Network Setup Dialog Box 
 
The Network Setup dialog box enables you to change detailed parameters related to 
network communication. 
The system uses FTP for material and playlist data transfer, and Telnet to communicate 
with the network players about errors and their status information. 
Note 
In normal operation, it is not necessary to change the parameters in the Network Setup 
dialog box. 
Consult your network administrator when changing them, because inappropriate 
parameters may make the system unstable.  
FTP Settings 
The Number of Sessions text box specifies the number of network players that can be 
simultaneously connected.  Specifying a larger number increases the time required for 
data transmission to each network player. 
The Mode drop-down list box selects PORT or PASV.  Normally, select the PORT 
mode.  Depending on the security management of the network, such as using a firewall 
to prevent unauthorized accesses, however, selecting the PASV mode may enable file 
transfer that is not possible in the PORT mode.  Note that using the PASV mode 
requires the corresponding routers.  
FTP Time-out Settings 
Specifies the duration until a time-out error occurs when attempting an FTP connection, 
and until one occurs during FTP communication.  If time-out errors occur when starting 
connection or during data transfer, make the corresponding setting larger. 
FTP Data Size Settings 
The Sending Data Size text box specifies the size of a data packet sent at a time.  A 
larger setting may increase data transfer speed. 
The Sending and Receiving Buffer Size text boxes specify the buffer size for 
sending/receiving data.  They must be larger than the setting of Sending Data Size.  
Normally, specify a value quadruple of the Sending Data Size. 
Telnet Time-out Settings 
Specifies the duration until a time-out error occurs when attempting a Telnet 
connection, and until one occurs during Telnet communication.  If time-out errors occur 
when starting connection or during data transfer, make the corresponding setting larger. 
Default Settings Button 
Returns all parameters in this dialog box to the default values.
