The Netlinx Studio Project; Transferring Cd/Dvd Title Information To The Master Via Ftp - AMX AXT-CA10 Instruction Manual

Using the DXP-PRO Wizard
The CD titles list must be downloaded using an FTP program. There are many of
these available on the web, most of them freeware. Connect to the Master and
download all of the required files into the root directory (top-most directory) of the
Master.

The NetLinx Studio Project

Building the project can be accomplished by compiling Main.axs, or selecting Build Active
System. Be sure that you are compiling the project for NetLinx. The system should compile for
NetLinx by default. Download the NetLinx program to the NetLinx Master along with all IR files
and touch panel files, and reboot the Master.
Use the following steps:
1. Build the project. This can be accomplished by compiling Main.axs, or by selecting Build
Active System. Be sure that you are compiling the project for NetLinx. The system should
compile for NetLinx by default.
2. Transfer the NetLinx program to the NetLinx Master along with all IR files and touch panel
files by selecting Tools > Files Transfer (from the Main menu).
3. Click the Add button from the Send tab of the File Transfer dialog.
4. From within the Current Workspace tab of the Select Files for File Transfer dialog; place a
checkmark adjacent to the active project files that you want to add to the transfer.
5. Click OK to return to the Send tab.
6. Click Send to begin the upload process to the target Master. The application will open the File
Transfer Status tab from within the lower window on the application. The fields within that tab
show the progress of each file component and whether the transfer was successful.
7. After the last file has been uploaded to the Master, the Master should reboot. If it does not,
reboot the NetLinx Master by selecting Tools > Reboot the Master Controller (from the
Main menu).

Transferring CD/DVD Title Information to the Master via FTP

Anytime that you assign text to any type of preset button in your project, you must transfer the
button text that appears on the buttons in Design XPress to the NetLinx Master, in order to display
the button text on the panel(s) in the system. This is true for CD and DVD Titles. Use File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) to transfer the files.
It is recommended that you complete and then build your Project (in Design XPress)
and transfer it to the Master before you FTP the preset button text files to the Master.
The Master should be rebooted after a transfer.
If the FTP process was interrupted, some information might not be correctly
transferred. An example of this occurs when a "no CDs/DVDs are defined" message
appears on-screen when accessing the CD/DVD name listings. Try the FTP transfer
process again.
