360 Systems DigiCart/EX - Manual (Page 84)

D-Net Setup
A D-NET transfer is always initiated at the Source DigiCart. However, both the Source and
Destination DigiCarts require setup.
You can access the File Transfer menu by selecting DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility menu.
Once in the File Transfer Setup menu, you’ll navigate through the options with the selection knob
and Navigation buttons. You’ll confirm selections with the
ENTER
button and cancel them by
pressing the
EXIT
button.
NOTE: Setup can be done from a 360 Systems RC-320 remote control or a keyboard. Please refer to
the operations manual of your remote control for complete instructions.
The following is a description of the File Transfer Setup options and how to set them.
D-NET Receiver
Setting the File Receiver enables or disables file reception on your DigiCart/EX. When set to
ON your DigiCart/EX will receive file transfers. When set to OFF, the machine will not receive
file transfers. Setup menu items, not related to D-Net, will not be displayed.
The E
XT S YNC indicator shows the state of the receiver when D-Net Receiver is on, or a D-Net
Receive is in progress. All other front panel indicators are turned off. E XT S YNC is off when
there is no signal at the receiver. The indication is on when there is a valid signal at the
receiver, and the indication blinks when there is a non-conforming signal at the receiver.
NOTE: DigiCart/EX automatically disables Input Monitor when File Receive is ON. It will
resume automatically when File Transfer is turned OFF. Input monitoring during Record Ready
is unaffected.
• To set the File Receiver on your DigiCart/EX select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility
menu. Rotate the selection knob to set DNET RECEIVER to ON or OFF.
• Confirm the setting by pressing
ENTER
, or abandon it by pressing
EXIT
.
Selecting the D-Net Input Connector
The DNET RECEIVER INPUT setting selects between BNC and XLR digital input connectors on
your DigiCart/EX.
• To set the File Receiver on your DigiCart/EX select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility
menu. Rotate the selection knob or use the
LEFT
and
RIGHT POSITION
buttons to set DNET
RECEIVER INPUT to BNC or XLR-3.
• Confirm the setting by pressing
ENTER
, or abandon it by pressing
EXIT
.
Mail Box and Destination Location Transfers
A convenient method for making D-NET transfers is to send to the “Mail Box” on the receiving
machine. For convenience, the Mail Box is always Directory 9. If you transfer to the Mail Box,
it will be stored in the next available index.
There are two significant benefits of transferring to the Mail Box:
• The transfer will never overwrite existing cuts in the Mail Box.
• A Receiver can be set up to accept ONLY those transfers addressed to its Mail
Box, thus enabling it to accept non-destructive transfers only.
