To Upload Files From The Computer To The Hd24; More About Ip Addresses - Alesis ADAT-HD24 Reference Manual

To upload files from the
computer to the HD24
After you have edited audio in the computer, you
can send it back to the HD24, with certain
limitations:
• The file name must follow the format
"TrackXX.aif" or "TrackXX.wav",where XX is
the number of the track.
• Files can only be dragged into a folder of the
correct type (i.e., AIFF or WAV).
• The Song must already exist on the HD24's
drive, and it must have the same number of
tracks. So, if you've created a new song on
your computer, and you wish to transfer it to
the HD24, first create a new song on the HD24
using the new song's sample rate and track
width first.
• If you have lengthened a file in the computer,
the HD24 must lengthen the song before it goes
ahead and uploads the file. It will do this
automatically, as long as there is available
empty disk space. If the HD24 doesn't have
enough free space to store the longer song, the
file transfer will be aborted.
To upload, drag the folder or individual files from
the desktop of the computer into the Web browser
or FTP software window, after a connection has
been established.

More about IP addresses

An IP address (such as "192.168.1.1") is actually
four eight-byte numbers used to define a network;
that's why each number can only be in the range
from 0 to 255. In a network that has up to 256
different elements, the first three bytes will be the
same for every piece of equipment on the network,
and each equipment will have a unique last
number.
Certain numbers are reserved for special uses. For
instance, IP addresses ending in .0 or
.255 are reserved, and should not be
used.
The most important thing is that whatever IP
addresses you choose for your system, that they
don't conflict with or infringe upon other networks
you may need to access.
"192.168.1..." as the default because that has been
designated as a prefix for local networks only.
