FTP File Transfers

The MAXX-2400HD connects over Gigabit Ethernet using an RFC-1359 compliant FTP server. File transfers to and from the server are managed from an FTP client file transfer program running on a Windows® or Macintosh® computer. This provides a rapid way to execute drag-and-drop file transfers; it can also manage many servers at once and does not tie up the server GUI, which may already be in use. Table 2 indicates the supported FPT client list.

Table 2 - Supported FTP Clients

FTP programs may also be used to move recorded or edited material between a server and Network Attached Storage (NAS) or a DVD-ROM library.

From a networking or system-integration viewpoint, the server appears as a normal FTP server in any size network, with the exception that it may only send, receive, or store video files that are compatible with the server.

The server is designed to be used in a private dedicated video network. A firewall must be used in systems that require internal security or connection to public networks. Consult with a network security specialist for guidance on the best hardware, programming and practices for your facility’s requirements.

Gigabit Ethernet Cable Quality

The high data rates generated by Gigabit Ethernet require high-quality cable designed for this application. Low-quality network cables can result in high error rates and lower transmission speed. For Gigabit operation, standard CAT-5 cable should be used only for very short cable runs.

New Category 5e (enhanced) cables ensure maximum transfer rates, and should be used as the minimum standard. Category 6 cable is a good choice for applications where longer cable runs are required.

Configuring the FTP Interface

Before logging in to the server’s FTP server, the network must be configured according to the local network topology. This is primarily a matter of setting a static IP address or configuring

the server to use DHCP to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Refer to page 54 for details on configuring the network settings.
