11. System Files
The DF-1710 generates files that you may notice in your FTP root directory:
log.out is a comma-delimited text file containing a log of the last 10,000 media items played, in the following
format:
URL,pause time(in seconds),year,month,day,hour,minute,second
The log file can be deleted at any time without ill effects. Logging can be turned on and off via the Change
Slideshow Defaults menu.
digiframe.config contains the slideshow default settings and other system settings.
dfos.ini contains system configuration settings.
12. Software Updates
If your Digi-Frame has an active internet connection, the easiest way to upgrade is by selecting the Upgrade
Software option in the Main Menu. This will check for a software upgrade on Digi-Frame’s website and install it
if necessary. If no upgrade is required none will be performed. No personal data or other information is
transmitted or exchanged in this process.
If your DF-1710 is not connected to the internet you can update by downloading the upgrade file
digiframe.tar.gz from our website at ftp://www.digi-frame.com. Do not decompress or rename the “tar.gz”
archive file. To install the update, connect to the Digi-Frame via ethernet and upload the file to its root
directory. The Digi-Frame will detect the presence of the update, the new software will automatically be
extracted and installed. During the upgrade process the Digi-Frame will reboot itself twice, do not
interrupt the process until it is complete and the unit is functioning normally!
If you do not have an ethernet connection to your DF-1710 the upgrade file can be put onto a CD or memory
card, which is then simply inserted to initiate the upgrade process. The DF-1710 will go through two reboots as
described above. If the CD is not ejected and the installation confirmation dialog appreas again after the
second reboot, press “||” to cancel and then select “Eject Disk” to eject the upgrade CD.
13. Software Install/Restore
Your Digi-Frame was shipped with the latest version of operating system software already installed; no
installation is necessary to operate your frame. If for some reason the operating system software on your Digi-
Frame becomes damaged, it can be restored by using the included Software Install CD-ROM.
To install the software:
1.
Backup any files that are on the DF-1710 that you want to save, the install process will erase the hard
drive!
2.
Turn on your Digi-Frame if it’s not already on.
3.
Press the eject button on the CD-ROM drive.
4.
Turn the DF-1710 off, insert the software install CD into the drive and close the door.
5.
Turn the DF-1710 back on again. The unit will boot from the CD-ROM and install the software
automatically. The process will take several minutes. When the installation is complete, the CD will be
ejected and the unit will re-boot with the new software. Ignore any text error messages that may
briefly appear on-screen while the unit is booting for the first time after the upgrade.
