FileTransfer2
parity = specifies the parity. This should be set to N for no. Other values are O for odd, E
for even, M for mark and S for space.
stopbits = specifies stop bit value. This should be set to 1.
flow = specifies flow control. This should be set to N for none. Other values are D for
DTR-DSR, X for XON-XOFF, and R for RTS-CTS.
An example of a serial transfer over COM3 port would be:
COM3,57600,8,N,1,N
For VNM/USB transfers, the command would be:
VNM=systemNumber
where V specifies the VNM and the system Number is the system number of the master that the
device is connected to.
An example for a VNM transfer would be:
VNM=1
For modem transfers, the command would be:
COM3,57600,8,N,1,N,555-123-4567
DeviceMapping
- For NetLinx masters, the device mapping will be in the D:P:S form:
128:1:3455
For Axcess masters, the device mapping argument will contain a single device value:
128
Send
- This flag indicates that the specified file is to be sent to the device.
Receive
- This flag indicates that the specified file is to be received from the device.
Axcess
- This flag indicates that the specified transfer is an Axcess transfer
Boot
- This flag indicates that the master should be rebooted after all transfers on the
connection are finished.
User
- For NetLinx masters that have security enabled, the argument will need to contain
the username and password separated by a colon:
–User="fieldtech:mypassword"
Optimize
- For TP4 transfers, this enables Smart Transfer. Smart Transfer automatically
optimizes the download by identifying the various components (fonts, bitmaps, sound
files, even pages and popup pages) of the panel file you have specified for download, and
comparing them to the elements already present on the target panel. Any shared
components are not downloaded, resulting in a much faster transfer (assuming that there
are shared components).
Direct
- Indicates a "Direct To Device" connection. Any device mapping is ignored, and
this method is only valid for single-file transfers.
Tpd
- For TPD transfers, this indicates whether to send bitmaps, icons, and fonts.
To not send bitmaps, icons, or fonts, do not specify the equal "=" sign.
For NetLinx masters, the default DPS is 0:1:0. For Axcess masters there is no default
and a device number (even zero) must be specified. This is because a single device
number is used to differentiate an Axcess transfer from a NetLinx transfer.
