Number of files that have already been sent

Total number of files to be sent to all NSP-1 players in the group

Note that files already stored on the NSP-1, hence they will not be sent, are also included in these numbers.

See the “Checking Transfer Status” (next) for details on the operations required to check the transfer status and the status on the NSP-1 player.

Sending data from the Monthly Calendar window Periodic schedules can be sent from the Monthly Calendar window, too.

1 Check that the BZNP-D1 (PC) option button is selected in the main window, and select the destination group using the Group drop-down list box.

2 Select [View] > [Monthly Calendar] on the menu bar to open the Monthly Calendar window if is not opened, then display the month corresponding to the periodic schedule to be sent.

3 Right-click a date that is included in the period, then select [Send to NSP-1] on the popup menu.

The periodic schedule(s) for the right-clicked date are sent to the NSP-1 players in the selected group.

Hint

When the period of the periodic schedule to be sent contains more than one day, you can right-click any of the dates within the period.

And, periodic schedules for non playout days can be sent to the NSP-1 players in the same way.

If you attempt to send data when data transfer is prohibited

On the Network tab of the System Setup window, there is a setup item for specifying a time period in which you want to prohibit communication with the NSP-1 players.

If you attempt to send data within this time period, the BZNP-D1 software waits for data transfer to be enabled, and displays a message.

When that time period has passed, the BZNP-D1 software automatically starts sending the data you specified, and the message disappears.

Note that only limited functions can be used while the BZNP-D1 software is waiting for data transfer to be enabled. If you cancel the suspended data transmission operation, though, you can use any function of the software.
