Adding Files To The Files To Send Queue
There are several possible approaches to adding files to the Files To Send List (Send tab).
Add some or all of the files contained in a Workspace file or a Workspace-To-Go file.
Add a set of files, defined in a File Transfer List file.
Add individual systems (see Supported File Types list).
Notes:
The file types that are available for selection depend on the selected Platform (Axcess or
NetLinx), Send/Receive selection and Communication settings.
All files must mapped to devices before they can be selected for transfer. You can edit the
file's mapping information via the Edit menu (Device Mapping option), but without any
mapping information associated with the file, it cannot be selected.
Source Code files cannot be sent until they have been successfully compiled.
While Touch Panel UI files are sent to the panels themselves, KPD files are sent to the
master and not directly to the keypad. Before sending a KPD (KPDesign) file to the target
keypad(s), be sure that you have successfully compiled the Source Code file that contains
the keypad module, and sent it to the Master.
