Send Tab - AMX FILETRANSFER2 V1.0 Instruction Manual

Welcome To FileTransfer2
Use the Send tab for transferring files from the PC running FileTransfer2 and the target Master
Controller or System Device.

Send Tab

The Transfer List table in the Send tab indicates the files that are currently in the Files To Send
queue. Each row in the table represents a single System file, and could be any of the supported
system file types.
The columns in the table display the following file information for each file in the queue:
The Reboot option always reboots the Master, regardless of the device mapping
associated with the file itself. For example, TPD/TP4 files are transferred directly to
the panel, but the Reboot option will reboot the Master - not the panel that received
the file.
You are responsible for ordering your transfers correctly. If you choose to reboot after
a transfer and then immediately attempt to transfer to another device that is on the
bus of the master that is rebooting, the device will more than likely not be available
and the transfer will fail.

It is usually necessary to reboot a NetLinx master after a TKN file transfer. However, it is
not always desirable to have the reboot occur immediately after the file is transferred.
The Reboot checkbox allows you the flexibility of specifying when the reboot should
occur.
