HD24/96 Technical Reference
88
The Subnet setting on your computer should be set the same as the HDR24/96.
You should now be able to engage the “Connect” command and see the contents of the
HDR24/96’ hard drive. The internal hard drive is C: the external hard drive is E:
Now you can copy files from the HDR 24/96 to your computer, or from your computer to
the HDR24/96. Refer to your FTP client program for details.
Note: A folder named “System,” and files entitled “mackieos.EXE” and “PME.SYS”,
normally hidden on the HDR24/96 file management listings, will be visible on the FTP
listing of the C: drive. These are part of the operating system and should be left intact.
Do not delete any of these files from the HDR24/96 hard drive!
Networking Glossary
Here you will find a short description of some of the features (and acronyms, of course) of
the Network setup:
TCP/IP
TCP/IP is the acronym for Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. These combined
protocols provide the language and guidelines for computers communicating on a
network. Transport Control Protocol might be considered the method by which
computers talk and the Internet Protocol is the assigned number system by which
computers are distinguished. An IP address is a numeric identifier in the format
123.456.789.000. Each computer that is attached to the Internet (WAN/Wide Area
Network) must have a unique IP address so it may be identified. Likewise, in a closed
networking environment (LAN or Local Area Network), a unique IP address must be
assigned to each computer that communicates on the network.
Although LAN computers may connect to a WAN, such practice is typically achieved by
the use of a “Gateway” and/or “Firewall./Router or Proxy Server” A gateway will act as a
conduit for networking traffic and computers that communicate through the gateway will
assume the IP address of the gateway. In other words, if your personal computer, which
is connected to your LAN, has an IP address of 10.1.1.1 and it is connected to the
Internet through a gateway computer with an IP address of 123.456.789.123, other
computers outside your LAN will recognize your computer as having the same IP
address as the gateway computer. Multiple LAN computers may be connected to a
WAN by this method and every computer communicating from behind the gateway will
appear to the WAN as the gateway computer. The gateway will convert the IP
addresses of the LAN computers to its own IP address for both inbound and outbound
traffic.
A firewall/router or proxy server is a hardware and/or software device that allows
definable filtering of specific information, file types and network access. It is often used
for security purposes—if your hard drive and console are networked, you might want to
carefully research the need for firewall/proxy protection.
FTP
FTP is the acronym for File Transfer Protocol. FTP communicates over TCP/IP and is
one of the languages/methods that the Transport Control Protocol accommodates. As
its name implies, FTP was designed to transfer files over a network. Some of the unique
capabilities of FTP are the recognition of transmission loss and file integrity checking. If
a file transfer is interrupted during an FTP session, the FTP “client” will perform an
integrity check and attempt to re-establish connection and transfer. Most FTP servers
