an unused port number.

Ethernet connection is detected.

option, once enabled identify the time period between the end of one FTP download to the start

the clear video protection after download option. If this is not enabled the images would

Ethernet option means when the Network port identifies a change in state of the
Ethernet link (down to up), for example when the Digital Sprite 2 is reset or the
network cable is unplugged then re-connected.
