1. A system comprising:

  • an encoded information reading (EIR) terminal;

    a terminal interface node;

    a docking station;

    wherein said EIR terminal is configured to establish a communication with said terminal interface node upon engaging to said docking station;

    wherein said EIR terminal is configured to upload data to said terminal interface node;

    wherein said EIR terminal is configured to transmit a terminal status message to said terminal interface node;

    wherein said terminal interface node is configured to transmit, responsive to receiving said terminal status message, a terminal reprogramming message to said EIR terminal, said terminal reprogramming message including at least one of;

    a binary file, a data file, a script file;

    wherein said EIR terminal is configured to execute, responsive to receiving said binary file, said binary file;

    wherein said EIR terminal is configure to update, responsive to receiving said data file, a software configuration parameter;

    wherein said EIR terminal is configured to execute, responsive to receiving said script file, said script file;

    wherein said terminal interface node is configured to complete a higher priority operation before executing a lower priority operation; and
