Sharing objects on a file server
The generator can be set up to access shared format, image, and sequence files stored
on a file server. To do this, you must set the generator’s path to point to the corresponding
folders on the file server. You can set the path using the command line interface or the
front panel.
To set the generator’s path using the command line interface:
1. Establish a session with the generator using either HyperTerminal over a serial
connection or Telnet over an Ethernet LAN. See “Establishing a terminal session with
the generator” on page 31 or “Establishing a Telnet session with the generator” on page
34.
2. For each file type (format, image, and sequence), set the path parameter to the
corresponding folder on the file server using the following commands:
FMTP hostname:/Library/Formats
IMGP hostname:/Library/Images
SEQP hostname:/Library/Sequences
For example if your file server host name is Host01, you would enter the following
command to set the format path to the Formats directory on the file server:
FMTP Host01:/Library/Formats
Note: The hostname portion of the path is case sensitive.
The generator will now display the formats on the file server when you press the
Source key.
To set the generator’s path using the front panel:
1. Place the generator in Browse mode by holding down the Tools key until the media
menu appears on the generator’s display as shown below.
2. Choose the NetPlace item by pressing the adjacent soft key. The folders on the file
server appear on the generator’s display as shown below.
