DRIVE 6 Network Drive Map
There is some overlap of Internal Hard Disk Partitions and Network Drive Maps available. For
example, if the internal disk is partitioned into three drives (No.s 1, 2, and 3), three drive numbers (4,
5, and 6) are available to map network drives. If the internal disk is not partitioned (is only Drive 1),
then drives 3, 4, 5, and 6 are available to map network drives; Drive 2 is not available in this case.
M OUNT N ETWORK D RIVE
DigiCart/E can attach to up to four network drives at a time. It should be helpful to think of these “virtual
drives” as individual projects, each with a set of ten subdirectories that can help you organize your studio.
There may be dozens of projects (or “virtual drives”) available on the network. Each time you start a new
project, simply create a new shared subdirectory on the server. Refer to the 360 Systems Ethernet Audio
Network Manual for a detailed explanation of creating new projects and virtual drives.
Multiple DigiCart/Es can attach to the same network drives. This scheme allows a network to be organized
with “central” network drives for a music library, sound effects, and commercials; and “project-specific”
network drives for individual productions, or individual people. With this powerful organizational scheme,
many DigiCart/Es can be connected to the central library drives and still connect to networked project-
specific drives from any studio on the network.
The Mount Network Drive utility is used to establish a link between an available drive number on
DigiCart/E and one of many available drives on the network. This link is called a ‘drive map’. The basic
process is to select a local drive number to be mapped, and then select a network drive to which it will be
linked. DigiCart/E will always have at least one drive number that can be mapped to the network, but
depending upon the number of drives assigned to local partitions, up to four drive numbers may be
available for network assignments (see the table above).
To Mount a Network Drive
Press UTILITY and select MOUNT NETWORK DRIVE, press ENTER . Select a local drive number to
link to the network, press ENTER . Scroll the list of available mount paths and press EXIT to link that
path to the DigiCart/E. Repeat this process to establish other links. Links may be changed, or deleted
at any time. If the network is not on-line when this is invoked, you can manually enter the path name.
To Dismount a Network Drive
Press UTILITY and select MOUNT NETWORK DRIVE, press ENTER . Select a local drive number to
unlink from the network, press ENTER . Use the knob to select the “NONE” option for the mount path
assignment and press ENTER . If the network is not on-line, you will be able to edit the mount path
name manually. Enter a blank name to dismount. Use the keyboard to erase the name of the network
drive, press ENTER to confirm. Note that pressing the left and right arrow buttons at the same time
