THE DNP100 DRAKE NETWORK PLAYER
ADDING CONTENT
ADDING content to DSM is a fast and easy procedure that will be familiar to most operators of the
DNP100. There are a few key points to keep in mind in order to ensure a smooth experience when
uploading content to the DNP100:
1.
Uploading Content Files to your DNP100 is a 2 Step Process.
First, you must ADD your content
fi
les to DSM.
Second, you must then push that content to the DNP100 by using the LOAD / PLAY Button
or the PUBLISH Button, both of which are located on the PLAYERS Tab - PLAYER
CONTROL TAB. (See
Chapter 5, Loading Playlist and Layout
for more detail)
)
2. File Names Can Not Have Spaces (“ ”) or Punctuation Marks in Them.
The DNP100 uses a Linux-based operating system. A Linux system operates differently
than how a Windows-based OS operates. One notable difference:
fi
le names with spaces
or punctuation marks will cause a LOAD ERROR. Typically, DSM will notify you with a
warning prompt when this occurs as you are ADDING a
fi
le, however, to ensure
fl
uid oper-
ation when ADDING
fi
les, rename any
fi
les before ADDING to DSM to avoid this situation.
3.
Be sure that the type of
fi
le that you are ADDING is recognized and supported.

Be certain there is enough free space on the DNP100’s removable SD Memory Card.
The DNP100 comes standard with a 8 GB SD Memory Storage Card that is removable and
thus replaceable with a properly formatted greater-capacity SD Memory Storage Card. The
SD Card acts as the primary content /
fi
le storage for the DNP100.
(Successful testing on SD Memory Cards of up to 32 GB storage capacity have been com-
pleted. No testing beyond 32 GB has been completed.)
