Working with SCSI Disks

MGW 2400 requires a SCSI disk to save streams to file. MGW 2400 is equipped with an Ultrawide SCSI port, which can connect to SCSI disks.

To prepare and connect a SCSI disk:

1.Format the SCSI disk on a separate PC in NTFS or FAT

(not FAT32) format. If you wish, you can divide the SCSI disk into several partitions.

2.Create folders on the SCSI disk using the DOS-Shell command MD. Copy clips to the SCSI disk. You may delete unused folders by using the DOS-Shell command RD.

3.Make sure that MGW 2400 is switched off.

4.Connect the accordingly prepared SCSI disk to MGW 2400’s SCSI port.

5.Switch MGW 2400 on again; MGW 2400 is now ready to transmit prerecorded clips. The SCSI disk's default drive is drive D. Additional SCSI disk partitions are labeled in alphabetical order starting with drive E.

For instructions on sharing SCSI disk partitions, refer to page 42.

Note

Remember that you may log on to MGW 2400 from the Configuration PC via RS-232 or from any computer on the network via Telnet.
