6. Maintenance Tasks
6.1 Uploading Graphics Files
Graphics files may be uploaded to the frame and assigned as tile objects for display. They
might be used for channel identification purposes and up to four images may be displayed at
any one time.
Graphics files to be stored in the frame must be in .png format. Uploading the files is
performed using a PC connected to the MV-32/MV-64 LAN port directly, or over a network.
1. Use a client FTP program such as “FileZilla” or “SmartFTP” to open an FTP
connection to the multiviewer.
Default Multiviewer IP Address: ftp://192.168.0.120
(ftp://192.168.0.121 for second CPU in an MV-32 dual frame)
Username: root
Password: smv
2. Open the Logos directory and copy the graphics file to the Logos directory.
3. The file transfer will begin.
4. When the upload is complete, restart the Java applet to update the Logo file list.
6.2 Multiviewer Layout Files
The Multiviewer layout settings are stored in XML format on the multiviewer and can be
backed up and restored to the Multiviewer if required. The layout can also be used on a
different multiviewer if required. See section 4.6 for details on saving, loading and deleting
multiviewer layouts.
The IP addresses of the frame and the PC must be in the same range. If necessary, the IP
address of the frame can be changed using the setup utility.
System parameters configured on the following Module Properties tabs and sub tabs are
not saved as part of a XML layout file and must be setup manually if moving a layout XML
file to another multiviewer:
• Screen tab (see section 4.11.2)
• Network tab (see section 4.11.8)
• GPIs tab
• GPO Alarms sub tab (see section 4.11.6)
• GPI Inputs sub tab (see section 4.11.7)
• Protocols tab
• Serial Ports sub tab (see section 4.11.10)
• Snell Router Network sub tab (see section 4.11.11)
