Setting Up Ethernet Audio Directories
Ethernet Audio uses a defined scheme to make audio files available to DigiCarts on the network. This section
describes the required setup for server directories useable by DigiCart/E recorders. The illustrations of the
Microsoft Windows 2000 Explorer are for reference only. Drive letters, directory and file names, and the
layout of the Explorer window can be changed to suit your needs.
Creating Net Drive Directories
In this example, drive F: is a RAID array where all Ethernet Audio data will reside.
You may create as many directories as you wish. Each of these directories can be selected from a list when
using the Mount Network Drive utility on a DigiCart/E recorder.
You must log on as Administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to share folders.
NFS shared directories on the server appear as Network Drives to DigiCarts. There is no limit to the number
of directories on a drive. This provides the opportunity to group files together in any way that suits your
application. For example, you may choose to collect your entire music library under the “Music” directory. It
might also be useful to collect all the elements used in a particular production under a single directory, such as
“Morning Show.” Individual artists, producers or editors might also keep personal directories of their work.
At this point, a new directory folder has been created on the server. In order for DigiCart/E to find the new
directory on its search path, the directory properties must be configured so that the server can share it.
Move the mouse pointer over the directory folder icon and Right-click to bring up a pop-up menu. Choose
Properties.
