PS folders, the default Users group has sufficient privileges to copy files to and from the
ePro PS. Once the new user has been created, the user will be able to connect both
PCs to the same Ethernet network, and from the Windows 98 PC you will be able to
browse or “find” the ePro PS on the network and copy files to and from it’s shared
directories.
C/D Partitions
Your ePro PS unit comes with two drive partitions
•
C:\ partition
•
D:\ partition
Eaton recommends that you use these drives as follows:
Drive Partition Recommended Use
C:\ Use the C:\ partition for software installations, to store all of your
programs and purchased software. This partition is protected
(locked down), so you should use it to store all data on the ePro
PS that needs to be protected.
Note: All changes made to the C:\ partition must be saved or
committed so that the next time the ePro PS is restarted the new
data will be available. Refer to the
Protect Mode Save section
for additional information about saving files to the C:\ partition.
D:\ Use the D:\ partition to store data that changes on a regular
basis, such as configuration files.
