Calling the file manager
Press the PGM MGT:
The TNC displays the file management window
(see Fig. at top right for default setting. If the
TNC displays a different screen layout, press the
WINDOW soft key)
The narrow window at left shows three drives . If the TNC is
connected to a network, it also displayed the connected network
drives. Drives designate devices with which data are stored or
transferred. One drive is the hard disk of the TNC. Other drives are
the interfaces (RS232, RS422, Ethernet), which can be used, for
example, to connect a personal computer. The selected (active)
drive is shown in a different color.
In the lower part of the narrow window the TNC shows all
directories
of the selected drive. A drive is always identified by a
file symbol to the left and the directory name to the right. The TNC
displays a subdirectory to the right of and below its parent directory.
The selected (active) directory is depicted in a different color.
The wide window at on the right side shows all the files
that are
stored in the selected directory. Each file is shown with additional
information that is illustrated in the table on the next page.
