12 Getting Started
To copy playlist 0 to the
Information Station from your
hard drive, first change
directories to the PLAYLISTS
directory, then type put
ply00000.lst. Press Enter.
When the FTP> prompt is
shown again, you know the
transfer is complete. Type ls.
Press Enter. Playlist 0 is now
shown on the Information
Station’ s hard drive (not
shown—see above).
To exit DOS FTP, type quit.
Press Enter. To exit DOS, type
exit and press Enter. Take it
from here. Be careful, and
understand the commands that
you’ re using before doing
anything crazy.
Duplicate IP Addresses
If you use the same computer to talk to several Information Station’ s straight
from the factory, you’ ll need to do the following:
Each time you communicate over Ethernet with a different Information Station,
open a DOS window. Type
arp -d 192.168.0.254
Press Enter. (This is
assuming the Information Station is set up to the default IP address). It clears
away old IP address relationships that can cause problems like delays while
connecting when using FTP, web browsers, etc… Once you change your IP
Addresses for the Information Station’ s, you won’ t have to do this anymore.
Read the Manual!
Read the rest of this manual. Information like how to name your files, the power
of playlists, serial control, etc… are all right at your fingertips. The few minutes
you invest will save you hours of time. Enjoy!
