interface, the left side shows the contents of the local hard disk, on the right are the contents of
the enabled REMOTE directory of the PACTOR connected server. Files can easily be moved
between the two sides using standard drag-and-drop actions. In addition to FTP, EasyTransfer
has a “chat” mode to exchange hand typed messages. With that, EasyTransfer is the ideal tool
to exchange computer data via HF and over unlimited distances.
With the verson 3.0 EasyTransfer also supports autoforwarding of files. Autoforwarding
means, that maximum 16 user definable sub-directories can be automatically observed for new
files appearing. These sub-directories are each associated with a destination callsign and a
frequency. If a new file appears in one of these sub-directories (because another application has
created it or copied it there), EasyTransfer automatically establishes a connection to the station
associated and transfers the file(s) to the destination. After the task is done, the connection is
terminated again. With this, EasyTransfer also controls the frequency of the HF-transceiver.
This feature is used to automatically transfer and distribute data without user access being
necessary.

Although some third party software is capable to perform a firmware update of the modem,
SCSupdate
is the recommended one which comes from
SCS
directly. You can check for
new firmware in the download section of the
SCS
website. If you find a newer version there
than actually installed in your modem, you can download the firmware file from there.
Usually it will be a compressed file (-zip) which you need to unzip before you use it. Unzip
and store the file in a certain folder, for the
P4
dragon
the firmware file will have the ending
“.dr7”.
Start
SCSupdate
and follow the instructions top down. First you select the COM port where
the
P4
dragon
is connected to.
SCSupdate
will automatically detect the modem there and
enables the “
Browse
” button. Use this to point
SCSupdate
to the folder where you have
stored the firmware file.
SCSupdate
will show all files compatible with the modem
connected. Select the file you want to use, most probably the one you just have downloaded
and unzipped. Afterwards press the press the “
Send Update
” button, which is enabled now.
You can see the progress bar on the screen of
SCSupdate
as well as on the display of the
DR7800 modem. After the firmware is transferred completely, the modem will install it
automatically. You can watch the progress of this procedure on the modems display as well.
When finished, the modem restarts and you can use it again.
