Y
of the file contains the body of the e-mail. For the System 5 IP, these files are
numerically named (1 through 64). For example, 1.eml, 2.eml, 3.eml,... 64.eml.
___.evt — These are event files, the most important files for the functioning of the
switcher. Everything the System 5 IP does is coordinated by the scripts in the
main event file, 0.evt, which directs all the actions and responses of the
switcher. The other event files perform device driver functions. When the
Windows-based configuration program creates event files, it names (numbers)
the files according to port associations. For example, the main event file, 0.evt,
contains instructions for the switcher’s internal operations, while 5.evt and
8.evt are related to IR/Serial output ports A and D, respectively.
CAUTION Event files should NOT be deleted. They are necessary for the switcher’s
operation. Never delete the main event file (0.evt).
Files stored on the PC only and used to generate files for the switcher
________.pke and ________.pkg — These are packages of Extron-created device
drivers from which event files are derived. These package files are not stored
in the System 5 IP, so you do not see them in the file manager page. However,
they are needed by the PC during setup.
________.s19 — This is an Extron-supplied firmware update file. When the
firmware is replaced, the switcher is also automatically reset to factory default
settings. This file is not displayed on the file manager page. See appendix B
for details on firmware updates.
File Management buttons and when to use them
Delete — Clicking one of these buttons causes the file listed next to it to be
removed from the switcher. This function should be used only for deleting
extra IR driver files (___.eir) for devices that have been removed from the
system or placed in the switcher as duplicates.
CAUTION Event files should NOT be deleted. They are necessary for the switcher’s
operation. Never delete the main event file (0.evt).
Delete All — Click this button only if you want to completely erase the switcher’s
configuration including all settings, driver functions, non-embedded Web
pages, and any other files stored on the System 5.
Upload — Select this option only if a new file must be stored in the switcher and it
cannot be added/uploaded via Global Configurator. This option is mainly for
uploading user-designed Web pages into the System 5. Click the Browse
button to locate and select the file before clicking Upload.
