined program has been loaded, the terminal will display the CMI reader setup
application. Refer to Loading a Customer Defined Java Application in the Reference section of this
document.
Offline Mode
The Genus G2 terminal offline mode is utilized for initial setup and when any of the following options
require a change: communications, readers, security, time/date, terminal maintenance and terminal
administration. To enter Offline Mode, move the switch located on the backplate of the terminal to the
left position prior to power-up. This will reset the terminal and enter Offline Mode.
Note: If a transaction build is in process when the terminal is switched between
modes, this data will be lost.
The normal power-up displays will occur until the Starting:Setup displays message appears, followed
by the Terminal Information screen. This provides basic terminal hardware information. At this point
the terminal stops and waits for keypad entry, as shown below, unless a PIN number has been setup,
then the terminal will request a PIN.
