5.2 Using an External Card Reader
The SD Card can be ejected from the
X-Stream
by applying gentle pressure, causing it to pop out of the
slot. It can then be inserted into a Card reader and be seen as a mass storage device. MP3 files can simply be
‘dragged’ across to the Card. If you need to erase files, the Card will need to be re-formatted as a FAT or FAT16
file system before new file(s) are ‘dragged and dropped' within Windows.
Note:
SD Cards are ‘hot swappable’. There is no need to remove power from the
X-Stream
. Playing
automatically commences when another loaded SD Card is inserted.
DO NOT expect the WaveCube Server to keep track of file changes using a Card Reader/writer.
It won’t! Use either the WaveCube Server OR a Card reader to perform updates, not both.
6. Sending & Receiving Hints
Treat your password as a preventative measure against unauthorised access to your unit. Good passwords
are at least 6 characters in length and contain a mix of letters and numbers (eg. RPS82QZ9). It is more
secure if the password is not a human-readable word or common sequence of characters.
Updates should perhaps be scheduled to occur after hours as no audio is output while the
X-Stream
is
receiving a new MP3 file.
The
X-Stream
supports multi-file updates.
You can choose to add or replace files. Files are replaced by performing a complete erase prior to
uploading a new track.
Each time a new file is uploaded to the WaveCube Update Centre, it is automatically copied to your
account’s Media Pool. You are then able to send files from your Media Pool to other
X-Stream
s in your
account. Typically this would be used to send the same On-Hold message to all
X-Stream
s in the same
account. The Media Pool also allows you to revert to a previous track for your On-Hold message.
Firewalls only need to have the usual port 80 or 443 open for normal Internet access.
The WaveCube Auto-Mailer message is typically like “
Wavecube X-Stream serial no.1337
(IP:203.214.59.118) successfully downloaded an MP3 named "Never_Coming_Back.mp3" on Thursday,
July 12, 2007 at 10:54AM. The total time taken to complete the download was 14 minutes, 56 seconds with
an average transfer rate of 9991bytes per second. There are now 0 file(s) remaining in the download queue.
Note: This is an auto-generated email and cannot be replied to
”.
Do not upload single files larger than 8 MB. The WaveCube Server has an 8 MB limit per transaction.
The FAT file system limits the total number of tracks to 512 or less depending on the number of ‘tiles’ used.
Reducing the length of the file names reduces the number of ‘tiles’ used, increasing the allowable number of
tracks.
If multiple updates are waiting, the
X-Stream
will process them one at a time.
There is no
X-Stream
Client software that must be left running.
Don’t worry about some email accounts that have a limit on the size of attachments receivable. The
X-
Stream
does not use email for message downloads, only for download success notification.
In
the
X-Stream
settings window, there is only DHCP (defaults to on), Username & Password to worry
about. You can also adjust the volume (audio output level) if required.
Do NOT close the Update Centre window, or Logout, or use the back arrow during sending a file as
this will inadvertently abort the upload. You can simply minimize the window and continue working
on other tasks during the upload process.
