buttons to select alternate menu items. Confirm your
option choice by pressing the
ENTER
button.
Receiver Names and Destination Names
Each DigiCart/E may be assigned a receiver name to identify it as the “target” for a file transfer from
another DigiCart. This is especially useful when multiple DigiCarts are daisy-chained for D-Net
transfers. When initiating a file transfer, enter the name of the intended receiver DigiCart on the
source DigiCart.
If a DigiCart/E is not assigned a receiver name, it will receive all transfers (sent with or without a
receiver name), provided the destination drive and directory are valid. For most systems, if you plan to
use receiver names, each unit should have a unique receiver name. Duplicate receiver names can be
assigned to units that are intended to be mirrored redundant backups.
Assigning a Receiver Name
To assign a receiver name select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility menu. Rotate
the
selection knob
until the RECEIVER NAME option appears. Press the
ENTER
button.
The display will prompt for a new Receiver Name.
Using the
selection knob
and the navigation arrow buttons, enter the new Receiver Name.
The name can have from 1 to 15 characters consisting of any combination of letters, digits,
dashes and spaces. Leading and trailing spaces are not significant and are removed when
the name is saved. When you have spelled out the new Receiver Name, press the
Right
NAVIGATION ARROW
button until the cursor is to the right of the last character in the new
destination name. Press the
ENTER
button to save the new name. The display will show
the new Receiver Name.
To erase a Receiver Name and allow a DigiCart/E to receive all transfers, regardless of
destination name select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility menu. Rotate the
selection knob
until the RECEIVER NAME option appears. Press the
ENTER
button
twice. The display will show the Receiver Name set to (NONE – RECEIVE ALL).
Echo Function
If your D-NET network is configured in a “Daisy Chain,” or loop, and the Echo Function is ON, you
will be able to relay the incoming transfer to the digital input of a DigiCart/E to the digital output on
that machine and on to the next DigiCart/E in the network.
To set ECHO DURING RECEIVE on a DigiCart/E select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility
menu. Rotate the selection knob
to set ECHO DURING RECEIVE to ON or OFF.
Confirm the setting by pressing
ENTER
, or abandon it by pressing
EXIT
.
