Connecting to computers via USB Ethernet and FTP

Overview
You can use a separately‐purchased USB Ethernet
adaptor and the KRONOS's built‐in FTP server for fast,
easy file transfer with personal computers. For
instance, you can:
• back up files to your computer
• transfer samples to the KRONOS
• organize and re‐name files and directories on the
KRONOS internal disks
Important: compatible USB ethernet adaptor
required
The KRONOS supports a specific set of off‐the‐shelf
USB Ethernet adaptors. For a complete list, see "USB
Ethernet and FTP support" on page 25.
What's FTP?
FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol," and is a
standard way to access files over networks. You can
use FTP to transfer files between the KRONOS internal
disk(s) and any modern computer system.
The KRONOS is an FTP "server," and your computer
will be the FTP "client." Free FTP client software is
available for all modern operating systems; some may
include built‐in FTP support. If you don't already have
FTP client software, try searching for "free ftp client"
for your operating system (e.g., Windows or Mac).
Connecting to the KRONOS via FTP
On the KRONOS:
1. Connect a compatible USB ethernet adaptor.
2. Connect an ethernet cable from the adaptor to your
local network.
For connection to a wireless network, you'll need to
use a wireless‐to‐ethernet bridge.
3. Go to the Global 0‐5 Network page.
This page lets you set up the USB ethernet connection
and configure the FTP server .
4. Set the User Name and Password as desired.
The user name must be at least one character, and can
be up to 32 characters, including letters, numbers, and
dashes. The password may be left blank, if you are not
concerned about security; like the user name, it can be
up to 32 characters.
5. Leave the other parameters set to their defaults.
6. Note the IP address shown in the TCP/IP section.
This will be something like 10.0.1.2, or 192.168.1.2.
You're now ready to connect to the KRONOS from
your computer.
On your computer:
7. If you haven't already done so, install FTP client
software.
8. In the FTP client software, connect to the IP
address from step 6 above, with the name and
password from step 4.
If you need more information about how to configure
your FTP software, see its documentation.
After connecting, you should be able to see the internal
disk(s) of your KRONOS. You can then use your FTP
client software to transfer files between the KRONOS
and your computer.

Network Troubleshooting

The Status parameter shows the current state of the
KRONOS network connection. Normal states are
shown in black text, and errors are shown in red.
If the Status shows an error, try the following:
1. Press the Configure button to open the Configure
TCP/IP dialog.
2. Press OK to close the dialog.
This will make KRONOS attempt to reconnect to the
network; watch the Status parameter to see its
progress.
3. Make sure that all ethernet cables are connected
properly.
If possible, it's sometimes helpful to swap the cables
themselves.
Network troubleshooting is outside the scope of this
manual, but here are a few other things to try:
4. If possible, use DHCP instead of manual
addressing.
5. Try restarting the DHCP server (usually, this will
be the network router).
