LAYBACK
Firefly players can be updated in a variety of ways using a couple
different interfaces. These updating processes include both
automatic (minimal interaction) and manual methods.
Automatic Updating:
❏
FTP, HTTP & Multicast Auto-Update - allows regular
scheduled updating via FTP of any new media, playlists,
schedules and/or system updates.
Manual Updating:
❏
WebView - web-based interface that can be used to transfer
media from your computer and/or network to the Firefly, in
addition to being able to create, edit or delete playlists and/
or schedules on the Firefly.
❏
Direct File Access - accesses the Firefly directly with an
FTP client.
FTP Updating
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standardized convention to
deliver digital data via TCP/IP. TCP/IP is a set of common
network protocols for communicating digital data and is commonly
used by networking systems, such as the internet.
Using FTP, each Firefly can update itself automatically when
connected to a static network connection. New media, playlists,
schedules and/or system updates can be downloaded using this
connection to an FTP site. A static network connection may be a
DSL, cable modem, or a connection to a Local Area Network
