MX-4 DV USER GUIDE

CHAPTER 13

6Click Tools and select Disconnect. Upon exiting this FTP program, the software will transfer to the MX-4 DV. You can also select File and select Upload and go to the directory of desktop and select the previously saved software.

7To activate the new software, recycle the power on the MX-4 DV (power off and power on).

8To verify the new software version, hold down the SHIFT key and press the #9 key. (Press SHIFT and the #9 key again to return to the Preview screen.)

NOTE

The software file is approximately 3.0 Mbytes in size. With a 56K modem, it takes about 15 minutes to download the software to your computer. ISDN, DSL, and cable modems should take less time.

Information About FTP Clients

Many http Internet browsers support the FTP protocol, but they can vary in operation. You may be able to access your MX-4 DV by just typing “FTP://000.000.000.000”, where the zeros are your unique IP address. Internet browsers are also more difficult to use when the FTP host (your MX-4 DV) is set to require a password. For this reason FOCUS Enhancements suggest that you use a “real” FTP client, such as ws_ftp (Windows Shareware), or Fetch (Macintosh). The MX-4 DV net- working feature was designed to be reliable in providing one-on-one connections, not in support- ing multiple clients.
