Using the File Transfer Feature
The file transfer feature of the Bitronics switch allows both computers to
connect as if there were a file transfer cable connected between them. To
do this, double-click on the Bitronics switch system tray icon, click on File
Transfer, and click OK. The LED of the corresponding computer port on the
Bitronics switch will turn green. This LED represents the computer you are
on now is set for file transfer mode.
Next, the second PC must also perform the same operation. When both sets
of PC LEDs on the Bitronics switch are green, then the computers are ready
for file transfer. At this point, the cables and the Bitronics switch act as if it
were a file transfer cable. You can now run programs such as Windows®
Direct Cable Connection, or LapLink®. Please refer to their user manuals or
websites for information on how to configure their software. Just remember
that your Bitronics switch setup mimics the file transfer cable requirement.
NOTE: Computer 1 can only file transfer to computer 2, and computer
3 can file transfer to computer 4. If you change the ports
manually using the buttons, the changes made will not be
reflected in the software.
