Advanced Networking Topics
Password Security
Your DF-1710 is a UNIX-based system. There is a single user, named “df”, with a default password of
“digiframe”. These login details are required for authentication purposes when you connect to the frame to
upload new media or change settings. The user name cannot be changed.
To change your DF-1710’s FTP password, use Windows Notepad or another text editor to create a new text file
called “password.txt” containing your desired new password. (Ensure that there are no leading spaces or
other extraneous content in the file. If you upload a new password that is not what you thought it
was, you may not be able to re-establish communication with your Digi-Frame). Upload this file to
the DF-1710’s root directory using FTP. When the file is uploaded, the password will be changed automatically
and the “password.txt” file you uploaded will be deleted from the DF-1710’s hard drive.
Note: Password updates are processed only when a new media item is loaded. It may take up to ten seconds
after the update check is run for the password change to be accepted.
SMB Networking Details
Under Windows®, the DF-1710 The Digi-Frame will attempt to join workgroup WORKGROUP, with a computer
name of DF-xxyyzz (where xx, yy and zz are the last three bytes of the frame's MAC address, in hexadecimal).
There is a single sharepoint, named HardDisk. The username and password for the SMB sharepoint are df and
digiframe, respectively; these login details give unrestricted R/W access to the share. By default, the entire
user-accessible area of the hard drive is shared. You can optionally restrict SMB access to a single subdirectory,
or disable SMB sharing altogether, using the SMB* keywords in dfos.ini (see below).
Changing Slideshows and Settings Remotely
You can remotely change many of the DF-1710’ functions by creating a plain text file called “dfos.ini” (all
lowercase) and transferring it to the DF-1710’s root directory. Each setting in dfos.ini must be on a separate
line. Each line contains one parameter and its setting, separated by an equals sign. The parameter name must
be in uppercase. There must be no space between the parameter and the equals sign, or between the equals
sign and the value.
BLOCKSIZE=[1 to 256]
Sets the default block size for transition effects.
HDDSLEEP=[0 to 20]
Sets the disk idle time, in minutes, before the hard disk spins down. The default is 10 minutes. Specifying
an idle time of 0 disables automatic spindown; the hard disk will run continuously.
HDDQUIET=[0 or 1]
Enables (1) or disables (0) hard disk acoustic noise management features. The default is 0. The exact
effect of this setting varies according to the brand and model of hard disk in your Digi-Frame. In general,
setting this parameter to 1 will reduce seeking noise at the expense of some disk performance. If you
intend to play MPEG movies on your Digi-Frame, it is recommended to leave this setting at its default.
