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.
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.
To use FTP to transfer these files to the system's NetLinx Master, you'll need to know the Master's
IP Address:
1. Launch Windows Explorer and navigate to the directory where your Design XPress project is
located.
2. Locate and select every TXT file in the project folder. Be sure to select every TXT file, and
only TXT files.
3. Copy the files to clipboard memory (right-click on the selection and select Copy).
4. Launch Internet Explorer.
5. In the Address box, enter FTP://, followed by the IP Address of the Master, and press Enter.
6. Assuming the IP Address was entered correctly, and the Master is connected properly, you are
presented with a dialog prompting you to enter the User Name and Password for the Master.
7. Enter the User Name and Password, and click the Log On button. Once you are logged on to
the Master, you should see directories associated with your Design XPress project.
8. Paste the copied TXT files into the root of this directory. Do not paste them into a folder or
create a new folder for them; they must reside at the root.
9. Reboot the target Master.

Uploading a Touch Panel File To a Panel

Workspace tab. This action launches the TPDesign4 application and opens the selected TPD4

and entering the communication parameters for the target NetLinx Master used for
communication to the panel. Refer to the particular touch panel instruction manual for more
detailed configuration setup procedures.
3. Note the IP Address and IP port values used by the NetLinx Master for communication.
4. From the TPD4 Main menu, select Transfer > Connect to open the Connect dialog.
