Chapter B,
Introduction
This appendix describes how to set up shared folders on a Windows or Mac
system so they can be used as destination folders for Monarch recordings and file
transfers.
¡ Important
Please note the following about creating shared folders:
• When specifying the path, all folders in the path must already exist. Monarch
will not create new folders.
• When creating a shared folder for Monarch recordings, you must also
specify the basename of the file since you are creating the file at that point.
You
do not specify the basename for file transfers, only the destination
folder, since those files have already been created and named.
Recording or transferring to folders on a USB
or SD card
When recording or transferring to a USB device or SD card, enter the folder(s) on
the recording device to which you want to record, if applicable, followed by the
basename (if it is for a recording). Do not enter a basename for file transfers.
For example, if you want to name your file “Recording1”, and save the file in a
folder named “Files” that is contained within another folder named “Project” on
the root directory, enter
Project/Files/Recording1 . If you want to save the file in
the media device's root directory, enter Recording1 .
Recording or transferring to folders on a
network drive
This option allows you to record or transfer files to a shared folder on the
network. The method for entering the depends on the operating system of the
computer that contains the shared folder. For more information on supported
operating systems, see
“Supported operating systems” on page 2 .
On a Windows system
When recording or transferring to a shared folder that is on a Windows system on
the network, you must enter the IP address of the location on the network that
will receive the file, followed by the shared folder name, and then the basename
(if it is for a recording). Do not enter a basename for file transfers.
Use the following format:
//IP address/shared folder name/basename
