Multipoint Videographic Recorder
E.2 Testing a Network Connection
With the recorder connected to an Ethernet network (see
Section 7.9, page 120) and configured for use (see Section
6.4.5, page 69), use the MS-DOS
operation:
1. On the PC, click the 'Start' button on the task bar and
select 'Run'.
2. In the 'Open:' field, type 'cmd' and click the 'OK' button.
This displays a DOS window with the cursor at the default
drive prompt:
3. Type 'ping' followed by the IP address assigned to the
recorder and press Enter. A message is displayed in the
window indicating that a ping operation is sending 32
bytes of data to the specified address. If the connection
and address are correct, four replies are received, for
example:
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128
4. If a valid response is not received, check that the correct
IP address was entered and that the host PC has an IP
address with the same network ID as defined by the
subnet mask. If the addressing is correct, check the
connecting cable and confirm that the green continuity
LED on recorder's Ethernet module is lit, indicating that a
connection has been made.

E.3 Configuring FTP Access
The FTP server in the recorder is used to access its file system
from a remote station on the network. This requires an FTP
client on the host PC. Both MS-DOS® and Microsoft® Internet
Explorer version 5.5 or later can be used as an FTP client.
A File Transfer Scheduler Program (FTSP) is available that
enables archive and configuration files to be transferred
automatically to a PC using FTP. The transferred files can be
stored either on the local drive of the PC or on a network drive
for easy access and secure back-up.
To obtain the FTSP (FTS.exe), enter the following (without
spaces) in a web browser's address bar:
