Appendix 2: Uploading LUT Tables using
WebDav or FTP
Introduction
The most common and easy way to upload LUT tables is to use Cortex, which contains a GUI view to
upload the specific files. If you are not using Cortex, you can still upload LUT tables.
To upload files to the UXU without using Cortex, connect the card using its Ethernet port to a computer
that supports WebDAV (Web Folders).
WebDAV
WebDAV is an abbreviation for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning" (published as an open
standard under RFC 2518). WebDAV is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to
collaboratively edit and manage files on a web server. This is achieved by making use of a WebDAV
compatible client / application.
For example, it is possible to use recent versions of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (versions 6.0 and
higher). Using a WebDAV compatible client, the user connects to the server and is able to browse and
manage files in a similar way as with a network share or an FTP server.
In other words, this protocol makes it possible to browse, create, remove, upload, download, rename,
etc., files and directories on a web server. One of the most important advantages of this technology is
that it uses port 80 for network traffic. This means that if you are able to browse the site from your
workstation, you can also use WebDAV to administer it. It does not require firewall reconfiguration.
FTP
FTP (File Transport Protocol) is a very commonly used network protocol used to exchange and
manipulate files over a TCP computer network. This protocol is also compatible with the UXU cards. An
FTP client can connect to an FTP server (in this case the logo/text inserter) to manipulate files on that
server.
Uploading Files Using Windows
