Transferring the Project

The method for transferring a project for the Soft-NA is described below.
The project for the Soft-NA can be transferred by the following two methods.
• Transferring via Ethernet.
• Transferring using media.
Note that the basic operation method is same as that for the NA5-series PT. For details, refer to Section
8 Synchronizing Projects in the NA-series Programmable Terminal Software User's Manual (Cat. No.
V118).
Additional Information
The Soft-NA does not support transfer via the USB.
Differences Concerning Transfer via Ethernet
The cautions to be taken during transfer via Ethernet are described below.
• The PC on which the Soft-NA is installed must be started beforehand.
Since the transfer process is implemented in the background, the project can be transferred even
without logging in to the system.
• Different projects cannot be transferred from each account.
Use the same project from all accounts.
• If a project is transferred when the Soft-NA is not running, the Soft-NA needs to be manually started.
If a project is transferred when the Soft-NA is not running, manually start the Soft-NA.
• The port number can be changed.
The port number can be changed to avoid conflict with other applications running on the PC.
Additional Information
When a project is transferred via Ethernet, it may not be possible to perform communication
normally because of the security function of the PC. In such a case, change the settings, such
as opening the required port.
Also, with regard to installation, discuss beforehand with the system administrator that there is
a possibility of occurrence of a security-related exception, such as opening of a required port
for the PC on which the Soft-NA is to be installed.
Differences Concerning Transfer Using Media
The precautions to take during transfer using media are as described below.
• Transfer can be performed from any folder in the PC.
When performing the transfer operation from the System Menu, it is possible to transfer the project
from any folder by selecting "Custom" at the time of specifying the Destination Media or Source
Media.
