FTP Server Function

Working as a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, DV40 can send and receive BWF and SDII files to and from a client PC using TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). When sending and receiving data, a FTP client application is required.

<Notes>

•Audio file can be transferred only while the DV40 is stopped (however, it is possible to log in only while the DV40 is running).

•Set the [CONTROL] switch on the DV40 front panel to "REMOTE" when using the FTP function. If the [CONTROL] switch is set to "LOCAL", the FTP function does not work (however, you can log in even if the switch is set to "LOCAL").

•While transferring audio file data, the display shows "TCP CONNECTED" and all key operations are disabled. To interrupt the data transfer, send the "abort" command from the FTP client or alter the [CONTROL] switch on the DV40 front panel to "LOCAL".

•When the DV40 is in the initial condition, you can log in even if you do not enter the login name and password.

To control logging in, enter the desired login name and password in the TCP/IP Setup menu. See "Chapter 15: Setup mode" for details about how to set them.

Connection

When connecting DV40 to a client PC, a “Category 5” cable which complies to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX must be used. If DV40 is directly connected to a client PC, a cross cable must be used. In the case DV40 is connected to a client PC via hub, a straight cable must be used. When DV40 recognizes a client PC, the “LINK” LED on the DV40 rear panel is lit solid.
