Remote hard disk
3.1 Remote hard disk
The CNC can have a local hard disk (at the CNC itself) or a remote hard disk accessible through
Ethernet.
As remote hard disk, it is possible to use the hard disk of a PC or just a folder. This memory space
may be shared by several CNC's or each may have its own memory space. The PC that makes its
hard disk (server) public must be connected to the local network.
The interface and the softkeys of the CNC will the same as if it were a local hard disk. When accessing
the CNC through WinDNC or FTP, the remote hard disk behaves like a local hard disk.
Protocol used
The NFS protocol is used to communicate with the remote hard disk. This protocol must be available
at the PC that is used as server.
The remote hard disk is configured by machine parameters. Refer to the chapter on machine
parameters for Ethernet in the installation manual.
