Important
File access
Each Matrox Iris GT has a file server, which allows you to navigate the folders of
your Matrox Iris GT using Microsoft Windows Explorer, create network-shared
folders, and access network-shared folders.
To access files on your Matrox Iris GT from your computer, enter the following
in the Microsoft Windows Explorer's location bar:
\\IrisName
Folders of your Matrox Iris GT
The following shared folders are available on your Matrox Iris GT:
• \UserDisk. This folder contains the MIL applications deployed on your Matrox
Iris GT.
Note that you can backup the contents of the \UserDisk folder using your
❖
normal backup procedure for files. Alternatively, you can use the IrisBackup
utility to make a full image of your Matrox Iris GT's current state. For more
information, refer to the IrisBackup utility section, in Appendix H: Matrox
Iris GT utilities.
• \CEDisk. This folder contains the operating system, Matrox Iris GT utilities, and
the Matrox Iris portal website. Note that you should not need to access this folder
using Microsoft Windows Explorer (via file access).
• \RAMFiles. This folder contains all temporary user files.
Files in the \RAMFiles folder are lost when you power down your Matrox Iris GT.
Copy any required new files in the \RAMFiles folder to the \UserDisk folder before
powering down your Matrox Iris GT.
❖ Note that the \CEDisk, \UserDisk, and \RAMFiles folders are visible through the
file server by default.
