File Receiver
Selects whether file reception is ON or OFF. When ON, an idle machine receives all file transfers
specifying a destination name that matches the configured receiver name. When OFF, the machine
does not receive file transfers.
Echo During Receive
Selects whether received data is passed through to the digital output. The ON selection is useful when
machines are daisy-chained for file transfer. Note that any machine in a daisy-chain that is playing or
recording can not echo file transfer data to subsequent machines. The OFF selection prevents file
transfer data from being echoed through the digital output.
Note that when File Receive and Echo are both ON and the digital audio outputs are in use, pops or
clicks may be heard on equipment monitoring the digital outputs when Cuts start or stop. This is due
to the master sample clock switching between the digital input (necessary to monitor the input for D-
NET transfers) and the internal sample clock (to control playback). This in turn causes the digital
audio transmitter to resynchronize. This is unavoidable; turn off Echo or File Receive when using the
Digital outputs.
Receiver Input
Selects either the RCA or the XLR-3 digital input connector for receiving files.
Receiver Name
This field specifies an optional name for addressing the receiver during file transfer. A blank name
causes a machine to receive all file transfers regardless of the Receiver Name specified by the
transmission (provided the destination Drive and Directory are correct).
Leading and trailing blanks in names are not allowed and are removed whenever a name is saved.
When sending to a specific location instead of sending to a Mail Box, the destination Drive defaults
to '1', the destination Directory defaults to '0' and the destination Index defaults to the Index of the
currently selected Cut in the source machine. Applicable portions of the destination disk location may
be edited by the user.
Transfers To Accept
This menu determines whether transfers can be made to locations outside of the Mail Box are
accepted. The MAIL BOX ONLY choice causes the receiver to accept transfers with a destination
location of MAIL BOX and to reject transfers to specific locations. The ALL choice causes the
receiver to accept MAIL BOX transfers as well as transfers to specific locations.
Backup Drive and Backup Bank Procedure
Backup Drive and Backup Bank operate in a similar manner. Backup Bank transmits only the Cuts
assigned in the currently selected Bank, the Hot-Key assignments and the Playlist. Select the Bank to
be backed up before beginning the operation. The Bank will always be Restored to the same Bank
number that it came from.
From the FILE TRANSFER menu select BACKUP DRIVE and press E NTER .
The M ENU button begins to flash and the display shows:
