Fixed Update Time
Allows the setting of a fixed time, on an hourly basis, for an FTP
update, for example 14:00. To activate this field, first set the Update
Interval to
Use Fixed Time
.
Delete Content
Permits a Mantis player to instruct the FTP server to delete content files
from the server. After an update, if Delete Content is enabled, the FTP
server deletes all of the content files in the accessed directory, except
for the one used in the most recent update.
For example, there are two Mantis players, Mantis1 and Mantis2, on the
network and they each have their own update files, Mantis1.tar and
Mantis2.tar, on the FTP server. If Mantis1 has Delete Content enabled
and performs and update, the server removes Mantis2.tar and only
Mantis1.tar remains. When Mantis2 attempts to update, its file is
missing and the update fails.
If it is necessary to update multiple players and it is necessary to use the
Delete Content function, there are two methods to consider:
a. Because Delete Content does not touch files in other
directories, create a directory on the FTP server for Mantis2
and place its update file Mantis2.tar in it.
b. If both players use the same update content, name the
content update firefly.tar . This is the default update filename
that a player searches for when it can not find an update
targeted specifically to it. For details about FTP updating
see,
FTP Updating on page 113.

Dialup number for network where the FTP server is located.
Dialup Retries

Use Delete Content with Caution
This process removes, from the FTP server, all files within the
accessed directory, except for those used in the most recent
content update.
