NETWORKING
__________________________________________
RADAR ships with a Gigabit Ethernet interface built onto the motherboard. With the appropriate hardware
and with properly configured software, RADAR can backup, restore, export and import files using an
Ethernet connection to a Windows, Linux, or Mac OS, FTP or CIFS (Common Internet File System)
server. Once RADAR is configured for networking, it can also be controlled by RADAR Network Control
software — a Java runtime program that can be installed on any standard computer.
The goal of RADAR networking is to configure the unit for integration into an existing network or for
connection to a personal computer. The concept of networking is very extensive; this section of the
manual only addresses the networking configuration settings to be used with RADAR. Please refer
additional networking questions to the iZ Support department. For instructions on how to import/export
files see OPERATIONS:FILE MANAGEMENT:EXPORT and OPERATIONS: FILE MANAGEMENT: IMPORT sections.
DISCLAIMER: iZ Technology cannot offer advice on networking and security issues that
do not directly pertain to the RADAR system. For further assistance please consult a
networking professional or make use of the extensive resource materials available on the
Internet.
FTP
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is used to transfer data from one computer to another.
RADAR has a built in FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server. This feature enables the transfer of files
between RADAR’s internal IDE drive (e.g., D:ARCHIVE) and a network-connected computer via
Ethernet. Any files on RADAR’s audio drive must first be exported to the internal IDE drive (e.g.,
D:ARCHIVE). Once on the internal IDE drive, any Mac or PC FTP client software can be used to
download/upload the files. For instructions on how to configure RADAR for FTP refer to CONFIGURE
RADAR FOR NETWORKING below. For details on how to export/import files please refer to the
OPERATIONS:FILE MANAGEMENT:EXPORT and OPERATIONS: FILE MANAGEMENT: IMPORT sections.
