FTP Client Configuration

There are a number of FTP clients available for both PC and Macintosh platforms.
This generic example may not exactly reflect the settings for your particular FTP
client software, but it should be close enough to get you on the right track if you’re
having difficulty.

1. Create a new account for connecting

to the MDR24/96.

2. If there is a “Profile” or “Account”

name setting, choose a name like
MDR.

3. For “Host” (Name/Address), use the

MDR IP address you decided on
earlier. In the default case the MDR
IP address is 10.10.28.20.

4. If you must choose a “Host Type,” select “Anonymous Login”.

5. If there is a “Password” setting, you can leave it blank. The anonymous

setting will automatically send something that the MDR will ignore.

6. If there is a “Directory” setting, set it to “C” for the internal drive, or “E”

for the external.

7. The Subnet setting on your computer should be set the same as the

MDR24/96.

8. You should now be able to engage the “Connect” command and see the

contents of the MDR24/96’s hard drive. The internal hard drive is C: and
the external hard drive is E:.

9. Now you can copy files from the MDR24/96 to your computer, or from your

computer to the MDR24/96. Refer to your FTP client program for details.

Troubleshooting

If you feel your settings are correct, but the computer just won’t see the MDR24/96,
try a different FTP program. There are many available and sometimes one just
won’t work with a particular configuration of computer and Ethernet card. Using a
different program may be the only solution.

Networking Glossary

Here you will find a short description of some of the features (and acronyms, of
course) of the Network setup:

TCP/IP

TCP/IP is the acronym for Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
These combined protocols provide the language and guidelines for computers
communicating on a network. Transport Control Protocol might be considered
the method by which computers talk and the Internet Protocol is the assigned
number system by which computers are distinguished. An IP address is a
numeric identifier in the format 123.456.789.000. Each computer that is
attached to the Internet (WAN/Wide Area Network) must have a unique IP
address so it may be identified. Likewise, in a closed networking environment
(LAN or Local Area Network), a unique IP address must be assigned to each
computer that communicates on the network.

Note: A folder named

“System,” and files en-

titled “mackieos.EXE”

and “PME.SYS”, nor-

mally hidden on the

MDR 24/96 file man-

agement listings, will

be visible on the FTP

listing of the C: drive.

These are part of the

operating system and

should be left intact.

Do not delete any of

these files from the

MDR 24/96 hard drive!
