Testing Communication with Your DF-1710
Communicating Using SMB File Sharing
•
Under Windows®, Open “Network Neighborhood” or “My Network Places” (depending on which version of
Windows you are running).
•
You should see an item called df-xxxxxx, where “xxxxxx” will be a series of numbers unique to your Digi-
Frame. If df-xxxxxx does not appear in Network Neighborhood or My Network Places, double-click “Entire
Network”, where you should see an item called “WORKGROUP”, in which df-xxxxxx will appear.
•
Double click df-xxxxxx and you will see an item called “HARDDISK”.
•
Double Click “HARDDISK”, and you will be prompted for a username and password. Enter df for the
username and digiframe for the password. The Digi-Frame’s internal hard disk should open in a window
on your desktop, and you can copy files to and from it just like any other network volume.
•
Under Mac OSX, open a window in the Finder. In the upper half of the left-hand pane there will be an Icon
labeled “Network”. Click the Network icon and in the right hand pane an item called “df-xxxxxx” should be
present, where “xxxxxx” is a series of numbers unique to your Digi-Frame.
•
Double click df-xxxxxx and you will see an item called “HARDDISK”.
•
Double Click “HARDDISK”, and you will be prompted for a username and password. Enter df for the
username and digiframe for the password. The Digi-Frame’s internal hard disk should open in a window
on your desktop, and you can copy files to and from it just like any other network volume.
Communicating Using FTP
Select “System and Network Information” from the Main Menu to see your Digi-Frame’s wired and wireless IP
addresses, and whether or not a DHCP server was found for each. If no ethernet connection is present or a
DHCP server is not found, the DF-1710 will use default IP addresses compliant with AutoIP standards for plug-
and-play networking on both Macintosh and Windows.
If you’re using a web browser to access your DF-1710, type “ftp://df:[email protected]” into your
browser’s “Address” (Explorer) or “Location” (Netscape) field, replacing, “password” with your password
(“digiframe” is the default password), and “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” with your Digi-Frame’s IP address. For example if
your Digi-Frame’s IP address is 192.168.0.25 and you haven’t changed the default password you should enter:
ftp://df:[email protected]
into the browser’s address field. If you’re using an FTP client program, enter the IP address of your DF-1710 in
the appropriate field, enter “df” as the user name and “digiframe” as the password. No directory path should
be entered. If all goes well the browser window or FTP client will then display the contents of the “root”
directory on the DF-1710’s internal hard drive, and you can now drag and drop files to your browser or FTP
client window to transfer them to your Digi-Frame. If your web browser or FTP client program is unable to
establish communication with your DF-1710 please refer to the Troubleshooting section at the end of this
manual.
