360 Systems DigiCart/II Plus - Manual (Page 87)

DigiCart/II Plus Owner's Manual File Transfer Network • 75
The recommended cable for use with AES-3 is balanced and shielded with a nominal
impedance of 110
Ω at frequencies from 0.1 to 6.0 MHz. The maximum recommended
cable run for file transfer using AES-3 is 100 meters.
D-NET Setup
A D-NET transfer is always initiated at the Source DigiCart/II Plus. However, both the
Source and Destination DigiCart/II Plus require setup. It will be clearly stated in this
Chapter whether a Setup Menu procedure refers to the source or destination DigiCart/II
Plus.
You can access the File Transfer menu by pressing the D-NET XFER button or selecting
FILE XFER MENU after pressing the UTILITY MENU button. Once in the File
Transfer Setup menu, you’ll navigate through the menus with the SELECT control and
the Left and Right POSITION buttons. You’ll confirm selections with the ENTER
button and cancel them by pressing the CANCEL button.
NOTE: Setup can be done from a 360 Systems RC-220 remote control or an RC-205
Mini-Keyboard. Please refer to the operations manual for your remote control for
complete instructions.
The following is a description of the File Transfer Setup menu items and how to set them.
Receiver Names And Destination Names
Your DigiCart/II Plus may be assigned a receiver name to identify it as the “target” for a
file transfer from another DigiCart/II Plus. When initiating a file transfer, (See “Making
A File Transfer” on pg. 79) the receiver name of the target DigiCart/II Plus will be
entered on the source DigiCart/II Plus as the destination name for the transfer.
If a DigiCart/II Plus is not assigned a receiver name, it will receive transfers with any or
no receiver name, provided the destination drive and directory are correct. For most
systems, if you plan to use receiver names, ALL units should have a receiver name
programmed.
Wildcard Transfers
A powerful feature of D-NET is the ability to perform wildcard transfers. A wildcard
transfer is a simultaneous, selective transfer to multiple machines. To enable a wildcard
transfer, the target machines must share a common component in their receiver names.
In your facility for example, you may need to simultaneously transfer from one
DigiCart/II Plus in a production room to all the DigiCart/II Pluses in master control.
Simply assign “MASTER 1, MASTER 2,…etc.” as receiver names on the machines in
master control. To make a wildcard transfer to all of the machines, use “MASTER *” as
the destination name on the source DigiCart/II Plus in the production room. The “*”
(asterisk) symbolizes the variable component on all of the receiver names of the
machines in master control.
If you set “*” only as the destination name for a transfer, the transfer will be made to
every DigiCart/II Plus that is enabled to receive transfers.
