Set It Up - Tascam SX-1 Release Note

SET IT UP

Note that any changes made to IP settings will normally require a restart to take effect.
You can configure the SX-1 for networking from either the VGA or LCD screens. The VGA
networking panel is found on the Settings screen/Network tab, while the LCD version can be found in
the Preferences/Network screen.
To begin, navigate to the Network screen:
or the LCD version
You can see that each screen allows you choose either Static or DHCP operation, and to enter an IP
address, Net Mask, and a Gateway. The FTP section allows you to define a username and password for
the SX-1.
In this example, the SX-1 is running in static mode, because it is connected to only one other computer.
The username and password are both sx1 to make it easy to remember.
Notice that the screen shows that the FTP server is currently not running. This is because the FTP
server cannot run while the SX-1 is doing anything else.
If the FTP server were allowed to run at the same time as the hard disk recorder, it is theoretically
possible that a situation might be encountered where the FTP server was attempting to write to a file at
the same time the HDR was. This could create any number of problems, so it is disallowed. Running
the FTP server separately means that the SX-1 always checks the disk for any changes made before
continuing — thus avoiding any potential problems due to unknown or changed files on the hard drive.
To start the FTP server, press the START SERVER button.
